Music reviews of Essence of the Forest
Music Review: Not quite essential but still a marvelous collection.
Rating: 5 Stars
Deep Forest's "Essence of the Forest" is a very good retrospective of the material that Deep Forest has released from their 1992 self-titled debut to their 2002 album "Music Detected". Spanning 15 tracks, "Essence" is a very well-assembled collection for those who are seeking a strong introduction to Deep Forest's music. Veteran fans who already have their studio albums may not find much new material on here save for newer versions of the songs that were on their first album. For some reason, I wonder why they decided to re-do the original tracks. Did they hate the originals? Though collectively speaking, it had overall decent results, it kind of makes on miss out on the original versions. However my favorite remix is their 2004 rendition of the stunning "Night Bird". The original song is a stunning beauty but this updated version brings a lively updated sound that makes the original version proud. This version has a heavier and more pulsating beat and more intense ambient sound. The fundamental mood of the track is hardly altered. Of all the remakes, the "Night Bird 2004" is easily my favorite one. The remakes of "Sweet Lullaby", and "Desert Walk" are enjoyable without being spectacular updates. Also included are the live version of "Green and Blue" which I think is superior to the excellent original. The original is wonderful but the live version of the track improves it by light years. Also included is a track called "Undecided" which never saw any release on any of their U.S. releases. It is a very good track and brings the collection to a wonderful close. Also featured is Senegalese singer Youssou N'Dour whose presence adds to this track. Overall, "Essence" is a marvelous collection. The bonuses are enough to render it a great purchase for completists. Newbies should definitely buy this CD and then expand their Deep Forest collection from there.
