Deep Forest were the first 'band' that I ever had on cassette, and whilst browsing through a music store in the streets of Hanoi, Vietnam, I came across Boheme. As the CD cost little over 50p I decided to buy it, and I haven't looked back since then.
'Boheme' is one of those albums that can quite easily remain in your CD player for weeks on end, truly beautiful.
If you are toying with the idea of buying it - just do it - and like me, you won't look back!

Deep Forest manages to make Marta Sebestyen sound even more evocative than she usually sounds ... her voice is soulful, poignant, piercingly tender and sincere. This CD is one nonstop experience of primarily Hungarian/Gypsy and Eastern European culture. It is made more enticing and alluring by the qualities Deep Forest brings forth with their creative imaginations -- they add unique beats and splendid vocalizations. They start with an original piece of music by the original artist, then intepret and expand the sound into haunting and ethereal dimensions. I can not say which is my favorite because the whole CD is one magnificent production of high quality and artistry. The traditional music of this region is combined with modern instruments which only makes the original sound even *more* visceral and earthy ... the root music takes hold of you!!! It does not let go. The unsuspecting listener becomes entranced by a traditionAL sound and an almost dying ancient culture ... fortunately it is being rediscovered and interpreted by musicians such as Deep Forest. I love the cover, the falling orange leaves and the "psi" symbol. The sunlight being filtered through the fog is such an appropriate and absolutely well targeted symbol of the musical contents.

This is a very good CD, though like Deep Forest's earlier work, it helps if you like this genre of music since it is a little strange, and you might not like it straight away. I had to listen to it several times before I got to like it, though over the years I have grown MORE fond of it. "Boheme" retains many of the sounds and feel of the previous album, but, this time round substitutes African influences with eastern European and particularly Gypsy ones. I found the first album a little downbeat, and "Boheme" also comes across as downbeat. Those who prefer more upbeat stuff should check out Deep Forest III: Comparsa. I should mention: one of the tracks on "Boheme" sounds awful; like a toothless man trying to sing. Some other good tracks are occasionally marred by excessively weird sounds or voices. Overall, though, I like this album, but I think it helps if you like this kind of music...

Enchanting music
This is such a beautiful mix of world music that touches the heart again and again. It is like an odyssey to various cultures, but it is flowing and kept harmonious. Very soothing!
