Product Description
You Are Here
Description
Uman (pronounced "yoo-mahn") make music for both traveling and digging into one's surroundings, be it "Somewhere on Earth," "In the Garden of Mist," "The Way to Peace," or "On the Other Side." With You Are Here, French brother-sister duo Didier and Danielle Jean have expanded on their ambient worldbeat, adding musicians on piano and brass to Danielle's largely wordless, textured vocals and Didier's keyboard and samples. They have moved beyond 1997's Purple Passage as well, painting with a more colorful palate of styles, including bits of spoken word, jazz piano, brass, electronic beats, ethnic rhythms, and nature sounds, all while embodying a distinctly European sophistication. Fans of Lisa Gerrard and Cocteau Twins will be inspired by Uman's soundscape and will appreciate the band's preference for voyage over arrival. --Paige La Grone

4 of 5 stars  Ambient Potpourri
Thursday, December 28, 2000
A varied collection of ambient. A little uneven in terms of quality of tracks but more highlights than low points. Very listenable! Worth paying for.

3 of 5 stars  Mixed
Wednesday, October 04, 2000
The opening track "Somewhere On Earth" is impressive, but it starts to go downhill from there until track 11, "People Of Cloud Nine", which is even more impressive with her sophistocated vocaling and instrumentation. In fact, this track seems particularly uncharacteristic of the rest of the cd due to its quality nature. It blows the rest of the cd away, with the exception of the first track. Overall the cd is okay, but the tune "I'm Only Human" (not to be confused with the Human League song) is rather hoaky with the man and woman talking back and forth to each other.

5 of 5 stars  A great soundtrack for living and working
Thursday, September 14, 2000
Uman was one of those groups I sampled on my wanderings around the "New Age" section of this site. I liked what I heard, and got the disk. And every time I play it, I like it even better. Depending on where I play it (car, phones, home) it displays different characters. I especially like playing it at work- it's one of the few discs that all my colleagues enjoy! Truly an eclectic sound. Get it!

4 of 5 stars  Great New Age
Monday, February 14, 2000
Uman definitely know how to produce good New Age. Their melodies are amazing, and that French rap--wonderful! Filled with ambient strokes of soothing instrumentation, You Are Here makes its mark upon the world of New Age.

5 of 5 stars  Tribal/new age at it's best
Tuesday, October 12, 1999
Uman is one the most ecclectic groups out today, with their sound compiled of tribal, electronic, and worldly landscapes that bring the listener to an entirely new place. Their progressive style and experimental pieces parallel the brilliance of such groups as Dead Can Dance, Vas, Cocteau Twins.
