In the wake of his stimulating download EP äAmbient Landô which surprised as the
first Lemongrass ambient release ever, Roland Voss did some homework to drop his
first ambient album. And he did so with diligence, inspiration and dedication.
As was the vibe on the EP which the basis of the 12 album tracks is taken from,
the overall impression is of some dreamlike atmosphere, where gravity has ceased
to exist and weight has lost its meaning. Extended to full album length,
Lemongrass creates an artfully induced state of relaxation and concentration in
which deeper parts of the mind become accessible and respond with joy. No beats
but a pleasing breeze makes you explore the wonders of your inner self.
The opening track äStar Childô calls for universal love and takes the listener
on a journey to acknowledge his inner strength and positive energy. We are all
star children ! The gentle keys of äPolar Nightsô take you into endless space,
the purity of which is best compared by ice crystals and a flawless and innocent
white. äEclipse of the Sunô is only strings and marks a break in time when you
hold your breath and everything stands still. Then, slight variations of the
sound pattern lead the way for peaceful introspection. äCoral Reefô wraps you up
in soothing warmth. The tender strings are enhanced by bubbling sounds, like
fresh oxygen in the turquoise calmness of the sea.
After that, itÆs time to move on. äVoyagerô has a floating vibe, a feeling of
seeing the beauty of the world passing before your inner eye in the most
breathtaking samples. Or is it you in space, admiring the blue planet earth?
äMoonwalkô is of such reconciliating quality that it opens up the heart and
firmly plants a feeling of profound gratitude. äInner Worldsô is the track which
probably most refers to the album title. Attentive listening reveals some
disturbing underlying sounds and a train-like movement pushing you on. Above
these inner currents is a redeeming hypnotic sound pattern calling for
tranquility. One of the albumÆs finest moment appears with the opening chords
and gently stroked cymbals of äWater Peopleô. This track is so amazingly
beautiful that it feels like colourful flowers popping up everywhere around you.
Pling, pling, there are some more. The concluding äLake of Lavaô strikes a more
energetic chord, plucking vibrant sounds and sending them drip-dropping into the
depth of the universal consciousness.
The album which also includes the tracks äSilent Dreamô, äEvolutionô and äSummer
Scentô is so diligently arranged and beautifully crafted that it leaves you with
a unique feeling of harmony and serenity. A truly hypnotic experience baring
your soulÆs most positive energy to yourself.
