This Week I Bought: Modal Soul by Nujabes

[@aydennso]

As a rock and metal fan, it's in my top 3 albums all time.

as a fellow rock and metal fan, it is definitely my top 3 as well

Nujabes' music means so much to me: It help me get through rough times in life.

Hey there Niko! Yes, I'm here again 😅, but I had to comment on this one. I listened to this album for the first time a year ago, and it immediately became an all time favorite for me. I have never been a fan of jazz/rap, but this album somehow makes it work, just like you said. My fav song is the last one, Horizon, but I also think Luv Sic Pt. 3 is incredible. I found this album on a webpage called besteveralbums, I highly recommend you check it out. Keep doing this section, I find it awesome!

Hey Luis, so glad you're enjoying these videos! They're really fun to make, as you can see I enjoy talking about music 😅I stumbled onto Nujabes about 5 years ago (I think...) after I watched Samurai Champloo (I loved Cowboy Bebop, so when I heard that the director had made another anime but with Hip Hop instead of Jazz, I was like YES!). I forgot to talk about this in the video, but "Horizon" makes me wish that all the tracks on the album were 7-8 minutes instead of 3-4. I hadn't heard of besteveralbums but I'll definitely go check it out! I find a lot of my new music on Bandcamp these days, and it feels good to buy music more directly from the artist.

I agree, I don't usually buy music, but when I do it, I buy it from bandcamp. There's a really unknown band called The Other Favorites, they make bluegrass, and I bought their first album in bandcamp. If you like that genre check them out! One of the two members is called Josh Turner and he has a huge youtube channel, you might already know him.

[@Nikonowincolour]

Oh cool, thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely go give them a listen.

You need to check out J dilla if you have not. He was an influence on Nujabes.

Great video mate have to cop this on vinyl it’s very expensive but worth it imo

[@Gio-cv3uv]

i got it for €49 which is about 55 dollars.

[@aydennso]

@@Gio-cv3uv I saw it on Amazon for over 150 bucks. In my defense, I didn't buy it and it was the only place I was able to find an available copy.

[@Gio-cv3uv]

@@aydennso I bought it at my local record store

@@Gio-cv3uv unfortunately I'm not so lucky
