Deep Forest emerged in as a unique phenomenon in the '90s, employing the ambient musical techniques established in the '70s and '80s, but with an added twist. Using natural sounds and souped-up technology to create something of a world-music/ambient/techno fusion, Deep Forest captured the imagination and ears of millions of listeners. COMPARSA represents not a departure so much as a strengthening of position. Deep Forest finds those elements of their sound that speak most directly to the listener and expands on them to fine effect. Fans of their music will be slightly surprised at some of the new timbres and rhythms on COMPARSA, but they will certainly not come away dissapointed.
