Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community - View Single Post - Artist Feature: NUJABES - selected, collected works

Actually, what has come to be my signature method of sharing that what interests/captivates me, I come around just a tad after the opening berth of the exposition of works, then I wait ("bide" obliviously) entirely too long to come around to remembering that I wanted to detail, and share, any particular work/artist long after most people would consider an acceptable 'hinting towards a new find' period.

Truth is, I found out about Nujabes shortly after Modal Soul was released (2005), and have been enjoying his beautiful compositions in (near) secret since then, up 'til now. Also, I have had an idea to start this topic way back in Jan-Feb-March, but kept pushing it off because I didn't know which flash playlist embeddables still work here in the TFP., and also because I didn't know exactly how to structure it. As you've seen, though, I persevered, and eventually came round to finally opening up this feature, and did so in a manner of short, theme-centric playlists for those still unaware (guessing: many here) of who, indeed, Jun Seba was, and what he tried to bring forth to his audience.

One last mention: Manic; when you say you got a hold of his ENTIRE discography, what, exactly, does that entail? Officially, Nujabes released the 'main' line of album chronology for global independent markets, (Metaphorical, Modal Soul, & Mellow Beats, ver.1) and then the accompanying 'mixed/sub' chronology of albums (Hydeout Prod. Collections 1 & 2, + Modal Soul Classics), which of all I've read, could only be purchased through Japanese record shops, as they were only released locally. Plus, there were near or more than a dozen other singles, B-sides, compilations and vinyls that he released through his production company, or whilst collaborating amongst other artists, which include such recored as the Ristorant NUJABES series, along with the flip 'Mellow Beats' album ( called "Mellow Beats, Rhymes And Visions").

I'd be blown away, and beyond impressed, if some record and/or hobby shop actually carried his entire collected works, and that you actually managed to acquire it. I might even ask for the address of where you found it (unless, of course, you somehow stumbled onto a vendor online for those).
