jan jelinek avec the exposures

Jan Jelinek celebrates. He celebrates the discovery of straightforward directness. No more abstract concepts, no more hide-and-seek between glitchy hisses. Jan Jelinek invents Jan Jelinek. This is music like a passport picture, a full-frontal approach. Exposures. New contours emerge. If his Farben series was a paraphrased homage to soul, "Jan Jelinek avec The Exposures" stretches from quiet smoulders to a Brasilian exuberance that catches us unawares - but on the right footing. How present and movement-inducing his music can be! Of course, Jelinek stays Jelinek and his crackling exploration of limbo states remains just that. But the evolutionary leeway lent to melodies and bass grooves is enormous, samples unashamedly betray their heritage. On
"Jan Jelinek avec the Exposures" sources are no longer anonymised in his atomiser, they are allowed to colonise the dancefloor as fully-fledged characters. With Jelinek in the middle. And his reaction? He sings, sings happily to himself.

”Jan Jelinek avec The Exposures” will be extended to album length. Expect many more surprising glimpses and facets in February 2003
