While most might take that mission statement as an excuse to make loopy filter house, \u003cstrong\u003eJelinek\u003c\/strong\u003e’s metallurgic approach extracts grooves at a molecular level and reconstructs them; properly stripped-down techno in finest 2001 style. It’s an idealistic departure from the prevailing minimal techno sound of the new millennium, borne from the banality and existential pointlessness of \u003cem\u003eClicks \u0026amp; Cuts\u003c\/em\u003e-style electronic music.

This probably made it successful. All the pieces are like well-designed objects: no random, accidental moments, all focused on a harmony. This makes it enjoyable as functional music—music to work to, write emails to, etc.” Towards the end of “Moire - Piano \u0026amp; Organ,” you can almost make out the transients of a vibraphone ringing out, just before “Rock In The Video Age” washes up on the shore. “Tendency” is the lone track I could imagine slipping into an afterhours set, but the rest of it is pure headphone business for planes, trains and automobiles in the best possible way, like a faceless \/ wordless \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.com\/search?type=product\u0026amp;q=Vespertine\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eVespertine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e. “Drift,” “They, Them” and “Do Dekor” are delectably crunchy microhouse snacks, but best to listen from start to finish. 2LP reissue on \u003cstrong\u003eJelinek\u003c\/strong\u003e’s own Faitiche imprint, includes download code.
