    "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,
