producer - Jan Jelinek

note: "Though many producers have pushed forward the clicks-and-cuts style of experimental ambience developed by German experimentalists Oval (among others), few have been able to match their knack for making abstract cuts into pieces of undeniable beauty. Jan Jelinek's first LP as Gramm is one of the precious few, and it's obvious from the opener "Legends/Nugroove," a track that drifts along with droning, melancholy synth accompanying the various extreme-frequency percussion detritus in the track. While the beats are slightly more straight-ahead on "Type Zwei" (another highlight), the atmospherics are similarly down-tempo, nocturnal, and even dizzying at times. Though they're stated simply and rarely vary from track to track, the synths are also extremely effective at creating a reflective mood. For all the abstract chill-out fans who need a bit more to dwell on than four-four or breakbeats, Personal Rock offers almost as much experimentation as beauty." - John Bush, All Music Guide.

Jonah Sharp (Space Time Continuum) and David Moufang aka Move D (and half of Deep Space Network).

note: "This brilliant but underproduced album provides highlights of two nights of recording by Jonah Sharp (of Spacetime Continuum) and David Moufang (of Deep Space Network and Conjoint). Five of the songs were recorded in Jonah's converted warehouse in San Francisco, and three songs were in David's Heidelberg studio. Awash in synth pads and drum machines, this album is an accurate representation of the ambient scene of the mid 1990s. Fans of recordings such as Alien Community, Electro Harmonix, Big Rooms, and Sea Biscuit; and artists such as Pete Namlook, Irresistible Force, and Global Communication would likely also enjoy Reagenz. Moufang's crafty chord arrangements and Sharp's keen sense of rhythm and percussion provide a nice complement. Their combined collections of vintage and modern studio electronics provide a wonderful treat for fans of the ambient movement."
