No Hassle

European only LP pressing. No Hassle is the 2009 album by Viennese soundscape masters Tosca. Forefathers of the nu-Balearic/cosmic scene of artists; Richard Dorfmeister (also one half of Kruder & 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 laidback approach to making music but their whole philosophy of life. "It's our personal reaction to everything," explains Richard. "To all things that are pressuring you from outside, or internally, from every angle. It's sort of the ideal position to achieve, and it's the same idea behind the music: to achieve an hour where you feel hassle free." K7.
