Deep Forest [CD-single]

Amazon.com
The primordial unknown--or the modern urban dweller's impressions thereof--has long been a staple of New Age music. So it was only a matter of time before some studio whiz got the notion to take the translation process one step further and bring that atmosphere to the dance floor. It's definitely authentic--the creators studied and borrowed genuine chants from African tribes--but just as importantly, it's remarkably seductive. The chart-topping signature song, "Sweet Lullaby," is indicative of what's going on in the grooves of the other nine tracks; ambient house beats burble pastorally while "multi-culti" samples ebb and flow gracefully, even romantically, through the mix. -- David Sprague

New Age music, ambient electronica, and spiritualized hip-hop received their first major, K-Tel-like treatment in 1996 when Virgin Records assembled Pure Moods. The "As Seen on TV" compilation quickly became a hot seller, and it would be nice to think that its popularity has as much to do with the music as the marketing. To be sure, Pure Moods offers genre hits aplenty: from Enya's "Orinoco Flow" to "Sadness" from Enigma; from a dance mix of the "X-Files Theme" to edits of vintage electronica from Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells) and Jean Michele Jarre (Oxygene). Beyond other selections of beat-enhanced chants and a few other popular themes ("The Mission," "Twin Peaks"), the album, refreshingly, also includes a few selections noteworthy only for their originality and quality. A three-track section near end of the 70-minute disk features affecting soft African chants from Geoffrey Oryema, followed by "My Wife with Champagne Shoulders," a dollop of regal, faintly ethereal romanticism from master film scorer Mark Isham, then a robust piano workout, "The Promise" from Michael Nyman (The Piano). With so many elements of interest on its 17 tracks, the album's broad diversity is sure to have broad popularity. --Terry Wood

Only Needs A Bit Of M E H D I.......2007-07-31

Oh, Wow! This is a cd that will be liked by all who enjoy M E H D I, E N I G M A or E N Y A. It is the very essence of good new age. So tranquil, yet so spirited, this cd is a refreshing break from my well-worn collection, I just keep wanting to listen to it over and over again. I am amazed! It reminds me somewhat of the others in the series, but still very unique. This is music to the soul. Absolutely relaxing, as well.

ALSO RECOMMENDED: M E H D I ~ Instrumental Paradise Volume 8 .JUST GO LISTEN TO THE SAMPLES ... A TRUE GEM !

A classic.......2007-06-14

Great compilation of electronic music for it's time. A lot of depth to it, you don't get to the 5th or 6th song and start getting into what seems like "filler".

Classical relaxation.......2007-05-20

I loved the music on here they are so peacful like the xfiles theme tubular bells with the overy babbling melody and crockettes theme which was the best song with no vocals and they saved the best for last LILY WAS HERE with excellent non vocaling music with lite accoustic guitars and perfect saxaphone playing with a touch of soothing melody. My mothers into spiritual things mostly and she loves this pure moods mix of peacful music. I use to listen to this while I sleep I loved it but now I sleep with the fan on because I love to hear the sound of the fan while I sleep.

New Age as a child? Really?.......2007-05-17

I must have been around six or seven when I came across this cd through the TV ads. I couldn't buy it myself but I loved the music. It wasn't until I was much older and borrowed it from the library did I remember how much I loved this. I uploaded some of the songs onto my computer, only because I had downloaded some of them already. I started listening to the other pure moods and it's still the same.

Flowing music between ambient, new age, and soft electronica it pulls up its own forrest of emotion as it pulls you closer into the center of yourself. YOu find those pieces of you again that you haven't discovered. A must have for anyone wanting to get in touch with themselves, or just don't know how to relax after a hard day at work.

The Sway.......2007-05-16

I must admit, I've always felt kind of silly for owning this CD. Yet it's got wonderful songs on it. Each one sets a tone that carries you throughout. I've had this CD for years and I still pull it out and listen to it.

A Delightful Sojurn.......2007-04-14

Deep Forest is a must for those who like music that is relaxing and enthralling. This music creates visual dreamscapes in the mind where you explore. More imaginative than typical "new age" stuff. Even Tom Servo and Crooow lampooned most new age stuff on a MST3K show. They said to make a New Age album one only has to get a Synthsizing Organ, hold some keys down for infinate and get a contract! Deep Forest goes far beyond that!

