I'm recovering after hip surgery and was suffering a pretty bad muscle spasm. It felt like my upper quad was filled with concrete. So my nurse recommended I look up some relaxing music and focus on my breathing until the meds kicked in. I found this album through a Tycho song and decided to give it a listen. By the time I hit "Footsteps" I didn't even feel the spasms anymore. Even if it was the drugs, I choose to believe the music here really got me through that.

[@pazdewestafalia]

"Nana" 09:41 samples "Ponta de Areia" by Milton Nascimento and Fernando Brant. The original song depicts life around the old railroads of Minas Gerais towards Bahia, towards the sea. It is a beautiful eulogy to a past long lost but still lingering. I wonder what Vanilla meant by sampling it. Anyway I'm glad I found this album and could figure out this reference. Hope you all have a nice day.

Kenichiro Nishihara is also sort of carrying the torch of Nujabes if you enjoy the more jazz-like composition of his. There are still some nice beats behind some of Nishihara’s songs as well though. He also makes music with many of Nujabes former features like Cis Starr and Substantial.
