I played all three records on a brand new Uturn Orbit "Special" turntable, their higher-end offering.

According to Shing02's official Facebook page, the instrumental to what would eventually be part 6 was discovered on Seba's cell phone a few weeks after his death. com/en/Pop-Various/Soundtracks/Various-Samurai-Champloo-The-Way-Of-The-Samurai-Vinyl-Collection-Purple-Vinyl-09544030. His music is known for a strong cool jazz influence, frequently using samples from artists like Miles Davis and Yusef Lateef.

Seba's label Hydeout Productions released a tribute album titled Modal Soul Classics II featuring a number of former collaborators and with lyrics and song titles that reference Seba's work. Co-founder Gus Navarro remarked that, "The music of the late producer Nujabes is something to hold onto and never let go.

Side A also had an abnormal amount of surface noise and eventual dirty on my stylus on the first playing even after a wet cleaning. It's somewhat odd at times hearing only one of the artists per side, instead of more a story-like performance given in the 3xLP release, though it also gives you more of a set listening environment for longer. Before his tragic death in a car accident in 2010, beat-maker Nujabes was renowned as one of Japan's best exponents of hip-hop/jazz fusion. In 2020, Logic cited Nujabes as a key inspiration behind his production style alongside MF DOOM, RZA and Kanye West in the track "Perfect" from his album No Pressure. Jun Seba ( Japanese: 瀬葉 淳, Hepburn: Seba Jun, February 7, 1974 – February 26, 2010), better known by his stage name Nujabes ( ヌジャベス, Nujabesu), was a Japanese record producer, audio engineer, DJ, composer and arranger best known for his atmospheric instrumental mixes sampling from hip hop, soul, and jazz, as well as incorporating elements of trip hop, breakbeat, downtempo, and ambient music.

Seba released two studio albums during his lifetime: Metaphorical Music (2003) and Modal Soul (2005), while the album Spiritual State was released posthumously in 2011.

Only thing I noticed, side C, "World Without Words", on the Jin LP, had quite noticeable inner groove sounding distortion on the higher end claps. com/en/Hip-Hop-Rap/Various-Samurai-Champloo-The-Way-Of-The-Samurai-Vinyl-Collection-Purple-Vinyl-09544030.On Bandcamp, the New York-based Digi Crates records released a series of tribute albums performed by various artists in a style reminiscent of Seba's. Sometimes you just know that a master was mixed/pressed for vinyl and this one is one of those pressings. Part 6 was not among the previously completed tracks, but it was released on February 26, 2013, on the third anniversary of Seba's death. It seems the artwork has been taken from original the CD-release, and not been properly brought to 12" size having maintained the details and punchy colours. Have listened for many versions of Battlecry and Aruarian Dance, including the CD but this is by far the best in my opinion.
