'No Hassle' is the new album by Viennese soundscape masters
Tosca. Forefathers of the nu-Balearic/cosmic scene of artists
such as Studio, Quiet Village, A Mountain Of One and Windsurf;
Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber have produced their most
magical and mesmerizing album yet. A luxurious tapestry of
analogue and digital sounds, submerged samples and live
instruments; 'No Hassle' evolves and expands into an hour-long
ambient symphony. The title reflects not only the duo's laid
back approach to making music but their whole philosophy of
life.
Multi-instrumentalists Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber
have been friends since their Vienna schooldays, when they
founded their first experimental band, Dehli 9. Richard later
became half of the globally acclaimed DJ-producer duo Kruder
and Dorfmeister, while Rupert worked in piano composition,
sound-art installation and acoustic networks. The duo
rediscovered their musical chemistry again with their Tosca
debut, the 1994 12" 'Chocolate Elvis'; a string of highly
praised albums and remix collections followed.
Tracklist:
* 01. My First 5:42
* 02. Elitsa 4:55
* 03. Springer 5:12
* 04. Birthday 4:49
* 05. Oysters In May 4:36
* 06. Joe Si Ha 4:09
* 07. Elektra Bregenz 4:08
* 08. Fondue 3:33
* 09. Rosa 5:07
* 10. Raymondo 5:16
* 11. Mrs. Bongo 5:34
* 12. No Hassle 6:24

Looking forward to hear how this sounds. I loved the experimental nature of "Opera", but each album after seemed a consistently less interesting and exploratory to me. Maybe this one will break the pattern. |

I'll be interested only if this is a house music-free album (I like house but Dorfmeister should stick to making downtempo stuff  ).

Did anyone pick this up? I was reminded of it this week and am thinking about it. I loved Dehli9. |

Very laid back and chilled out album. While there's maybe one or two songs with a half-speed disco/funk feeling, most of the album feels like a cross between Opera and Suzuki. It seems to wander back and forth between ambient and almost ambient jazz. Definitely worth checking out IMHO. |

I found the Tosca offspring rather boring. Kruder&Dorfmeister had something going but all very timely cant listen to it anymore.
