ALBUM OF THE DAY: Jan Jelinek - Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records (2001)


What makes "Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records" so remarkable is the fact that Jan Jelinek created the album entirely from jazz samples, a technique that could account for the warm, organic palette of this uniquely hypnotic record.  Jelinek uses samples of piano, organ, and strings, layered with glitchy pops to create an ambient "techno" record that barely qualifies as such, as far as traditional "beats" are concerned; these gentle taps add just enough structure to this delicate and patient album that gorgeously unfolds upon each listen.
