Various Artists - Power of Flower (compiled by Lemongrass)
If you take a look at Roland Voss´ career it´s no surprise
at all that he has such a diversified approach when it comes
to music. In the mid 1970s Roland became a trained drummer
playing in Jazz bands, experimenting with Free Jazz, Funk
and Jazzrock. But soon he was fascinated by styles such as
New Wave, Hip Hop or Jungle while he was producing music for
TV-ads as well as working on multimedia projects. In the
year 1997 the first Lemongrass track saw the light of day,
making Lemongrass well known and respected nearly overnight.
Soon countless releases on high profile imprints such as
Mole Listening Pearls followed and the last decade saw
Lemongrass taking both critics as well as listeners by storm.
Now Lemongrass is presenting a unique mix-CD, taking us on a
wonderful and varied journey through his musical thoughts.
Like his own productions this CD is far away from being
trivial. It is not focusing on obvious, foreseeable effects
– his music is going far below the evident surface, touching
deeper feelings, giving small but meaningful hints to our
soul. For Lemongrass it´s not about short lived hypes, for
him it´s much more about creating a timeless oeuvre with
this little but important balance between the aesthetic
approach and the feel-good factor. His music is always
touching our senses, spreading sensuousness.
So he does with this mix featuring a hand-picked band of
artists, putting them into a well balanced context, covering
nearly all different feelings. For this emotional journey he
has selected the likes of Nova Ritmo, Climatic, Puch, The
Lushlife Project, Hungary´s social critics Anima Sound
System, Bazille Noire, Antennasia, Toma, Amun with their
incomparable atmospheric “Discovering Your Smile”, Ohm-G who
are getting us out of our everyday life with their lovely
“Island Dream”, Sutramaka, Monodeluxe and lust but not least
Lemongrass´ own lovely “The time flight”. All these
wonderful pieces of music are convincing with their
different colours, with their soul and with the love to
details that is living under their bright surface – simply
balsam for your soul! |
