My apologies-- I misunderstood you. (Bad Rob! No donut! :-) Although I love both groups, I agree with your statement that "Deep Forest" is not as strong as "MCMXC a.D." For one thing, "Deep Forest" is way too repeti- tive ("White Whisper" is especially guilty of this.) For another, "Deep Forest" is not as "coherent" as "MCMXC a.D." Whereas the latter is essentially one extended song, the former hops all over the mood spectrum. This makes it more difficult to immerse oneself in the album. (Of course, the flip side of this is that "Deep Forest" has more variety, mood- wise, than "MCMXC a.D.")

Long as I'm here... can anybody recommend other groups in the same vein as Enigma or Deep Forest? Rob Berry
