"Samurai" (the Pantone album) is another compilation album for Jazztronik
that pieces together the highlights from the last two Jazztronik albums and
"Horizon" EP (maybe there aren't any tracks from this). The idea behind this
is very very similar to the "Inner Flight" compilation that came out through
Counterpoint.
All the songs on "Nu Balance" were previously found on the "Nu Balance
Session" CDEP's in Japan but were discontinued. Japan hasn't had those
tracks for awhile so Flower decided to reissue the CDEP's again as a whole
album now and a bonus. It's really a shame that "Samurai" doesn't have
anything new to offer but I have to keep in mind that a lot of people don't
have the Japanese releases. Just would have been a little bonus... The
artwork looks nice, good one Mitch.
All the best,
Jason
