In the mid-90s Ken Ishii rose to prominence with a futuristic sound rooted in Detroit’s machine soul yet unmistakably his own. Hailing from Sapporo Ishii quickly became synonymous with futuristic cutting-edge productions and ‘Jelly Tones’ - originally released on R&S Records in 1995 - was the breakthrough release that propelled the Japanese producer to global notoriety. Now reissued on vinyl for the first time since 2008 this 30-year anniversary edition of ‘Jelly Tones’ celebrates the album’s lasting legacy and continued influence with the dynamic rhythms crystalline synth textures and sophisticated arrangements that set Ishii apart - from the propulsive elegance of ‘Stretch’ and the layered complexity of ‘Pause in Herbs’ to the tribal otherworldly darkness of ‘Moved By Air’ and the lush close of ‘Endless Season’.
