Back in April, Kettel premiered his Poblesec video featuring a new track from his forthcoming album scheduled for release on Sending Orbs later in 2013.

This is not that album.

In addition to this still forthcoming album, Reimer Eising has composed the soundtrack to the new Playstation and PC game entitled ibb & obb, a two-player, co-op platform puzzler by indie developers Sparpweed and Codeglue. The soundtrack was a major work for Kettel, apparently one of his most extensive in terms of time and effort, and so it has been reworked to form a complete, standalone album.

Also released by Sending Orbs, ibb & obb – original Soundtrack is now available to pre-order on CD with immediate mp3 download from Sending Orbs, or to download from Kettel’s Bandcamp page.

A product of good old eighties Britain, screwed up by school, shat out by university and infuriated by anything corporate, I have never studied music, played an instrument beyond learning and then quickly forgetting the piano, rarely go to gigs and hold no particular interest in music hardware. It probably shows. But ever since my first exposure to late eighties popular music, a very simple and straightforward passion has remained a pure constant: that there is nothing more sublime in this life than simply sitting and listening… to music in particular. It was the late and dearly beloved BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel who irrevocably changed my life for the better, savagely demolishing the walls obscuring the wondrous and rapidly evolving proliferation of music that was really out there. Since then this music has constantly and inescapably shaped my life. My early attempts to persuade friends and family that this was what truly inventive, inspired music could sound like largely fell on deaf ears, and I quickly tired of the imitation bleep noises and amusing quips about the record or CD player being broken. Since then I have written for igloomag.com in an attempt to persuade you, the readers, not to make my early, blinkered mistakes, but instead to brave the waters of the ever deepening oceans of musical possibilities that exist out there. You wouldn’t want your life to be boring or humdrum, so why should the music you listen to be?
