Another reflection.

In mourning of Jun Seba's death celebration of his life, the official tribute album has been released.Taking a slight flip on the Modal Soul Classics namesake, the tracks here seem to primarily be by those Nujabes himself influenced, rather than songs and artists that influenced he. Amongst these tracks are covers and personalised tributes, including Five Deez remixing Latitude; one of my favourite beats by Nujabes. A highlight definitely has to be the Reflection Eternal cover by Clammbon - a Japanese group cited as one of Jun's influences in the first Modal Soul Classics (Folklore/Imaginary Folklore) returning to pay back their own respect. Not to mention the eye opener intro track by Pase Rock. Shivers down the spine, man.

ahhh, only in japan

Luv (sic) pt. 2 - Nujabes feat. Shing02


"okay so i want you to run at the camera, in broad daylight, in the middle of the street"

"is that all?"

"what are you crazy? of course not, this is japan. you also have to pretend there's a steel bar lodged in your ass"

"..."

"oh and you there, lining up for the CVD support group. you have to do it shirtless"

And strangely enough the final product is just right for this fucking excellent song. Just listen to that beat. RIP Nujabes :'(

It's like the Devil in me, saw the God in you
