As a producer, Nujabes has grown a lot in my opinion from 2003 to 2005 when he released the said product. Nujabes has always had a cool jazz influence over his beats, and thankfully that hasn't changed. The beats he crafted for this LP are all A Grade. The few emcees he chose to rap over some select gems aren't the best, but they flow over his tracks like they've worked with him since 89. From American underground artists like Cise Starr and Substantial to Japanese talent like Shing02 and Uyama Hiroto, each featured artist brings something special to the track to make it shine. It'd be hard for me to pick a few standout tracks because of the amazing job Nujabes does to weave all of the songs together. Without a doubt, I believe this is the best work Nujabes has done.

I know that not many people will get the chance to experience some these very impressive beats, and that's a shame. If Nujabes were to release some of his stuff in America and work with some of the artists who have a stable fanbase, there's no doubt in my mind that he'd be one of the premier producers this side of the western hemisphere. But maybe he's not doing it for the fame? Maybe he's just doing it to make good music. I don't know. Either way, I hope he doesn't make me wait too long for the next LP. Get this album however you can.

It is definitely a jazzy\smooth hip hop album that brings out various emotions in their music, do check this out. Do not sleep on this talented dj.
