"I stumbled into this one in the music store, hearing it overhead in of all places, the dance/dj section. This isn't dance/dj at all really - except for maybe the last few tracks. Audio Lotion is a group based out of Switzerland focusing on Latin vocals, styles and rythms. They're on the same label that brings Yonderboi and De-Phazz into the picture as well as the "Batucada" compilations. I really am enjoying this album. After hearing Azud de Voce on the overhead at the store, I was very intrigued to figure out who this was - and when the next few songs came across, I had to get it. As for the sound - I honestly think it is a bit "contemporary". Good, easy going instrumentation, light and delicate vocals through and through. From the second track, Azul De Voce, you get a feel for the album and the style. To me, the album and tracks remind me of a mature story in the big city... if that makes sense.The strength of this cd is definitely in the middle IMO. As Velas (the Candles) is a romantic, downtempo track that flows perfectly into el Insecto, a lazy, sleepy summer time track. Then it's onto a nice, upbeat track in "another bossa" before kicking off into a "quaint" track, tao delicado". I recommend this cd. Good sound-quality, and tt's one that would easily fly under the radar. However it is kind of like "one of those cd's that was playing when i was in Borders Book Store" too..."

"Few albums could work equally well for relaxation, for dancing, for lovemaking, or even for background while being productive.



This, though, is one of those albums. Enjoy it."
