The Resume

    Band consists of French keyboardists and programmers Eric Mouquet and Michael Sanchez
    Music is a mix of native vocals and pigmy chants with modern dance and techno music to create a unique sound.
    Recorded the albums 'Deep Forest,' 'Boheme,' 'Comparsa,' 'Made In Japan,' 'Pacifique' and 'Music Detected'
    Had a hit with 'Sweet Lullaby'
    Recorded the song 'While The Earth Sleeps' with Peter Gabriel

Why they might be annoying:

    Their name sounds like it could have easily come from a porno movie.
    The inspiration for the band came as fluke after they sampled native records they had purchased while in Africa.
    While the band mixes and adds electronic music, the real credit for the music should go to the unique vocalists from such diverse places as the central African rain forest, Mongolia and India.
    They have been accused of plagiarism.
    They are also accused of ripping off the sound of Enigma.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They make music from diverse locales accessible to the general public.
    The music video for 'Sweet Lullaby' was nominated for an MTV Video Award.
    They won a Grammy for their album 'Boheme.'
    They have a devoted fan following.
