Dntel is the solo project of Jimmy Tamborello.
He started working as Dntel in 1994. A collection of tracks created between 1995-1997 (Early Works For Me If It Works For You) was released on the Phthalo label in 1999, followed by the release of an E.P. recorded in 1994 (Something Always Goes Wrong) in 2000.

Review by ben_omcp Nov 25, 2002
just picked this up last night . . . incredible. i could seriously see this changing the face of pop music. imagine the sonic and vocal lushness of portishead mixed up with the more controlled moments of say, autechre, all layered over the laid-back, smoked out funk of swayzak -- but all the more managing to sound like an indie label release (think morr music) than an electronic release . . . it's cohesive, subtle, intelligent, and emotional. highly recommended.
