release notes:
Lots of exciting things are going on in the global Ambient
and Electronic Listening scene these days. In an unbiased
manner, musical worlds approach each other, that seemed
almost incompatible for a long time. Whether acoustic music,
contemporary classical music or hip-hop - such styles join a
boundless melange to something new, which has an high
artistic value, and is gaining new fans in a rapid pace.
Roland Voss aka "Lemongrass" is part of this creative
stream. Over many years, a distinctive "Lemongrass" sound
has been developed in an essential process of maturation.
Culminating now with a new album release called "Mémoires".
Already the opener, "Journal Intime" is a wonderful
testimony for the derived stylistic fruition. On a
creaky-minimal rhythm enfold heart warming, ethereal sound
images, peaking in the middle part by the addition of a
stunning piano motif. Fine-tuned piano sounds are
recurrently defining elements in the further course of the
album. In "Liaison", a typical "Lemongrass" bassline groove
builds to an airy, buttery soft daydreamer. "Sacred Dreams"
fascinates with a deep piano-loop and heavenly backing
vocals in harmony with a playful scratchy glitch-hop rhythm.
Highlight here is the brief interlude of a cool, distorted
guitar. The title of the subsequent "I'm stellar" is almost
programmatic for the spiritual flow of the album. Carefully
produced in detail, "I'm stellar" is led by a simple guitar
melody, on which the track harmoniously unfolds.
With "Oiseau de Paradis" Roland Voss loosens up his journey
with a trip to Mediterranean regions. Sweet summery
harmonies awaken anticipation for the warm and
light-coloured time of the year. With "Summer fields", we
remain a little longer in the sunshine. Wonderfully
laid-back, the track grooves along, based on subtle hip-hop
elements. Don't be surprised if your head starts nodding on
its own, and a broad smile appears on your face. The album
continues with some best of lounge music. "Bossa del mar"
impresses with stunning Hispanic vocals, inviting the
listener to the next Ibiza beach party. Also "Poetry without
words" is a piece of evidence for the "Lemongrass" talent,
to produce finest Lounge Couture. A repetitive loop of
various strings enriches the song with a sunny 70's appeal.
Subsequently "Heartbreaker" takes the album back to a deeper
sound cosmos. Just like "I'm stellar", this title is a
co-production with Roland's brother Daniel Voss. Truly, the
song is a sleek heartbreaker, in advance legitimately chosen
by the audience as a highlight on DJ Nartak's "Klassik
Lounge Nightflight Vol.06" compilation.
A little more deeper, we travel with "Moment de
conscience". A feeling of atmospheric wideness allows us to
slide into the endless open space. We enjoy a timeless
moment of deep relaxation and inner silence. Right there we
get picked up by "Tropical Nights". A delicate acoustic
guitar motif and heavenly chantings are framed by tropical
night sounds. The following title is a tribute to the
legendary Japanese "Shinkansen" high-speed trains. A
chill-out (train) ride at its best, led by an elegant broken
beat, which floats on melodic strings. In the background we
can hear sounds of the puffing "Shinkansen" monstrosities.
"Love is the answer" is the ideal quote to play the final
chord of the album. Positive tuned string-arrangements
ensure a safe, well-guarded journey home.
In a relaxed and stylish manner, "Mémoires" is a real
milestone. With its playful and homogeneous aura, the album
sounds as a unified whole. Shaped by a bewitching depth,
"Mémoires" convinces on a musical top level. At the same
time, it provides the impressive evidence, that Roland Voss
is rightly considered as one of the most famous composers
and producers in the scene.
