DEEP FOREST - SWEET LULLABY

This was the first song I heard from Deep Forest and I loved it from the moment I heard it. Singles are tricky things. Sometimes you get something that enhances the song and the experience of the music and sometimes you get a money pit. I'm not exactly sure where I am on this one. The first track is essentially the album version while the second is more of an extended mix than anything. The third track is a typical club beat from the time period. It has a house beat with some tricked out synth playing over the top. It's nothing exciting or interesting though. The 'Round The World Mix' is something differently entirely. While staying true to the basic formula of the song, the beat is written in a deep house style and is fairly straightforward. I say it's straightforward, but it's also not unpleasant to listen to. Of the mixes, this is the best. The final track is just some odd trance synth sounds played over a deep drum beat with snatches of the song intermixed. It's interesting in itself, though hardly an attention stealer.

Overall, none of these mixes really do justice to the original song which is easily one of the most enjoyable pieces of music written. It's a lovely number. Check it out if you want, but the mixes are probably better downloaded than purchased on this format. My final word: NICE.
