    _Jelly Tones_ is Ken Ishii's breakthrough album, the one that brought him widespread attention. He brings in a strong Detroit influence to this album, infusing it with not a small amount of soul to accompany the anime otaku attitude. "Extra," the standout track, swirls and thumps gorgeously -- it's definitely a highpoint of Ishii's career. "Cocoa Mousse" has much more delicacy to it, while "Rusty Transparancy" has some archaic harpsichord hits to add some sonic texture. "Ethos 9" gets us back into some twisty techno, with some touch-and-go breaks. And the heaviness comes on strong with "Moved By Air," which takes a more tribal tack. The dense and complex "Pause in Herbs" has so many distinct and interacting layers that it may seem bewildering at first, but it quickly resolves its main melodic line. Luckily, "Frame Out" is much more straightforward -- almost a pure rhythm track. And as hard and rhythmic as "Stretch" is, it also glistens. "Endless Season" takes the album out on a more ambient, mostly beatless note. Even though this took Ishii to the top in 1995, it still sounds fresh today.
