From the label:

"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 honour 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."

Why, two new µ-Ziq albums, of course. Manzana is a companion record of sorts to 1979, Mike Paradinas’s second album for Balmat; it arrives just one week after that record’s release. In sound and atmosphere, Manzana represents a logical extension of 1979’s world—in fact, the first track is itself titled “1979”—shot through with detuned synths, eerie vox pads, knife-edged drums. The vibe is by turns shadowy and psychedelic, flitting from wistful moments of calm and more unsettling moods. On balance, Manzana might be the darker of the two albums—more guarded, less apt to break into rhythmic release. And in both palette and style, it evokes the eternal spirit of braindance: Many of these tracks could pass for productions from the mid-1990s—in the best way. Like 1979, which was inspired by youthful trips to Spain, Manzana reaches into the past and returns with something timeless.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : µ-Ziq\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Balmat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBALMAT20\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRelease date : 7th November 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-02-16T18:05:08+09:00","created_at":"2026-02-16T09:40:43+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","balmat","house","new"],"price":299800,"price_min":299800,"price_max":299800,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":48326666518778,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"µ-Ziq \/\/ Manzana CD","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":299800,"weight":90,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"4062548127713","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man1_467061a5-a622-4ba5-b4ec-12ddccb01744.jpg?v=1771202350","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man2_6d05cfef-dd3d-4fb0-acb9-c6350d8ca2b1.jpg?v=1771202350"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man1_467061a5-a622-4ba5-b4ec-12ddccb01744.jpg?v=1771202350","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":38343329448186,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man1_467061a5-a622-4ba5-b4ec-12ddccb01744.jpg?v=1771202350"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man1_467061a5-a622-4ba5-b4ec-12ddccb01744.jpg?v=1771202350","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":38343329480954,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man2_6d05cfef-dd3d-4fb0-acb9-c6350d8ca2b1.jpg?v=1771202350"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/man2_6d05cfef-dd3d-4fb0-acb9-c6350d8ca2b1.jpg?v=1771202350","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e1993年から活動しているイギリスのベテランIDM作家µ-Ziqが、2025年10月にスペイン・バルセロナのIDMレーベルBalmatからリリースしたCDです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eアンビエント〜IDM15曲を収録。デジスリーブ、シュリンク仕様です。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=663853083\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/lapsus\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/lapsus\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Lapsus \/ Balmat releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk us for digital files.\u003cbr\u003eCD in digipack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1. 1979 04:33\u003cbr\u003e2.

The sense of continuity between the two records is clear, and not just from their titles. Both capture the Planet Mu head venturing into the wilderness, seeking something—half-formed memories, thoughts caught in midair—in some of the most abstract, searching music he has released.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJust like 1977, 1979 surveys a synth-heavy array of ethereal soundscapes, ominous crevasses, and strange, psychedelic fugues. Like its predecessor, the new album’s atmospheric cast sets it apart from much of the work Paradinas has released as µ-Ziq on Planet Mu. It’s not strictly an ambient record, but it’s close, as close as this famously mutable artist ever comes to inhabiting a particular genre.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eParadinas’ inspiration for the record began on visits to the Spanish cities of Ávila and Majadahona, where his family hails from. That might account for the sense that there are spirits flitting through this music, presences you can intuit if not quite grasp. But 1979 is also a record to meet on your own terms, and to find your own meanings in.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s a stunning record, every track a world unto itself: the mysterious contours of “Majadahonda at Dawn”; the playful melodic fillips of “Clari”; the airy melancholy of “Galletas”; the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e full-scale breakbeat abandon (yes, you read that right) of “Houzz 14,” the rarest of dancefloor detours for Balmat. There are echoes of classic braindance and isolationist ambient and golden-age IDM; there are easter eggs and recurring themes and hidden symmetries. Every time we listen, we discover something new.

The sense of continuity between the two records is clear, and not just from their titles. Both capture the Planet Mu head venturing into the wilderness, seeking something—half-formed memories, thoughts caught in midair—in some of the most abstract, searching music he has released.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJust like 1977, 1979 surveys a synth-heavy array of ethereal soundscapes, ominous crevasses, and strange, psychedelic fugues. Like its predecessor, the new album’s atmospheric cast sets it apart from much of the work Paradinas has released as µ-Ziq on Planet Mu. It’s not strictly an ambient record, but it’s close, as close as this famously mutable artist ever comes to inhabiting a particular genre.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eParadinas’ inspiration for the record began on visits to the Spanish cities of Ávila and Majadahona, where his family hails from. That might account for the sense that there are spirits flitting through this music, presences you can intuit if not quite grasp. But 1979 is also a record to meet on your own terms, and to find your own meanings in.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt’s a stunning record, every track a world unto itself: the mysterious contours of “Majadahonda at Dawn”; the playful melodic fillips of “Clari”; the airy melancholy of “Galletas”; the\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e full-scale breakbeat abandon (yes, you read that right) of “Houzz 14,” the rarest of dancefloor detours for Balmat.
