R.I.P. Seba Jun

R.I.P. to the man known best as Nujabes....

http://hydeout.net/hydeout/2010/03/_hydeoutproductions.html

According to what it says...

"Late night on Feb 26th 2010, in the Minato Ward of Tokyo, there was an accident on the expressway. He was rushed by ambulance to a hospital in Shibuya, where they were unable to restart his heart."

This personally makes me really quite sad, as Nujabes and his music have always had a special place with me. I'm sure that like with many others, he was my introduction into this realm of jazzy hip-hop that I'm so infatuated with, and for that I thank him.

I was able to meet him once, working at the Tribe/Guinness Record shop in Shibuya, but damn, I wish I had talked to him some more. I always figured I would just see him again someday. I guess the next time I made it to Tokyo I'll be going to his grave to offer incense. That's just really really sad to think about....

Take care my friend, and rest in peace. 成仏が出来るように

Whoa, I originally downloaded this kind of reserved thinking it wasn't gonna be up to much and whatever, but jeez I'm SO glad I copped this one up! I have no idea who Re:Plus is, but this collection of music is nothing short of amazing. Sol by Cise Star is one of the dopest tracks I've heard all year with a kind of bossa nova production on the beat. So cool...and just check out the track names and artists if you need more convincing!! Don't sleep on this!! Props to the original uploader, 95rpm from the S&S forum!!

PS: If we get shut down, apparently that will be it. Though I will reupload the Shiro Sagisu series to the Jpopsuki private tracker..that's it though.

A new album from K-Murdock of Panacea. I'm a huge fan of Panacea and they're easily in my top 3 all time favourites along with Binary Star and The Sound Providers aka Captions. Thankfully though Panacea has been pretty consistent with releases, and even though this is a solo album it doesn't disappoint in the least. Great album with great production and great lyrics. Just...perfect in my opinion. Can anybody top this in 2010?! We'll have to wait and see.
Props to the original uploader!!!

Well, there you have it. The first blog to ever post all of the Shiro Sagisu collections and the Loren and Mash collections! This is the final album I have to upload from that series, so I hope that you have all enjoyed this amazing journey into British soul music that for a large part still remains a mystery to many. I do own all of the actual CDs in mint condition with the booklets and lyrics included, and I suppose if there was enough motivation or request I could scan those and upload them as well. But until then I remain too lazy..sorry! Enjoy!!
