来自美国的Jel待过的两大厂牌Mush和Anticon是专攻Abstract Hip Hop的专业唱片公司，就Jel本身的作品风格来说，虽然也是做纯器乐缓拍，但节拍音色方面始终还有点欠缺。
Jel在2002年发表了两张专辑《10 Seconds》和《Greenball》。当《10 Seconds》开篇曲“Multi Pitch”残阳般的Abstract Hip Hop节奏在末段悄然响起的时候，你已经知道逃脱不了Jel的音乐陷阱了。虽然在“Multi Level”开头部分有段说唱，但只是一小段，并不妨碍之后“Exit Multi Mode”在华丽的键盘伴奏之下的缓缓进入。“Dynamic Button”背景里老唱片的杂音，清淡的吉他撩拨一应俱全。一直进行到“Define Mix”节拍才得以真正加重放慢，而“SelectMix”开始的几个高音键总容易让人分神。“Changing Patterns”总让人想起昔日初次听到DJ Shadow的美好时光。整体而言，《10 Seconds》基本是以一些简单的动机组成，这点也可以从大部分作品都是不到三分钟的长度可以看出，Jel的自我风格尚未完全建立。
《Greenball》开篇曲“Your Mother”里几处小号和伴奏乐器都与缓拍配合的很娴熟，但随后的“Months Rent”里的节拍音色过于干涩，钢琴的伴奏也显得机械化了点，同样的问题还存在于“John Brown's Birthday Suite”里。“Sunday Night”相对于前几首情况稍微改观些，关键还是节拍的音色需要进一步雕琢。“Wontoncanofwhupass”比之先前这些都要好很多，采样的运用使作品增添不少怀旧色彩，节拍音色也更趋饱满，细节之处也有了许多变化，不会一个节奏打到底了，偶尔的停顿也做的恰到好处。Jel似乎对各种乐器的音色实验很有兴趣，在接下来的“Near East Bounce”又有一种似曾相识的奇特音效出现，但为什么不在节拍音色上好好下番工夫呢。
2004年，Jel发表了《Greenball》的序篇《Greenball Ⅱ》，“Zen Approach Rmx”中段怪异却悦耳的音效和大气的鼓拍带来了不同于前两张专辑的感觉。这在“Smoke＆Mirrors”和“Matkimble Is Crazy”也都有表现，节拍的音色初听不再像先前那样干干的，不过时间久了，又和先前相差无几。“D.I.Y.Partisan”里的节拍质感相对来说灵动了一些，中段经过采样衔接之后摇身一变为欢快的跳跃节奏算是整张专辑里最大的惊喜了。“Sole＆Sage Heads Hurts”在大提琴低沉的伴奏之下，鼓的节拍显得相当气势宏伟，还有那几声“Ha Ha”的功夫喝声，给周星驰的《功夫3》做配乐倒是个不错的选择。
时隔两年，Jel终于在2006年带来了全新专辑《Soft Money》，值得关注的是首次在专辑当中出现了女声，看来女声加缓拍是无法抗拒的潮流了。“All Around”里的女声Stefanie Bohm在复古的Synth Pop曲式之下轻声哼唱还是相当讨好听觉的，事实证明，与多人合作才是Jel真正突破自身单调格局的出路。不过对于专辑中大量加入的说唱这一手法就见仁见智了。
