The new ôPearl Diverö 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 LumiΦre
Obscure he went his way through diverse musical styles like DrumÆnÆBass, 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
ôDrumatic Universeö 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 (ôFleure Solaireö, ôIkabanaö, ôFilmothΦqueö, ôPour LÆAmourö)
to a best-of-album called ôBeach Affairsö. 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 ôLounge Du Soleilö
and ôLemongrass Gardenö.
But now it is time to have a closer look the collection of ôPearl Diverö.
Starting with Kevin YostÆs breezy äOtherside Of The World Remixô of his own
track ôHabla Mi Coraz≤nö 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,
Dadamnphreaknoizphunk, 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 ôLose Youö 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 LotionÆs
ôArabesqueö 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.