Taking aborigone African drumming and piping, refashioning it with synthesizers, it creates dreamscapes of forests and jungles that are peaceful and relaxing. The perfect escape from the sounds of the city in a busy workday!

Get this album and relax for a while

i have looked everywhere for this cd and this is the only place that i could find it. it is the most relaxing music in the world. thank you so very much. Angie

Keystone album of Tribal Techno genre.......2006-07-06

Trust Peter Gabriel to blaze this trail, leading a small horde of other musicians and artists to follow in his footsteps. Much of what has come after has been of the cookie-cutter and imitation variety, but this album, to me anyway, is the foundation stone of what I like to think of as Tribal Techno.

The various samples of indigenous-speak are skillfully woven into the pleasant synthetic music, or is it the synthetic music being woven into the tribal-talk? Hard to say, as it could go both ways. I recommend this album for collectors of New Age and electronic music especially, as it really has become a classic in the years since its release.

This is also the strongest of all the Deep Forest albums, much in the same way that the original Enigma and Delerium releases continue to be the strongest among their respective sets.

Techno Bell.......2005-12-06

I first heard Deep Forest back when i was in high school, working at Taco Bell. We listened to Muzak's "Hitline" satellite program there and they used to play track #1- "Deep Forest", all the time. I was fascinated by that song....I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be techno, dance, ambient, or whatever. I wasn't even sure what language they were singing in. It took me a while to track down the artist and CD and 11 years later I am *still* listening to it. Marta's Song from Boheme also rocks....

Into Another World.......2005-10-08

This music speaks a language that is new to our ears, yet familiar in a way that can't be named. The first time I heard it was in a shop in Santa Barbara, CA over a decade ago. I immediately went up to the counter, asked what was playing, and purchase it. Years later, one of these songs would turn up as the theme to the reality TV show, Survivor.

If I go too long without listening to this CD, I am drawn back to it like a missing link.

Boheme is an extraordinary musical masterpiece!.......2006-07-05

Boheme by Deep Forest is an original work of art which integrates so many different musical ideas it should appeal to most listeners. This is one CD where you may never get the itch to "fast forward" a particular song. It flows so well I am always surprised each time it ends. "Why do all the good ones seem so short?" I'll say to myself. I enjoy listening to other artists like Mythos, Enigma, and more recently Delirium or Magna Canta. All of these artists create wonder by blending modern day sound with traditional concepts and/or styles. However, Boheme began to have a unique and "sacred" appeal to it so I regard this CD as very special. I recommend Boheme to any who wish to be "enchanted" by the forces of ancestral yesteryear blended with the musical delights of today!! I own two copies of Deep Forest's "Boheme" to make certain I will never be without this great music.

One of the Best.......2006-06-12

Just wanted to add my quick two cents regarding this album. This is the best album from Deep Forest and is one I play regularly. The mixture of sound and music in this album is really great. I'm still waiting for Deep Forest to put out another album as good as this one. None of them have come close.

Really pretty. And...did I already say really pretty?.......2005-07-09

Boy, this is a tough one to review. For just about anyone, I mean, because this is so unusual, so far removed from anything else, even other New Age music (oh, just deal already!), there's absolutely nothing to compare it to.

Which means you have to judge it for what it is, which is...well, I don't know. It has the pygmy sounds, and I could tell they were going for the "electronica" elements (nice touch), y'know, so it doesn't get lumped with generic New Age. Other than that, this is just a very nice, offbeat, listenable album. I did say "really pretty" too, right? :-)

Earthy, lusty, magical and wonderful.......2005-03-17

Like a fine French meal laced with treats from Asia and Africa, the Middle East and place in between, this Deep Forest CD is a treat for all the senses. Sensual, earthy and magical. As the creators note 'Afin que se balade, se tisse et se bataisse la rapsodie moderne de Bhoeme, nous en avons varie les sons, les provenaces et les orchestrations'. "To allow the wandering, weaving, and building of Boheme's modern Bohemian rhapsody, we have varied sounds, origins and orchestrations'.

Anasthasia has a middle eastern feel with deep string instruments and drumming, with a magical flute that tickles the senses. The way the flute and voices quiver is spell binding.

Bohemian Ballet is a song that I and friends literally get up and dance to, whether inside or outside on the beach or near our mountain stream. It is a happy song that has sensual rhythms that are intoxicating. Raise your hands and clap along as you do your own style of belly dance.

