RICHARD DORFMEISTER and RUPERT HUBER have been friends since their Vienna schooldays. Richard later became half of the globally acclaimed DJ-producer duo Kruder & Dorfmeister. This is their fifth studio album, and their most beautiful musical statement so far. A luxurious tapestry of analogue and digital sounds, submerged samples and live instruments, it evolves and expands into an hour-long symphony. The title reflects not only the duo's laidback approach to making music but their whole philosophy of life. Conceived as a single seamless sea of sound, deeply layered with liquid rhythms and tidal melodies. Warm and enveloping, each leisurely track flows gently into the next, a musical ocean moving in slow motion. This is an album to plunge deeply into and get lost inside - drawing on classic Tosca ingredients: dub and funk, blues and krautrock, acoustic and electronic, strings and samples, mellow grooves and elegant piano melodies. Richard and Rupert premiered the album at the Ars Electronica festival in Linz last September, at the Linzer Dom cathedral, accompanied by dazzling video graphics. This stunning live performance is captured on the bonus CD that accompanies the studio album.
