I just ordered this amazing release!
not only the music is wicked the artwork is too

it´s even more fun because it is released on the brand new
non-profit Sending Orbs label which is located in my home
town

a review from their site:

Since not too long a new electronic label has arisen in
the cold north of Holland. Sending Orbs it is called and
their first release is a real beauty. The Gronings
electronics hero Kettel presents his latest album "Through
Friendly Waters". On it there are six new songs, one old
one, and two live songs.

I’m seriously in love with this album. Kettel makes
beautiful music and has the ability to create heavenly
spheres. Last summer (2004) I had the opportunity to
experience Kettel live. And although the live-show isn't
strong at all, the music is an experience on its own. The
combination of hypnotizing, loud, and incomprehensible beats
along with the melancholic melodies are unworldly
beautiful.

Of course we are already familiar with this kind of music
making. Especially Richard D. James seems to have a patent
on this. But there are only a few laptop musicians who can
compete with acts like Aphex Twin, and Kettel is one of
them.

The album opens with 'Bodpa' and immediately the tone is
set: warm, spherical, and compelling from the beginning.
'Pinch Of Peer' takes over and prepares us for the absolute
beauty of this album: 'Shinusob'. The beats start complex
and hard to grasp. But after a while the melody kicks in and
everything seems to fall in place. What a wonderful songs
this is!

'I Was Fine' has some children singing in it, which makes it
lovely as well as a bit ominous. 'Through Friendly Waters'
is very successful and could have been longer to my opinion.
Pleasantly surprising is the appearance of the cello halfway
through the song.

'Purple Jacket Trot' comes from the Kettel Attic and you
can clearly hear this. The song is somewhat flat and a bit
more simplistic. However, I also believe this song is done
successfully. Maybe it’s because of the easier to follow
structures. I think 'Purple Jacket Trot' could do very well
on the dance floors. It sounds like a combination of Aphex
Twin with The Prodigy. The two live songs, recorded for Club
Lek (VPRO radio) in 2003, are beautiful.

To my opinion, every album has a minus. I've searched a long
time to find something wrong about "Through Friendly
Waters". The only thing I could find, was that sometimes,
just very occasionally, the high tunes are mixed a little
bit too fierce. But this is absolutely nothing compared to
the beauty of this album.

Pay some attention to the suitable artwork by Jeroen
Advocaat. I really hope he will be involved in future
releases of Sending Orbs, who have placed their label firmly
on the electronic music map.
