Jan Jelinek has taken the popular clicks and cuts of the past few years and injected them with some well-needed soul on this enjoyable album. Tracks on this album range from house to experimental. Most are somewhat clicky, and jazz elements are often present. "Music To Interrogate By is a great house number that combines all these elements, with a dub bass line and even samples of crowd applause following the "solos. "Ifs, Ands And Buts is just as good, with a delicate bass line and subtle keys. Other tracks are more experimental, like "Facelift and "Davos S. The album owes a lot to Matthew Herberts Bodily Functions, but this one is more experimental and not as instantly catchy. Still, the same warmth and love of a good tune is there.
