A compilation of tracks by like-minded artists, focusing primarily on unreleased tracks, digital-only releases, and hard-to-find vinyl tracks. Featuring 45trio, GAGALE, HF International, Kazumi Kaneda, Lamp, Kutiman, and others—this compilation features 13 tracks by 13 artists representing Japan’s modern Japanese New Jazz, hip-hop jazz, jazz-funk, Brazilian crossover, groovy reggae, and talkbox-infused mellow sounds. The track B7 (sample 3)—a soulful talkbox cover of “A Song for You” by Golden Throat Note feat. Mariko Nakabayashi—is outstanding. This song, originally a classic by Leon Russell and made famous by the Carpenters’ magnificent rendition, is a global hit. (Original Japanese text by COMPUMA)
