✨ WOW! I can't believe this has been pressed to vinyl... Truly a hidden gem within 90's electronic music and one of the BEST electronic albums to exist. Simplistic in its approach, Trill combines beautiful percussive samples and emotionally charged nostalgic synths that makes this album a pleasure to listen to over and over... I would say this is one of those albums i'll never get tired of. Favorite track: A1. Flutter (snippet).

nies Finally out on Vinyl! <3
Such a varied album and all the tracks sound amazing on the record. Favorite track: A1. Flutter (snippet).

Max Binski Another raw gem is finally available on vinyl almost 30 years after its original release. ' Trill' is a true cult classic for those familiar with Transonic's vast music catalogue. A timeless nine-track album encompassing multiple genres produced with sophistication and a natural Japanese sensibility for outstanding musical harmony. Favorite track: B3. Foaming Waves (snippet).

Feedback Waves — the new imprint from independent label Rings of Neptune — is proud to present Trill, the first and only album by Palomatic. Almost thirty years after its original release on CD in 1995, this beautiful nine-track work is now available on vinyl for the first time.

Palomatic is an alias of Koji Takahashi, an active member of the bubbling Japanese electronic music scene of the early-to-mid 90s. Besides his solo work, he was a core member of Takahashi Tektronix (with Nic Yoshizawa) and Mutron (with Kiyoshi Hazemoto, aka Interferon), as well as working as a synth programmer for supergroup Denki Groove. Following the release of his debut track ‘Halo’ on Syzygy Records in 1993, Takahashi made a series of contributions to compilations on the scene-defining Transonic label. His first and only full-length album, Trill, combined these tracks with original material to form an absorbing and versatile standalone statement of the Palomatic sound.

From the oscillating lilt of ‘Flutter’, which opens proceedings at a measured 104bpm, through to the symphonic epilogue of ‘Soar’, Trill is rooted in the fertile territory between organic and synthetic sounds — ground that was nourishing the work of many likeminded producers worldwide at the time. West Coast psychedelia and East Coast funk, the moody bass weight of Bristol trip-hop and Sheffield bleep, and the chemical rush of German techno and Belgian trance: with a distinctly Japanese sensibility, Trill drew these strands together into an elegant musical tapestry. The result is timeless — indeed, album centrepiece ‘Foaming Waves’ would sound right at home on the faster-paced dancefloors of today.

Tracklist:

A1. Flutter
A2. Idiot

B1. Acrobatic
B2. Halo
B3. Foaming Waves

C1. Under The Ground
C2. Palomatica

D1. Source Of Light
D2. Soar

Palomatic’s Trill LP will be available worldwide on May 3rd 2024.

You would be forgiven for thinking this is a compilation of tracks by various artists, when in fact all the tracks are the brainchild of a single producer - Lee Norris. Even genre boundaries are ignored with these breakbeat-jungle-electro-house-ambient-chill out-IDM excursions. Something for everyone, and everything for one listener. Phurniture
