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".
