With Lemongrass one of the most persistent artists in the soundworlds between Downbeat, Trip-Hop, Nu-Jazz and Drum & Bass grow up a whole decade long. Nearly any Compilation with the finest lounge sound features one of his tracks. The double album “Beach Affairs” offers a detailed overview on the work of Lemongrass on 2CDs: The Highlights of the late albums on Mole Listening Pearls and the very own label of the Voss brothers: Lemongrassmusic.

In spring 1999 Lemongrass has his debut on Mole Listening Pearls: The album "Lumière Obscure" is praised by the press as a “charming compliment to the need of harmony nestling to the couch in the evening and calling after sugar for the ears. …” In 2000 Roland Voss presents the consequent development of his style with “Voyage au centre de la terre". With “Windows” the next feel-good-album follows already in February 2001. Roland Voss stays loyal to himself with his next longplayer “Skydiver”, too and presents mellow vibes, underlayed with big slow-motion-beats. On “Skydiver” he creates weightless rooms of sound, that can only be designed by Lemongrass.

His 6th CD he names “Fleur Solaire“ – sunflower in english – that is released in october 2004 – a title that undertakes. Who put “Fleur Solaire” in the player will see a field of sunflowers whose blossoms are searching the sun like the mirrors of solar cells, constantly following its course to absorb all the energy.

In 2005 the 7th Lemongrass album “Ikebana” follows, that is, at the same time, the first CD on the own label Lemongrassmusic. 2007 the wonderful work “Filmothèque” follows up and with the album "Pour L'Amour" he makes the feat to hold the quality on the level of his previous albums, but to create something new, too. Allowed to love and an enchanting consumption to the ears.
