Found out about em thru Samurai Champloo. Instantly fell in love with the chill beats that really make you think, by Nujabes, and meaningful lyrics and smooth flow of Shing02, the dynamic duo. And a few days ago the offical pt.5 of their luv.sic series came out, which is awesome and saddening because Nujabes died in a car crash(RIP) so we won't be hearing any of more his masterpieces. Ah it's always the best ones that go early. So just curious if there are any fans out there. Just one more part left,the grand finale. It'll be glorious. I'd post links, but YT is blocked at my work.

I actually found about Nujabes through Samurai Champloo when i did some research on Shing02 and Fat Jon few years ago. All of them remarkable artists. You should check out Lightweight Heavy album from Fat Jon and This Is A Recording from Tsuchie

Also, this and this

Awesome to hear! I haven't really delved into fat jon's music, I really should. Most just familiar with people that've worked with Nujabes(Substantial, Pase Rock, Cise Starr, etc etc) and ofcourse having Nujabes's and Shing02's discography. For The Tyme Being 4 coming out soon! It's great that someone knows them though. Felt like I was alone in this haha. So hard to relate my music taste to my irl friends.

I may also have few other things in my topic that you might like, feel free to visit it anytime. Btw check out Ki-Oku compilation with DJ Crush and Tokinori Kondo later, it's pretty damn amazing.

There is also this one smooth thing from Saudade# mix with Nujabes titled Psychological Counterpoint

Will definitely check all of it out. Funny thing that just happened that didn't surprise me nearly as much as it should've was, after reading your last post, I went to my Nujabes playlist, hit random, and the first song to play was Psychological Counterpoint. Nujabes works in mysterious ways haha.

Love the piano on Feather. It's so hard to pick just one favorite, but I find myself chilling to Horizon and Winter Lane alot. Also Old Light, Imaginary Folklore and World's End Rhapsody. Hell, I might as well just list em all lol. Again, hard to pick a favorite for Shing02 but Miditation might take the cake for me.

I've been listening to Nujabes for eight years. I miss that guy.

Same :(. I've even held off on listening to Spiritual State even though it's readily accessible on my iPod at anytime. I feel like if I do listen, he'll truly be gone :/

Yep! For a long while now. I wish I still lived in Japan when I learned of him, so I could've bought his stuff over there. I only have one album, from samurai champloo. After hanabi is one of my favourites (I can't choose a favourite though! I like nearly every song).

There are a lot of other artists you'd like :) I'm blanking names but bob42jh on YouTube uploads plenty of great music as well as some others. I'd list them all but I'm out of town with pc!

I was also first introduced to his music through that show, but never really got into it 'till his death. Shame.

How's the Spirtual State album? Haven't had the chance to listen to that yet.

I have had it ready to listen to since it was released, but on a personal note I've refused to listen to any of it yet because I feel like he'll really be gone if I do. I like the feeling of knowing that I always have new(to me) Nujabes music at my disposal. Been doing the same thing for 2pac for years. Guess I'm somewhat crazy lol.

Nujabes was fantastic and he made really amazing music. The Shing02 collaborations are also great, the Luv(sic) series is wonderful. His early passing was really quite terrible, but at least he's left us so much heavenly music.

Speaking of Samurai Champloo, the wholse OST is just crazy good. As is the show itself. :D

I listen to it a lot, discoverd him with Samurai Champloo too, later found some nice artists too, but none as good as Nujabes, it's really sad we won't hear more of his music :C
