专辑简介
The new “Pearl Diver” continues with compiling the biggest and most shiny pearls of lounge music on CD.This time Lemongrass dived into the clear blue sea to pick up an outstanding collection of pearls.
Lemongrass alias Roland Voss educated himself in music in three decades. After playing drums in rock bands, funk groups and jazz ensembles during the seventies he explored the possibilities of electronic instruments in the eighties.
Before signing at Mole Listening Pearls in 1999 for his first album Lumière Obscure he went his way through diverse musical styles like Drum’n’Bass, Lounge, Jazz, Trip Hop, Jungle, Hip Hop and Ambient to figure out where he could find his place in the electronic music landscape and released his very first album “Drumatic Universe” on Incoming!.
Until now he has released more than ten Lemongrass albums on Mole Listening Pearls and made his timeless soundart to an institution in lounge music. In 2008 he summarized the best tracks of the late Lemongrass albums (“Fleure Solaire”, “Ikabana”, “Filmothèque”, “Pour L’Amour”) to a best-of-album called “Beach Affairs”. In 2005 he founded his own label Lemongrassmusic with his younger brother where he created his own platform to support new artists and to start his own compilation series “Lounge Du Soleil” and “Lemongrass Garden”.
But now it is time to have a closer look the collection of “Pearl Diver”.
Starting with Kevin Yost’s breezy ?Otherside Of The World Remix“ of his own track “Habla Mi Corazón” the collection takes off with some jazzy und funky house rhythms in the tracks of Dr. Girlfriend and Tafubar. Then a moody and smoky phase of jazz-infected downbeat tracks take place. Miss Kay Dee, I Am Sam, Dadamnphreakphunknoiz, Northbound, Banda Dalai Lam and the Weathertunes create an erotic atmosphere with dirty basslines and beautiful voices. Now a phase of very deep ambient tracks begins with lifting up the emotions with the tracks of Eskadet, Rencause and nor elle. Lemongrass finishes this with his Deep House Mix of “Lose You” by Jet Tricks feat. Ade Funk & Faye Houston.
Finally the compilation leads out with very warm downbeats of ielo, Karen Gibson Roc, Faro, Five Seasons and arrives at the highlight of the record: Audio Lotion’s “Arabesque” where melancholic spanish guitars are expressing the hope and romance of the lonesome.
With this beautiful collection of laid-back tracks Lemongrass expresses the wishfulness to the warm months and invites his audience, to open up the mind to the time.
