a lot of this album puts me there, in my distant mind

as a non native english speaker I'm struggling with the meaning of "lush". I looked it up in the dictionary and all the translations didn't seem to be appropriate. So I guess it has some kind of double meaning, which doesn't translate to my mother tongue. Just out of the context of the stuff that has been postet yet, my guess is it means easy listening with predominant strings. Am I far out with this meaning?

Yeah, in short, a vibe.
It's the old "Talking about music is like dancing about oranges." argument.
Or like Pornography - hard to define precisely but you know it when you see it.
To me, use of "Lush" to describe music should imply multiple layers of sound (a gap in which strings fit well), deep harmonies, chordally or vocally, and a chilled pace otherwise you miss the beauty. Like a musical slow exhale on some exotic beach.

Lonnie Liston Smith- Love Beams
You could say billowy, flowing, floating, softness.
And what people said above.
Totally lush. No strings, except bass.
Hey,
This is lush:
Peace,
Big Stacks from Kakalak
first track that come to mind
