| j7 (Earth's largest mountain) | Posted: Dec 05, 2009 - 21:39 All of this negative stuff about this cat's vocals coming from western "critics" is a joke. |

| Peyote (heaven) | Posted: Nov 04, 2009 - 12:20 Have enjoyed Youssou N'Dour for 20 years ..... got turned onto him when visiting The Gambia. Great beat, I can picture the African dancers in my mind :) |

| hellokitty98 | Posted: Sep 02, 2009 - 10:55 it's OK. i don't love it though.  |
| moon13 | Posted: Aug 01, 2009 - 22:10 god awful ....I have removed my headphones, I will put them back on in 5 min. with any luck this song cant possibly be that long |

| Kittee (NC- Dreaming of the Mountains) | Posted: Oct 21, 2008 - 08:26 Meh...it's ok. |

I concur. Youssou ruins all his music the second he opens his mouth. |
| xkolibuul (Chuckanut sandstone) | Posted: Apr 15, 2008 - 00:57 What's the issue, when PG is clearly backing up Youssou's lead on this song? I don't think anyone is assuming PG is essential to this song. Au contraire, he's a perfectly nice accent. This collaboration gets my vote. Doesn't quite measure up to Shaking the Tree, but then again not much does. MojoJojo wrote: I'm a PG fan, but I have to say Youssou really does not need Peter to make this song work. No slight to Mr. Gabriel, it's just that this song seems like it would stand up quite well on its own. |

This dream = Listerine? Methinks you need to listen to a higher bitrate stream and/or with better speakers/headphones? Neil |

You may have a point there. This song is only hurt by PG's vocals. Otherwise it would be very good. |
| skybreakers (Amsterdam, Holland) | Posted: Jun 16, 2007 - 04:47 One of the good sounds coming from Dakar. |

Snark. Good one! I think it's a beautiful song in spite of the "Listerine" issue. |

To each their own ... but when i hear this, I hear the layers of drums, multiple vocal layers & various other instruments. This guy is HUGE in Senegal, not that haters would know, but go to Dakkar and ask around. |
