TS: Markus Guentner's "Audio Island" vs. Kaito's "Special Life"

I’ve been listening to a lot of Kaito in the past few weeks.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any spiritual successors. =(

random trivia: kaito was, for a minute, a collaboration between hiroshi watanabe and todd osborn (they both have sons named kaito).

i love that on ilm I can find someone else listening to the same 10 year old minimal trance record that I figured most people forgot about already

Special Life is still a classic, "Peace of Landscape" even better (even though it's oft mislabeled "Soul of Heart"), and the awesome vinyl version of "Awakening" is underheard and possibly the tranciest and most maximal Kompakt ever got. Hundred Million Light Years and Trust are solid but a bit of a step down, but, try as I may, I could not get into Until The End Of Time. Never heard the beatless version of it though.

Also, I thought Audio Island was not good at all!
