Album DescriptionAnother Audio Lotion record can only mean sheer delight. Each one of their four album releases had the press plunder their carefully locked treasure chest of superlatives: "The perfect lounge sound", "Music as essential for your daily needs as eating and drinking", "Indispensable for body and soul". Music that sweeps up a wave of adjectives from the journalist's heart: "refreshing", "pleasurable", "relaxing", "sensual", or even "sexy". And as the icing on the cake, almost as if to be knighted, the music of Audio Lotion made its entry into the queen of all lifestyle TV series: Sex and the City. The new release, The Finer Essence draws upon the first three albums of the Zurich-based duo, two of which have never been released outside of Switzerland. First, there is their 1999 debut Advanced Skin Care, a sensual blend of Drum 'n' Bass, Ambient, Jazz, Downbeat and elements from classical music. 2001 saw the follow-up Your Sonic Beauty Case, still an exclusive Swiss release, before their third album ¡Adelante! finally put Audio Lotion on the map internationally, so much so that the producers of Sex and the City chose three songs from this album to be played in three episodes of the cult series! Audio Lotion's first three albums - their "Swiss period", as it were - are now presented on The Finer Essence. Twenty-seven tracks, including exclusive songs from the original Swiss version of ¡Adelante! that have not yet made an international appearance. This is music as essential for your daily needs as eating and drinking.
