What a pleasant surprise, 30 Nov 1999
By C. Riker "silver_spring" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Made in Japan (Audio CD)
When I heard a few months ago that Deep Forest was going to release a live Cd I was surprised. One would think this studio mastered group combining world beats with dance grooves might not be able to pull off a live album. Prepare to be surprised!The CD combines their most popular songs from the preceeding three albums. Performing with Deep Forest are several singers from various backgrounds. This is a very beautiful CD and relaxing too. If you want a great CD and are new to the World beat realm pick up a copy. I think you will enjoy this CD.

Oh my gosh, it's rockin'-awesome!, 26 Dec 1999
By earthpet@hotmail.com - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Made in Japan (Audio CD)
A couple of years ago, Deep Forest toured through my area, and I thought that a live concert by a band whose music is built almost entirely on samples an sequencers seemed a bit pointless. Next time Deep Forest comes my way, I won't make the same mistake. This album is nothing less than brilliant. Each song is completely reinterpreted, with live vocals and gorgeous instrumentation. They walk a delicate line between making these reinterpretations pointless and making them completely unrecognizable, and they do it with uncommon grace. Every track sounds fresh, the album has an unlikely consistency considering the differences between the albums from which the original songs are culled, and the production on the entire disc is perfect. When most bands who try their hands at live recording fall flat on their faces, the best concert album I've ever heard has come from an unlikely source.

The best live CD I've ever heard, 1 Sep 2002
By Distant Voyageur "Nicholas Computer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Made in Japan (Audio CD)
I'm not too much into live albums. In general, I am more into the studio recorded albums than I am into live albums and I hate the redundant clapping and shouting but Made In Japan is a HUGE exception. They actually improved the songs! Many of the songs on here while they sound good on their parent albums sound greatly improved especially those from the Comparsa albums. Green & Blue in it's parent album sounds good but the live version on Made In Japan sounds absolutely incredible! I especially love the live versions of Deep Weather, The Hunter and their internation smash hit Sweet Lullaby. While the original version has a sort of danceable beat the live version on this CD to me is better. It's great to hear their older songs given different drum loops with Sweet Lullaby being the prime example. In fact I like the live version alot more with the beats sounding a bit more original. The more complex sound of Sweet Lullaby magnifies that tracks power.
The musicianship is absolutely incredible. Forest Power is just plain breathtaking with fusions of rock, world, pop, jazz, funk and New Age all melted together.
While I don't really recommend live albums that much Made In Japan however I have to say is a must have.
