Excerpt: "If Europa  isn't quite a whirlwind tour  around the world in eighty days, it's at the very least a journey  through Europe in forty-five minutes—and very much a scenic one at that... An attempt to distill personal memories  of eleven European locations into an ambient electronica suite, the  concept driving the new release is an inspired one that affords a  marvelous opportunity for dramatic sound exploration. Each piece is like  a mini-portrait that more evokes the locale indirectly than tries to  literally represent it, and the project as a whole imprints itself  surrpetitiously on the listener's mind... The album's most memorable track is  “Edinburgh,” on account of a simple yet memorable set of piano chords  and especially a luminous vocal performance by Chloë March. The song  stands out so much, in fact, it suggests Dürbeck would be wise to  consider featuring a greater number of vocal performances on future  Jumpel recordings. Broached as a whole, Europa  plays less like  the experience of a first-time sightseer excited by the prospect of  seeing the usual tourist sights and more like a long-time visitor who  regards the journey as a time for reflection and melancholic rumination."