Martas Song begins with what sounds like a rain stick and a woman's beautiful voice, and evolves into an echoing style with yodeling undertones from men in an Indian or Chinese flare.

Gathering has a mystical sound and I could easily invision swirlkling in hympnotic circles. For me there were hints of northern Africa in the sounds of the men's voices. Although I could easily invision remote Greek villages full of men dancing in traditional Greek circles.

Lament begins with a magical flute group that slowly evolves to a man singing who sounds a tad Tibetain or Eastern European, and then just as quickly it seems as if a group of children from China are accompaning him. A slow almost lullaby beat.

Bulgarian Melody begins with a beautiful piano and then there is either an Asian or Eastern European voice, dialect that reminds me of when I toss a pebble on the water and I watch it dance along making ripples. Then suddenly the piano in almost a classical manner comes back, with hints of string instruments in the background.

Deep Folk Song is so like the Russian folk dancing music that I have always loved. One can hear the feet jumping up and coming down firmly rythmetic on the wood floor. Then a raspy voiced gem of a man comes along singing what is like a converstation. One can almost invision him gazing into ones eyes as he sings his conversation.

Freedom Cry. Listening to this song I knew what the CD insert meant when it noted that the titles express something beyond folklore, but are also rallying songs of freedom and fraternity.

Twosome begins with another one of those Asian/Indian feeling songs with flute and richness that is like a Persian rug rich in colour, texture and feel. One feels like dancing and twirling to the sway and flow of the rhythm. In some ways I could almost feel the warmth of the sun on my face, and the smell of jasmine in the air.

Cafe Europa sounds a tad Spanish or Basque to me. Could easily invision flamingo dancing in some adobe structured villa surrounded by olive groves. Even though I know it is modern acoustical instruments that are used, there was almost a hint of a harpsichord of centuries past. And I love the fiddle playing and what appears to be an accordion.

Katharina There is that mystical wood instrument again, echoing and teasing the listener. And the soft modern organ. In fact the wood instrument may well me some magical organ key. All I know is I love the sound.Close your eyes as you listen to this song and picture yourself laying back in a boat rocking softly on the Mediterranean sea near Monaco, France or even near some remote Greek island.
Finally.

Boheme lives up to its name or the word Bohemian. Earthy, lusty, sensual and colourful. A real march to your own drummer song.

Haunting Ethereal Voices, Rhythms & Melodies.......2004-07-06

What a fascinating and spine-tingling interpretation and enhancement of Eastern European music, primarily Hungarian, which is my heritage. 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.

Deep Forest - Essence of my music collection.......2007-02-25

I bought this cd a year and a half ago not really knowing much about the group except for their song Sweet Lullaby. I was not disappointed, I love this cd!! It is now one of my most played cds I own!! It will be a cd that will always be in my music collection. Some people don't get into music they cant understand the words too, but I think that is one of the more beautiful sides to the album. I have also purchased Boheme and will purchase more of their cds the duo has recorded.

The Best of The Forest.......2007-02-08

Essence of the Forest is a masterpiece collection.

The wonderfull reproduction of eternal music of the French duo will not dussapoint anyone in this beautifull world, united so well by the Deep Forest music.

I Love the Essence of the Forest! Thank You Eric and Michel !

My first exposure to this duo and not my last...........2005-05-26

Beautiful re-arrangements of traditional African ballads with solid harmonious orchestration. This is my first exposure to Deep Forest and if what the more experienced reviewers are saying, not their best work, I can't wait to explore more. Perhaps not the best choice, but "Essence" has me wanting more of this group's work.

A mixed bag of surprises.......2004-08-14

Deep Forest's greatest hits collection finally sees a stateside release, albeit with a drastically different tracklisting to its import counterparts. While imports versions tend to be better in this case neither version is truly satisfactory. The US release offers Deep Forest's biggests hits "sweet lullaby" (in a slightly remixed form) and "marta's song" as well smart choices like "ekue ekue" and "twosome." These songs really showcase the act's ability create modern vocal pop songs from ethnic chants and old folk songs. The US collection sadly omits the duo's collaboration with Peter Gabriel on "while the earth sleeps." Neither domestic nor import release give a nod to "Pacifique" - the soundtrack they scored. The US tracklisting works well despite its noticeable omissions. It does try to make up with the inclusion of the Deep forest remix of "undecided" for artist Youssou N'dour. If you are a casual fan of deep forest or relaxing world music this is a great hits package. For fans of the group this album may be a huge disappointment and it may be worth seeking out one of the 2 import versions that exists.

