    On its own, Yoyogi Park is a highly engrossing record of dream-like dancefloor sounds, but when sat next to Until Then, Goodbye and A Day In The Life, it’s an intelligent melding of its predecessors and exemplary final chapter.

    The line separating Saturday night and Sunday morning is no thicker than a second hand; Yoyogi Park invites you to clear out a space inside that sliver of time, and to luxuriate in it.

    Yoyogi Park is at its best on the tracks where Kersten wanders out of his comfort zone.

    There are certainly moments of huge elegance and even dancefloor nirvana here, but the rigidity seems to stifle some of the magic in comparison to the album’s predecessor.

    The results are too often simply a bit dull, and with the synthesizers verging on the too-tranquil, Yoyogi Park comes too close to music that is better suited to an elevator or shopping mall than an urban outdoor venue.
