I started this issue’s column by remarking that music is a universal language, a unifying force in the world. This CD is a great example. Listening, it’s impossible to identify what country Dago is from with so many nicely incorporated influences. This is not only music for the blue planet, it’s music of the blue planet. It’s a little jazzy (“Ozella”), it’s a little Latin (“Café au Lait,” “Nessa Hora Azul”). There’s even a major pop hit here (“Straight Away”) if they ever choose to go that route. Sung by Tokunbo Akinro, “Straight Away” is reminiscent of the great Randy Crawford. In an unusual touch, Dago has recorded three versions of a melody called “Morning Flight.” One is instrumental, one features a male vocal and is called “Stay Awake,” and the third version is sung by 11-year-old Soluna Samay. It’s called “I Wish I Was a Seagull” and is worth listening to for her infectious giggle. I like this CD—and I think Dago is from Germany.

"Out Of The Jungle" has a particularly pulsating rhythm, primal in its pull and hypnotic in its repetition. Wild animals fly or lope past, and there is a plethora of unusual sounds to tease your senses. For over an hour, Dago transports his listeners around the globe, melodies influenced by different lands and cultures, harmonies swooping like the flight of birds of paradise....

High „lounge factor“, extremely pleasant, chillout mood - that’s „Sounds for a blue Planet“. Dagobert Böhm joined in here with a variety of top-class musicians, including keyboarder Steven Toeteberg, saxophonist Tony Lakatos and singer Tokunbo Akinro. „Incredibly smooth - this CD will snuggle into many a player for the long cold winter.“

There are some albums that grab your attention from the first second after you press the play button… this is an album that is NOT going to be removed from the player easily. Dago has put together a bewitching mix of world music influences, acoustic instruments [with a dash of electricity here and there] and real honest to God tunes that you end up humming.

Dago draws upon melodic grooves to expand upon his emotional desire to record music with an airy blend of harmonic sensitivity and strongly stated rhythms. Bohm also attempts to paint an instrumental collage of strong melodies that are augmented by vocalese...

Maximum Lounge Factor, very pleasant chillout mood.

“Sounds for a blue planet" rings in a new era of clearly audible creativity. Taking off with groovy loops, this production continues to whistle new tunes for Dago with its instrumentation. Percussive rhythm loops, partly live, partly programmed, form the groundwork for this guitarist and his fellow musicians to have some fun on. Have no fear, the whole thing is neither technocratic nor stubbornly trendy. Beautiful music - as always - but the power to imagine sound architecture has clearly changed and developed, very much for the better.

Dago has made a quantum leap musically - this "thing" sounds totally mature and can easily hold its own among projects from the DJKicks-series (Kruder and Dorffmeister). This is top class world-rave-drum'n'bass-pop-fusion-sound! Perfectly produced technically, with an excellent sound, and arrangements that warm the heart of any and every sophisticated listener/dancer who's open for new mixtures. Böhm’s Blockbuster!
