Excerpt: "Jumpel brings a wealth of musical and life experience to this meticulously crafted debut album. He's clearly mastered the technological challenges involved in merging acoustic and electronic sounds into compositional wholes and does so deftly throughout, without succumbing to excess or self-indulgence. Dürbeck's electro-acoustic meditations manage to be both minimalistic yet symphonic too... Over the course of the album, Dürbeck reveals himself to be something of an obsessive miniaturist, as he packs the maximum amount of detail into each setting, regardless of length. Even so, <em>Samuel Jason Lies On The Beach </em> feels intimate despite its broad spectrum of instrumental colour and occasional cinematic ambiance."
