Deep, soulful, touching, and forward-thinking.

"Jan Jelinek (aka Farben aka Gramm) has carved out a sound that rides comfortably between experimental "clicks & cuts" and the warm, rich tones of deep house and ambient. The music is quite minimal but, as with all great music, is much much more than the sum of its parts. The album holds together cohesively as a solid album's worth of music, as opposed to many albums which haphazardly throw together a collection of singles. It oozes, pops, and jitters. It will bathe you in warm tones and move you with subtle rhythms. I eagerly await future releases..."
Smooth ambi-tekno

"Smooth and etheral ambi-tekno of the finest quality. Similar in some ways to Stewart Walker's "Stabiles" - non-pretentious tekno chamber music. Mr.Jelinek's notebook gotta whole lotta soul! Looking forward to his "loop finding jazz" on scape."
