Jan Jelinek - Kosmischer Pitch (2025) [Hi-Res]

Jan Jelinek is celebrating the 20th anniversary of his classic album "Kosmischer Pitch" by reissuing it on his own label with a newly added previously unreleased bonus track from the same era. Originally released in 2005 through Pole’s ~scape label, "Kosmischer Pitch" represented a subtle shift from Jelinek’s established dub, jazz, funk, and soul-sampling style to embrace the motorik kosmiche aesthetic reminiscent of krautrock pioneers like Harmonia, Cluster, and Can.

The album has gained a reputation for its soothing and hypnotic qualities, influencing a range of artists in the post-rock and krautrock-inspired scenes, including The Field, To Rococo Rot, and Kreidler. Notable tracks such as "Lithiummelodie 1," "Universal Band Silhouette," "Planeten In Halbtrauer," and "Western Mimickry" showcase Jelinek’s ability to blend intricate edits with groovy rhythms, creating a timeless and expansive soundscape. The reissue not only honors the original work but also highlights Jelinek’s technical prowess and creative vision, making "Kosmischer Pitch" a lasting staple in contemporary electronic and experimental music.
