Track List
First press since original release in 2000, Suzuki is the second studio album by Austrian downtempo / trip-hop duo Tosca, released by Studio !K7 and G-Stone Recor- dings in 2000.
Unlike many of Tosca's subsequent releases, Suzuki is essentially an instrumental album, with vocal samples integrated throughout, but in such a way that they become a part of the instrumentation.

Based in Vienna, Austria, at G-STONE Recordings, the project Tosca gained overwhelming popularity with genres such as trip-hop, abstract, dub, and nu-jazz. Following their 1996 album *Opera*, they released their second “Suzuki,” released in 2000, followed their 1996 debut “Opera.” It includes a dedication to Toshitaka Suzuki, a Soto Zen Buddhist monk who moved to San Francisco in 1959 to spread the teachings of “Zen” and had a profound influence on the counterculture. It incorporates elements of dub, hip-hop, jazz, ambient, and psychedelic electronic music. Although there are no vocal tracks, the sound creates a sensation as if the human voice were reaching into a state of heightened awareness; rather than simply being “chill-out,” it offers a deep, energetic soundscape with a rich worldview. Analog reissue. Now in stock. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
