Farben - Textstar, Feb 28 2011
By scoundrel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Textstar (Audio CD)
Jen Jelinek, whatever his alias (here: Farben), manages to create some of the most involving electronic music around. TEXTSTAR, a collection of 12"s on Klang Elektronik, is much more dancey than his other works, but this is more headphone music than speaker music. "Live at the Sahara House, 1973" already starts out warm, but the woodwinds halfway through cinch the deal. Bit of jazz emerge on "Farben Says: Love to Love You Baby." "Suntouch Edit" is every bit as bright as its title implies with an intriguingly off-kilter rhythmic structure, while "Beautone" is as pretty as it title implies, with a seemingly game show-inspired flute chorus in the middle. "Farben Says: So Much Love" tosses in some quiet female vocals, while "Bayreuth" is more abstract, almost akin to Jelinek's other works. And the final track, "Farben Says: Love Oh Love" builds on a looped guitar plucking and ends on a tinkling piano. Brilliant all the way through.

intricate fluid music, Nov 15 2011
By D. Lambert - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Jan Jelinek is a very talented producer, and his work as Farben is some of his best. The Texstar compilation is filled with complex, fluid, intricate and very listenable pieces of electronic music. The closest genres would be house or "minimal" techno. Although Jelinek's sound is unique. It is very rhythmic and evocative. It is warm-sounding and highly detailed, however it is not particularly emotive. Sometimes it is inviting, but sometimes oddly unsettling. Each track tends to convey flow instead of the up-and-down motion characteristic of more mainstream house and techno. Overall there is an alluring peristaltic quality to the music on this album that is a unique accomplishment among the electronic music produced to date by anyone else.Jelinek has been one of my favorite producers for a while now, and this is very highly recommended.
