3.0 out of 5 stars Breton music goes techno, January 19, 2000

This review is from: World Mix Album (Audio CD)

Eric Mouquet, the producer of this recording, has apparently taken various world music styles and added techno-pop features to produce what he calls a "World Mix" album. On this recording, he visits Brittany, the celtic nation located in the Northwest coast of France. The recording features some well-known traditional Breton pieces: Tri Martolod, La Jument de Mishao, and Ti Eliz Iza. It also features the participation of some of Brittany's best-known musicians: Tri Yann, Denez Prigent, and Manu Lann Huel. The traditional Breton pieces are recorded, sampled, overdubbed and who-knows-what-else. The result is an enjoyable take on traditional music, most definitely not for the purist. The language is French and Breton, the latter being a now-revived, once nearly-extinct language spoken in Brittany and related to Welsh. If you like this recording, try listening to any of Tri Yann's recent recordings, including their two live recordings. For a really fine survey of all that is contemporary Breton music, try the recent live release entitled "Bretagnes," on SonyMusic/France.

4.0 out of 5 stars cool world dance mix, November 30, 1999

By 

EL GREVO "Not a Top 40 fan" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: World Mix Album (Audio CD)

For those that enjoy Celtic/dance/worldbeat music, this is a very fun CD. The artist comes from the Brittany region of France, and sings in French and Breton (a gaelic language). Produced by one of the guys behind Deep Forest. The tune "Kokerikero" is absolutely one of my favorites. If you are a fan of Clannad, Enya, Deep Forest, Adiemus, Era, Colour Of Memory, Sacred Spirits, Scripture, Vangelis, Pure Moods, etc., then you will enjoy this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars french/celtic folksongs with good beat and very cool, July 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: World Mix Album (Audio CD)

I became interested in this album because I am a Deep Forest fan and in general like unusual singing and mind-bending international folk songs. As compared with other "Deep Forest"-type albums (e.g. Deep ForestI, Deep Forest II and "Comparsa", also "Pangea") this album is less funky and danceable, more akin to Enya or other Celtic/New Age types. It's great to listen to in the car or just walking around the house doing housework. It has tracks in french, but also some other language that I'm not familiar with--possibly an eastern european language like hungarian or something. But the point is, it's all wholesome and my 10 and 5 year old children love it and sing along. Very hip, though, and I like it too.
