An excellent mixture of ambient slo-mo grooves.

Beautifiul music for cool moments.
Joan Ribas, Housevibes

The flow of quality chillout has slowed over the years. Its a breath of fresh air to hear a release as good as this. Reminds me of doing the Sunsets at Mambo- lazy, jazzy, summery chillout vibes that sound incredible in Ibiza.
Jim Breese, Hed Kandi

Das Edel-Label Ozella Music veröffentlicht Lounge-Compilation vom Feinsten.
Westfalen-Blatt 1.Mai 2007

In wohlige Schwingung versetzt der Sound von 'The Sound', der im Downtempo Zeit und Raum überwindet und dem Alltag ein Schnippchen schlägt. Als musikalische Wegbegleiter und Reiseführer in andere Sphären betätigen sich u.a. Reinmar Henschke, Dagobert Böhm, Stardelay, Gerold Kukulenz und Natural Frequencies. Eine Compilation jenseits aller Crossover-Klischees.

For Ozella-newbies and long-time label fans: Smooth jazz and spacy instrumentals

The overall mood is one of letting go of all troubles and worries, of enjoying the here and now and of loosing one’s sense of time. Certainly, this is a work of escapism, but a skillfully executed one and it grips you right away and won’t let you go until the end.

…a delicious compilation of down-tempo magic featuring sensual nu jazz and lounge grooves similar to nu music favorites Zero 7, Air and Portishead. The Germany-based label has managed to secure worldwide distribution for this stunning project on highly accessible platforms like iTunes and Amazon, which means that you can quickly and easily hook yourself up to this cool audio collection of innovative and relaxing music. The artists featured on THE SOUND include Ozella mastermind Dagobert Böhm whose song “Far Away” captures the imagination and stirs the soul with a flowing and airy guitar. In addition, multi-instrumentalist Carsten Mentzel’s new project the jazzy Stardelay has four alluring tracks on THE SOUND including “Earthlight” and the sultry vocal “It Could Be Sweet.” Pianist Reinmar Henschke offers up a several selections including a SmoothLounge.com Radio favorite, “Ein Neuer Tag.” You’ll even hear a nod to the Far East on this release from the Chinese-Norwegian ensemble Shan Qi on their incredibly serene piece “Avalon.” THE SOUND transcends space and time with 13 magical tracks venturing from warm and earthy to weightless, floating ambient vibes providing the perfect musical balance and an incomparable listening experience. THE SOUND comes highly recommended by us here in the Smooth Lounge! Sandy Shore, Smoothlounge
