Although different from "World Clique" and "Infinity Within", "Dewdrops In The Garden" is a solid album. Some collaborators like Bootsy Collins, the Horny Horns (Maceo Parker & Fred Wesley), Sheila Slappy, Sahirah Moore are not on this opus, and Towa Tei was on the verge of departure at this point. But the empty place is filled with some other talents: DJ On-E (Ani) brings a touch of Techno on some tracks ("River Of Freedom", "Music Selector Is The Soul Reflector", "Sampladelic", "DMT"...), Kenny Dope and Louie Vega are adding a touch of class with "Bittersweet Loving" (sadly unreleased). The samples are effective in general ("Apple Juice Kissing", "Stay In Bed, Forget The Rest", "Party Happening People"...). Unfortunately, "Dewdrops In The Garden" was the last Deee-Lite album. Massively inspired with the band's use of Pyotl (magic mushroom) amongst other substances.

This was on the massive repeat, as well as Infinity Within, when that one was released.
I believe Deee-Lite suffered from a lack of the right type of market to thrive.
It seemed as if the audience from the corporate was supposed to be mass audience, but it probably shouldn't have been, in a world of Wal-Marts, these fine people had the independent, quality super-shop.

This is a truly beautiful record . Dee-Lite at the peak of their creativity . iIremember playing this in the hot summer of 1994 (way before listening to techno) ,and i really loved this one.It got lost shortly after .
Underrated ,yes . that's true !

It is just staright up danceable. Club music that is positive and creative and doesn't hold to any formula. This CD is very underrated, it is funky techno, house, and hip-hop rolled into one big ole' raver good time. They were pioneers of electronic dance-pop. Or at least they deservedly sold a decent amount of records.
This album is well produced and arranged. It's been in storage for too many years; I've gotta pull it out and give it another spin.