Excelent new 6 tracks.......2004-08-03

I got this CD because it was playing in the CD store.
Deep Forest I reconized, even that the track Desert Walk sound diffrent, better than the released in World Mix. For me, now Desert Walk 2004 and Night Bird 2004 should be singles of this album, they are so good songs.
Sweet Lullaby 2204 is excellent. Ana Torroja sounds good in Sweet Lullaby 2003. The remixes of Yuki Song and Will You be Ready sound better than in music detected. I LOVE THIS ITEM AND I AM WAITING FOR THE DVD OF THE VIDEOS OF DEEP FOREST, THE BEST IN THE MUSIC IN THE TELEVISION

Pretty good.......2006-01-13

Another enjoyable album from Deep Forest. Makes a great gift!

International richness.......2005-03-17

French, African, Peru, Asia, it all melts together so deliciously here. One thing I loved about the CD insert was more than passing mention of the artists. Love the South African voices which remind me a lot of the Ladysmith Black Mambazo singers from Paul Simons Graceland album.

Something Deep Forest does that is so rare and magical is use the human voice and unique instruments in a wonderful, rich and bountiful way.Deep Weather is a song that as I close my eyes I am reminded of almost rhythmic conversations I have heard on the beaches of Belize, Brazil or even Hawaii. And the harmonica or accordion used in the piece make it rustic as well.

My family laughed when I said that Comparsa started out reminding me of some Swiss dancers and quickly bounced over to some Cossack dancers and then Argentina. Talk about a world tour of dance.

Tres Maria the CD cover notes is dedicated to Ochun, Pantheon's divinity Yoruba, God of sweet waters, Queen of Beauty and Love, Master of Gold. Have read that this is where the custom of tossing a coin in a fountain or water source came from. Anyway the song is as sensual as she is said to have been.

Radio Belize has some awesome Spanish guitar work, and electronic vocals that are utterly fun to listen to. This whole CD is one I put on when I want to get alot done during the day. Not only is the music happy and well tempered but one cannot help but smile when listening to the CD. Also love what appears to be either alto or bass saxophone.

La lune se bat avec les etoiles... sounds a bit like some of what Yanni has on his Tribute CD. Which like his CD's done from the Taj Mahal, Forbidden City and Greece has such international flavours.

Forest Power has the rich and varied voices and flavours of Deep Forests Boheme CD.

Media Luna has a very Peruvian sound in my opinion. Even though the CD insert says its more 'Arab and Andalusian music meet in the world mix'. But listen closely and there it is. That beautiful Arabic voice.

All I know is I love it!!!

Deep Forest Rocks !!!!!.......2004-12-31

Deep Forest is one of the rare music groups which blend world music in a harmonious and coherent style. Their tracks stretch from Macedonia to Solomon Islands and from Hungary to Mongolia. It is really a soothing experience to listen to Deep Forest.

Wonderfully light.......2003-01-29

Deep Forest's third CD called Comparsa is wonderfully light and highly spiritual. As usual in their music, there is an element of folk music from different continents - this one represents some tribal sounds again. It is happy, stunning. My four-year-old daughter adores it. Great dancing tunes on top of dramatic, meditative scores. Highly recommended!

their best, IMHO.......2002-08-31

I like the first CD, Deep Forest, and I *Really* like this one. It really does justice to the World Music idea by incorporating folk sounds into a very upbeat sound.

What helps is the influence of the folk sounds adds naturally to the dance flavor of the CD, rather than being forced.

This was one of those few CDs that I put on "Repeat All" and listened to non-stop for several days after I got it.

Album Description

Rediscover the magic - Become filled with exquisite beauty as you journey into a mystical land of dreams. This new collaboration from bestselling composer Gary Stadler (Fairy HeartMagic) and Australian vocalist Wendy Rule leads you through landscapes of forest, deep into the heart of nature. Those who are familiar with Gary's previous albums will recognize the soulful beauty of his piano based soundscapes. To this Gary now adds artful Cello, Uilleann Pipes, and classical guitar. Combine that with the magical voice and gentle guitar of Australian singer/songwriter Wendy Rule and the lovely Celtic harp of Lisa Lynne, and the result is absolutely breathtaking. While their music can be compared to Enya or Loreena Mckennitt, they have crafted their own special style. Come along with them on this serene and spellbinding journey, as images of the ancient Celtic Faerie realm come alive once more and touch you with enchantment.

