“The cheerful opening amalgam of real and electronic birdsong on “Morgenfugl” alone is indication enough of the warm breeze blowing through this selection of eleven delicate creations from Denmark´s Jens Berents Christiansen. His work breathes fresh and open air with admirable confidence, knowing when to pause and when to press on. The balance between fleeting melody and hinted ambience is carefully maintained. Despite it´s ponderous title, “Sdr. Fasanvej Kl. Ca. 22.00” has a welcoming lightness to it, while “Tangoboy” exudes a quietly pensive charm and “Hey Man?” is filled with gentle surprises. Guaranteed to take you from the latest of nights to the earliest of mornings with the least amount of fuss.”
- Ken Hollings/The Wire (UK)
"Kleine, süße Tracks mit viel Melodie und allerhand von feineren Ideen, scharf gecutteten Euphoriechören, einer großen Begeisterung für fluffige Portamentos, dubbige Gewittrigkeit und Hawaii-Gitarre. Ganz ruhig und leise entwickelt sich hier Track nach Track und man versinkt immer mehr in sich und freut sich, dass Dänemark so nah dran ist."
- Thaddi/DE:BUG (DE)
"It’s one of the year’s most tunefully satisfying electronic sets."
- Marc Weidenbaum/Disquiet (US)
"...behagelige og underholdende tracks, der også fungerer fint sammen som en helstøbt udgivelse."
- Jakob Rosenbak/GAFFA (DK)
"Forfriskende, leken elektronika fra brodernasjonen i sør."
"..innovative Album"
Rumpistol is the debut album from the Danish electronica artist Rumpistol (danish for spacegun), aka Jens Berents Christiansen.
It was originally released in March 2003 in a limited edition which received great reviews in the Danish press as well as within the music audience. Due to this positive response, Rump Recordings re-released the album, in a slightly modified version, with a new cover, one new track, and a remix by Danish artist Pondul (aka Ormen from Balstyrko/Melk).
Along with its experimental approach, Rumpistol is a quite friendly and inviting album with its elastic sense of rhythm, harmonic warmth, and melodic clarity.
Several tracks from the album such as “Tangoboy” and “Sdr. Fasanvej kl. ca. 22.00” has been featured on different compilations, and “Sdr. Fasanvej..” was also played by the late John Peel at his legendary BBC Radio 1 show.
