Good

I loved listening to the album even though there were a few tracks that were a little off but all in all worth listening to

Do Yourself a Favor

Go buy the original first Deep Forest-that album works as a whole far better than as part of a disjointed (and some oddly tweaked)tracks on a best of album.Boeheme,available as an album here on e-mu has some good tracks but after that I lost interest in this band. Unfortunately their hit song became so when featured in the lame remake of H.G. Wells Island of Dr.Moreau. Do yourself a second favor and if you have not yet,watch the 1933 film with Charles Laughton a film most Devo fans will know.

not bad

If you're into Deep Forest it's not bad. There's a couple variations of their previous releases, but overall I feel like they're getting a little too adult contemporary and it's coming across as too refined and bordering on boring.

They Say All Music Guide

With tracks from each of their first five albums, this is essentially a Deep Forest best-of, leading off with their 1993 hit “Sweet Lullaby.” Note that “Sweet Lullaby,” “Night Bird,” and “Desert Walk” are each presented in a “2004 Version,” though it’s not made clear in the packaging how these are different than the ones that had been previously released on Deep Forest albums. It’s an adequate overview of an act whose music is probably too diluted for either world music fans or electronica specialists, but whose blend of those styles together with production approaches friendly to middle-of-the-road radio has far more appeal to mainstream pop listeners than most world music or electronica. – Richie Unterberger