Disappointed.......2006-08-29

I was hoping for more of an ethereal sound. The CD isn't bad, just not what I expected.

Spellbinding.......2006-02-26

I absolutely LOVE this album. It is magical, spellbinding, and very calming. My grandson, age 6, also loves the CD. It is his and my favorite CD, and we play it often.

The fairies are closer than ever now.......2005-03-18

Beautiful, magical album that really sends my consciousness to dance with fairies and gets me dreaming of living in a green woods with lovely people around. For the one who was blaming the album I would say that you yourself are a freak, because your senses are so dull that you can't feel this magic anymore. And if you ask enlightened people, they say that fairies exist, but only in the right side of a brain... So only your feminine, intuitive part can see the fairies, and ghosts and other spirits that co-exist in another dimension parallel to our own. Small children can also see them. But if you live too much in your head you can't feel any of these things...
The artists in this records sure have experienced themselves and they share it in such a beautiful way that brings tears of gratitude to my eyes. So maximum respect to them!

Brilliant........2005-01-24

This is the most "Gothic" or "dark" sounding album of Stadler's. I'm not familliar with Rule's other work, but this disk is my favourite of the Faerie series. It's absolutely gorgeous, with transcendental musick and divine near-operetic aethereal vocals atop. She does sound like a Fae queen. I would recommend this to anyone who embraces the more dark side of Fae; someone big on introspection and meditation. This is a great release.. thanks you guys for such a gift.

sounds of japan.......2007-01-13

being a lover of good music i was surprised to see this cd. i listened to some of the selections and decided this was an excellent piece for my parents. being of japanese descent i am always looking for music from japan to enhance my cultural appreciation. my parents truly love this cd.

Beautyful relaxing CD.......2006-03-16

I used this cd while massaging patients in a local hospital. Everyone just loved it.I bought extra for family. Just Great!

The Enchanted Forest: Melodies of Japan.......2005-10-22

I would not rate this the very best James Galway CD but it does contain the best song I have heard him play. Cut #3, Nakasendo (The Old Road) is worth the price of the CD alone. While Hietsuki Bushi (Love Song) and Song of the Deep Forest are also excellent, I never tire of listening to The Old Road. Hiro Fujikake on synthesizers combined with the flute of James Galway makes this a very pleasing collection of music.

a posie placed on a political border.......2002-05-19

I don't DISLIKE this cd, but really it is a poor interpretation of Japanese flute music. It sounds more like an uninspired Enya clone than traditional Japanese music. No matter how many times I listened to it, it never could really interest me enough to be more of my life than another cd in my scrapped CD's pile.

a touch of the irish.......2002-05-11

no need to compare rampal to galway,, two masters here, and on this cd, galway continues to demonstrate his tremendous talent and world wide appeal. without rampal , he is now the worlds greatest flautist , period

We never expected a live album from Deep Forest, the two French keyboardists (Eric Monquet and Michel Sanchez) whose stylishly peculiar music (ambient meets dance meets Pygmy vocalese) is a laboratory-like concoction of clever sampling, synthesizers, and studio savvy. Sanchez, in fact, confesses to stage fright. Yet here we find the two lads on a Tokyo stage in 1998, accompanied by four musicians and three singers, breathing life--at times, even fire--into their digitally spliced global village. It's a different sound for the group, and mostly an invigorating one. The real-time human element permeating Made in Japan infuses DF's carefully crafted atmospheres with an energizing vitality and sense of spontaneity. Any absence of studio sophistication in Deep Forest's live sound is compensated for by the music's celebratory mood and the concert's interactive, transcultural, communal environment. This serves to reinforce an ongoing subtext in Deep Forest's aesthetic--the desire to draw a musical thread through the mystical pursuits of far-flung cultures. Highlights: the beguiling grooves of "Bohemian Ballet," the mysterious propulsion of "Café Europa," and the groove-fueled choir that drives "Forest Power." --Terry Wood

Escape into Ethnic Fusion.......2006-12-01

Deep Forest has tribal textures with soothing melodious moments and earthy comfort. This music feels like a home for your soul. "Deep Forest" can at times melt cultures into a musical paradise, which gives this a high multicultural appeal. If you love world music, this would make a nice addition to your collection.

