"If you're after a record to make you cringe, think and smile, 'Fool' is it."

Occasionally an artist appears armed with a record so captivating that, as a reviewer, it's easy to listen to it a dozen times in a 48-hour period.

Dutch producer Mitchel van Dinther, aka Jameszoo, is one such artist, and Fool is as captivating as it is alienating. It's jazz music for a digital society, which sees Dinther blend electronic cacophonies with delicate analogue instrumentation. At times it is so light there is barely any audio to be heard, at others there's a discernible groove that will have hips swaying. If you're after a record to make you cringe, think and smile, Fool is it.
