Art of Silence is really a JJ Jeczalik solo project in all but name. It was recorded, mixed and produced by JJ in collaboration with well-known engineer/producer Bob Kraushaar (who’s worked with the Pet Shop Boys, amongst other name artists) at JJ’s Monsterrat Studio, and features, true to form, some hair-raisingly extreme music. Yet completely contrary to what the name suggests, Art Of Silence is not an ambient version of Art Of Noise, but instead features lots of heavy-duty dance music... Just to throw in some contrast, the last two tracks (of the debut album), ‘Fear No Malice’ and the majestic ‘Some Other Dream’, explore some of the more melodic and ambient territory that the Art Of Noise was so well-known for. - Sound On Sound magazine, August 1996
