USA BUYERS PLEASE READ SHIPPING SECTION FIRST! TO AVOID SIGNIFICANT DISPATCH DELAY PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL WE INVOICE YOU THANKS NUJABES–MODAL SOUL JAPAN MADE ONLY EDITION CD NEW OUT OF PRINT & VERY HARD TO GET! Hard to Get Japanese Only Edition, Superb Sound. The Item is brand new. Quality silver pressing, and top notch printing for cover and liner notes. Release Date: 2006 , Catalogue Number: PD5 , Label: Marquises Review (Thanks to KG) I first got exposed to Nujabes through his work on Samurai Champloo. I bought all four of the soundtrack CD's for the show, and for about four months they were in constant rotation in my car and at home. Nujabes' work really stood on those four CDs, enough for me to try and find some of his outside work. I came across his first album, Metaphorical Music, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so naturally I bought this CD, Modal Soul, the follow-up. Nujabes has a very unique style. His melodies are jazz-based, using the piano, saxophone, flute, guitar, bass, and various electronic sounds (He does a lot of soloing on his piano, so if you enjoy that, you're in luck!). He puts combinations of these elements on top of smooth, modern hip-hop beats. The result is an organic, lush sound that carries a lot of depth and emotion. Nujabes expands on this depth by teaming with MC's Cyne, Substantial, Shing02, Apani B, Pase Rock and singer Terry Callier, all of whom are performers who strive to create music that is meaningful, beyond the "hoes and dough" approach prevalent in hip-hop today. Thus the cool, jazzy and meaningful vibe of the music that Nujabes produces is not ruined, but rather enhanced by his guests. If you're sick of listening to raunchy, shallow hip-hop about big butts, drugs, and gang violence, this album is a breath of fresh-air for you. The best aspect of Nujabes' music is the range of emotion that is harvested within each song. Nujabes is a master of arousing a feeling through his music. There are tracks on here which make you feel sad, which make you reflect on good times past, which lift you up and make you want to groove to the beat. These songs are absolutely perfect for car rides, trips through the big city, travelling of any kind, or late nights in the dark under a clear moon. Songs that subtly make you ponder your existence are perfect when you're surrounded by humanity or natural beauty. I've actually learned to appreciate more wholly all of the good things I've gone through and received, because of the thoughts this album provokes (yeah, it's that engrossing). The album does a good job balancing pure instrumental music with the vocal-based songs. 6 are vocal songs, 8 are instrumental. Thus those who are used to the instrumental music found on Samurai Champloo tracks will be satisfied, and those looking for some words on their tracks are also catered to. If you have any reservations about the pricing of this album, forget them. You're on this webpage because you've heard Nujabes before or he's been recommended to you by someone. If you've liked his material from Samurai Champloo or elsewhere and are looking for more, buy the record. You won't find any music out there that is comparable. Moreover, no retail store is ever going to have his stuff (Nujabes is little known in the U.S.), unless you go to some place where they sell rare vinyl records. Highly Recommended! Track Listing 1.
