Gramm is like the slow gush of morphine into your body, blood rushing, sluggish heart thumps, overlaid with metallic pinpricks, oily pings in high definition, an aural embrace. Jan Jelinek (the man behind Gramm) is pretty damn good, I have found. I'm familiar with Kosmischer Pitch, (under his own name), which came after this Gramm album. It has similar characteristics: an overall drone threaded throughout, a sort of druggy insulated atmosphere, but without minimal techno's shards of beats. Personal Rock is orgasmic to listen to, I can sometimes forget that music doesn't need melody or emotion for me to really connect with it, the masterful craft that has gone into this album is clear. I will work my way through this guy's work in the next couple of years - his stuff under the name Farben and as his own name (especially Loop-Finding Jazz Records, which I really like the idea of) - I think I have possibly found a new favourite artist here.
