about

In case you haven't figured it out yet, KOMPAKT loves tradition and as you know, we have had a longstanding affair with our beloved Japanese producer extraordinaire Hiroshi Watanabe aka KAITO. His 2009 full length TRUST (KOMCD74) showcased a deeper, more matured side to KAITO's now classic sound.

So with every KAITO album comes the custom - the beatless versions. That said, we proudly offer your ears AND THAT WAS THE WAY - Watanabe effortlessly has brought together three of the lead tunes from TRUST through into the calm waters of his ambient bliss. Take the piano chords of the title track as they play tenderly to a reverberating room, the sublime ease that NOTHING CAN BE MORE PEACEFUL has been transformed into. And then there is RAINBOW CIRCLES ...think of the track as the emotion of release you feel from the pains of winter on that first spring day - a gorgeous achievement that seems quite distanced from it's original version.

We present a distinguished twist to the usual fare with a tremendous remix from the highly esteemed Detroit/Chicago duo ECHOSPACE…they fortunately found time between putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming full length to come up with this 14 minute opus. They prove their mastery of electronic dub with this faultless remix - they take the finest elements of the original tune and rebuild it into what can be rightly described as proper deep groove.

So you have AND THAT WAS THE WAY…KAITO once again demonstrates his magic that goes on behind the beat.
