4.0 out of 5 stars Quite enjoyable ... but ... unique?, June 6, 2000

This review is from: One World One People (Audio CD)

I've had the chance to listen to this cd several times where I work and no doubt, it's garned alot of reaction.

However, when people continually ask me "Is this Enigma?" or "Is this Deep Forest?" or "Is this B-tribe?" depending on what track is playing as it borrows samples from each of the above mentioned artists, I can't imagine anyone calling this "original".

There was at least one sample from every popular world/ambient act around somewhere on this album - therefore each track sounded like someone else. Spoken female voices, pygmies, monks, dance grooves and even some flamenco guitars - yes, they're all on here!

Despite the fact that this album is indeed very cliche', it's quite enjoyable on the whole and I've heard far worse attempts at this style of music. I can certainly guarantee that you won't get bored listening to it so because this is one of the better albums of this genre (I mean after all, I do like it better than say Era) I'll go ahead and give it 4 stars.

There really isn't much else to say about this album, because there isn't anything on here that hasn't already been done before. So basically, if you like Enigma, Waterbone, Deep Forest and B-tribe this should be right up your alley.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD!!!!, August 31, 2000

Love all the tracks, very happy and upbeat music. Also, I like the fact that they donate One-third of the artist royalties from the CD's sales to 'CARE' to help feed the hungry children throughout the world.
