It’s been three years since Hiroshi Watanabe aka Kaito‘s last proper release, and on his latest offering for Kompakt we see the Japanese veteran crafting a deeply personal narrative in line with his earlier works, while carving out the timeless qualities of his trademark sound to interlock with today’s floor gusto. ‘Until the End of Time’, the unrivalled don’s eighth album, continues his hard-to-place-but-easy-to-love approach. There are downtempo moments (see the blissful ‘Smile’), floor-friendly romps (the dreamy tech-jazz of ‘I’m Leaving Home’ and bubbling futurism of ‘Run Through The Road In The Fog’), and cuts that are just plain gorgeous (‘Inner Space’, ‘Dear Friends’). Great album.
