"IDM producer Reimer Eisling cites Aphex Twin, his AFX moniker specifically, as his primary influence and on his seventh album, it becomes so clearly evident for the first time. Rarely does an electronic artist come so close to AFX's sound but hardly infringes due to Kettel's ability to separate himself from the twin. Kettel's talent for inventing and weaving complex melodies allows “Mauerbrecher”, which could very well be off AFX's Analord series, to transform into an erratic rollercoaster ride. “The Second 2006” sounds like it was taken directly from Drukqs but with this wide collection of tracks dwarfing those of other recent electronic works, there's plenty of room for the new ideas that Kettel always brings home with him besides the impressive AFX tracks. “Mannschaft” and “Sekt I sing” take simple melodies and lift them up to amazing heights while “Halt Him” and “Peeksje 1994” are some of Kettel's greatest ambient works to date that display the controlled usage of nature sounds to temper the album's fantastic theme. No doubt, the best IDM album of 2006." [source]

Weird? Nah, more like Aphex Twin gone softy. In my opinion the best Kettel album, tracks like Mauerbrecher and The Second 2006 put you high on acid.
