My short review: TELL THOSE DAMN BULGARIANS TO SHUT UP! Yabble yabble yabble. This album has some of the most annoying singing I've ever heard. The only relief is when they bring back the pygmies for a short period on one track. I've been a big fan of the Bulgarian Women's Choir for a long time, but the Deep Forest guys must have been bothering the wrong people on "Boheme" because they only succeed in making music that literally causes you to cringe. I believe that the only sample subjects they were able to find in the region were either vagrants, senior citizens, and/or victims of severe indigestion. 1/10 Track in the spotlight: "Ya Ya Ya Ya" with some geezer screaming "Yayayayayaya" for what seems like an eternity. Suggestion for Deep Forest III: Sample streetwalkers and loonies from the good ol' US of A. Construct a song centered around a "Coca chiva, what u want?" sample.