~The Rebecca Review

Great live album, Fantastic Deep Forest Album.......2006-02-18

Very well recorded with some brilliant performances all around. I did not know what to expect initially, since the DF sound seems to be primarily sample based, sequenced and synthetic. The vocal performances are breathtaking. Also, it never hurts to have a terrific kit drummer on hand. The song arrangements are done well and it turns out that the music lends itself particularly well to live performances.
Apparently, there are people who do not understand that bands do tend to perform live at times - and when they do, they generally perform songs in their personal repertoire. That there are songs from other Deep Forest albums here should not come as a big surprise. The surprising part is how much energy is infused into their music as the result of performing live. It's some big noise. There is plenty of applause and shouting as there should be - one of the best parts about live performances is hearing the crowd's reaction to the music as it is taking place. That's why we have audience mics running into the board.
Anyhow, this my personal favorite from Deep Forest. The studio stuff is brilliant, but sounds quantized next to this album with its live vocalists and the band grooving to a smoking kit drummmer. Enjoy and bear in mind that it hasn't been all that long that human beings have been able to go back and listen to a performance that occurred in the past.

Buy Boheme instead.......2005-10-14

I was very disappointed with this album! Over half of the songs are repeats from the Boheme album. Wish I had paid more attention to the list of songs before I bought it... Oh well...

The best live CD I've ever heard.......2002-09-01

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.

A Kickin' Surprise! (how does Mouquet play that vocoder?).......2001-05-08

I gobbled up DF's first CD, then leisurely digested "Boheme," adn then, on a whim, I picked this one up about six months ago for a sonic snack.

I'm still eating! For a synelectronica/world-beat duo, Mouquet and Sanchez and company can really put on a show. Their back-up musicians and singers make the songs break out of their electronic shell and onto a live stage. Particularly strong are the performances of "Ekue Ekue," "Forest Hymn," and "Hunting." A pleasant surprise from an esoteric band.

Album Description

Debut album from this hotly-tipped Irish songwriter, who records romantic indie songs with a variety of household objects and instruments like cheese graters, wardrobe doors, pianos, harps, brass, strings and an old gramophone. Influences come from artists like Eliott Smith, The Magnetic Fields, Dresden Dolls, early Van Morrison, Vaudeville Theatre and Tom Waits. Needless to say, Duke isn't a performer easily pigeon-holed. 12 tracks featuring the single 'Last Night I Nearly Died'. V2. 2006.

Album Details

2006 Issued Sophomore Album from Belfast's Peter Wilson, an Artist with a Keen Knack for Writing Melodies and Intricate Arrangements that Immediately Cling to Your Brain and Won't Let Go! He is also Blessed with the Pipes to Deliver Each Song with Passion and an Openess that is Rare in the Pop Music of the Nils. Though He Professes to Just Be Feeling it as He Goes Along, It's Just Readily Apparent that He is in Full Control of his Many Natural Gifts and this Album is Most Assuredly a Contender for Best of the Year....and One You Won't Soon Forget.

Great Pop with a Twist.......2007-06-04

Originally saw Duke Special on the Later with Jools Holland show from the BBC. His beautiful performance of No Cover Up caught my attention and made me realize I must have this CD. From the first listening, I can honestly say there is not one bad song. Great pop craftsmanship with interesting instrument choices. Now he needs to get USA distribution with a tour and I am sure he will enjoy much success here. Buy This! You will not be dissapointed.

Blow, man, blow . . ........2007-02-17

Do we like our winds and strings, folks??

DEEP FOREST is a remarkable effort from the Duke . . . A classic in the making and one of the best releases of '06.

Sparkling piano, heavy bass, and odd percussion blend so sweetly with Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Tuba and the like.

Big sound and big emotions . . . Gorgeous songcraft!

Truly a special affair . . .

Special Indeed.......2006-11-15

Duke Special is an Irish Singer-Songwriter with a difference. He comes with an almost Vaudaville-like flavour to song structure..Songs like 'Last Night I Almost Died' are pure piano-pop, whilst 'Portrait', 'Slip of a Girl' and 'Brixton Leaves' are beautiful carnival-like airs of melancholy..Instruments used include pots and pans and everything but the kitchen sink, which add to it's uniqueness and rich flavour...But the songs are great and the playing impeccable...If you are open-minded and love a 'good song'...buy this album...Enjoy
