Unlike most DJs, the German duo of Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones actually write some of their own music. Hence this impressive album, the duo's fourth, which consists almost entirely of original compositions. Would that it also consisted almost entirely of original beats, but alas, most everything thumps along in predictable Euro-dance fashion, with the exception of the wonderfully funky and breakbeat-based title track. What redeems the sameness of the beats, though, is the shifting array of fine vocalists, the lush atmospheres, and the unabashedly sweet melodies that dominate the album. More impressively, the singers even make it possible to overlook the songs' giddily horrible lyrics ("Like a ghost that came from an old beginning/You heated up a freezing destiny," etc.)…

Trance duo Blank & Jones recruit pianist Marcus Loeber in these pensive works to guide in rest and reflection. “Le Grand Bleu” has all the hallmarks of a great pop song—stirring melodies and strong accompaniment—and its chilled tempo makes it perfect for relaxing at the end of a long day.
