Originally recorded in the Dutch towns of Ureterp and Groningen between 2003 and 2005, Through Friendly Waters marks a pivotal moment in Reimer Eising's -- better known as Kettel -- journey through melodic braindance and ambient electronica. With his classical training on piano and a refined sensibility for gentle electronic textures, Kettel weaves together shimmering piano motifs, warm ambient textures, playful breakbeats, and pastoral atmospheres that shimmer with emotional resonance. First released in 2005 via his own label Sending Orbs, the album soon achieved cult status among IDM fans, celebrated for balancing playful compositional elegance with heartfelt sonic depth. TFW still remains as a timeless soundtrack that perfectly encapsulates why Kettel remains a key figure of electronic music enthusiasts two decades on. To honor its twentieth anniversary, Lapsus Records presents Through Friendly Waters (20th Anniversary Edition), marking the album's debut on vinyl within the Perennial Series. This edition has been remastered by Alex Ferrer and redesigned by Basora, resulting in a deluxe version that also includes the tracks "Unistar" and "Toen," which were originally released only on CD by the Timothy Really label back in 2007.
