When it comes to stylish electronica, French duos have risen to the top. Deep Forest works the ethno-techno World Beat angle. (jeffw@smoe.org)

Comments:
I like it much more than their first, but I doubt it will do as well. Less danceable, more accordions, but some great vocals by Márta Sebestyéen. Being heralded as "Deep Forest go to Transylvania". (jjhanson@att.net)
