Andreas - Paradise Cafe (2012) Lossless

With PARADISE CAFÉ, multi-instrumentalist and composer Andreas set out to capture the mellow beauty of being on a vacation in the tropics. With its "Café del Mar" vibe and warm harmonies, the music easily evokes images of beach-side restaurants, swaying palm trees and lazy afternoons spent drinking in the sights and sounds of the Caribbean. The music mixes new age melodies and chill-lounge beats, with an edge of smooth jazz in the grooves. Keyboards and synths have a large presence, with breezy trancescapes swirling in the backdrop and retro-flavored keyboard effects that call to mind vintage lounge music. Guitar also gets wrapped up in the arrangements, adding to the serene smoothness. Great for relaxing or for creating a mood while entertaining.
