Nujabes is here to stay; 6 years after his unfortunate death and 11 (!) years after the release of Modal Soul, the album still sounds like no other album created ever since. Modal Soul doesn't sound dated whatsoever, actually, it still sounds refreshing, like something new, which is an impressive accomplishment.

Intro
On February 26, 2010, Jun Seba, better known as Nujabes, tragically died in a traffic accident. Efforts to revive him were to no avail, and the producer was pronounced dead the same night. Seba had been making music since 1996, dropping albums like Metaphorical Music and a soundtrack for the critically acclaimed anime series Samurai chanpurû. His 2005 album, Modal Soul is Nujabes’ most popular and best album; the ultimate embodiment of chillhop and instrumental hip hop as a genre. People featured on the album include CYNE and Fat Jon.
Songs
Feather has to be one of the best and most intruiging album opening songs ever. Feather is one of Nujabes' best productions, consisting of two samples: these drums and this piano melody. These instrumentals immediately set the tone for the album, it gives a weird kind of melancholic vibe, but not in necessarily in a negative way. Cise Starr and Akin from CYNE jumped on the track and both deliver with splendid lyricism ('Centimetres of ether, I'm heating the speaker / Motivational teacher with words that burn people') and laidback flows that match the track perfectly. The next track, Ordinary Joe, sort of flips Terry Callier's 1972 original and makes it a completely new song. The drums on the song are absolutely beautiful, and it's awesome to hear how Nuja completely crafted a new beat around the oriiginal song. The 3rd song in the album is the well known Reflection Eternal, an absolute gem. Here he samples Noriko Kose's I Miss You, speeding it up in the process to make it sound more like a hiphop beat. The vocals are pretty simple ('hair piled up / piled up high / hair piled up / piled up high / you're a flower / you're a river / you're a rainbow') but in some weird way Nujabes' pulls it off; the lyrics add to the songs cohesiveness. The fact that the lyrics are pretty catch as well, is another plus.
The next song is Luv(Sic) Part. 3, which is a heavy-hitter, just like all other Luv(Sic) songs. Nujabes creates the same vibe he did on Feather, which is something he was very good in; bringing up certain emotions with a song. The piano is very well chosen and fits Shing02's lyrics perfectly. Shing02 brings some very nice bars, the best one being 'It's funny how the music put times in perspective / Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it'. After this comes Music is Mine, a beautiful instrumental jazz piece that serves as some sort of a middle piece in the album; the song is very bombastic, but gives off a very smooth vibe at the same time. Next up is Eclipse, featuring Substantial. This song is about a long distance relationship, and how Substantial feels empty when his girl is not with him. Substantial flows well, and gives this sad vibe to the song, which he does really well. Nujabes samples this track and it elevates the beat from just a decent beat to an amazing beat.
Eclipse is followed by The Sign, featuring Pase Rock. Pase Rock doesn't rap on this song, but gives some sort of commentary or speech on 'the signs' all around us. The Sign might not be the most famous song on the album, but in my opinion it's definitely one of the best songs on the album; sentences like 'So I'm in the middle of the street talkin' to the signs / and people are lookin' at me pointing and laughing / like 'this mothafucker's crazy!' / but do they not see the signs? / do you not see the signs?' really resonate with me for some reason that is really hard to explain. The ignorance around us, the xenophobia, the racism; all are factors that poison our society and make us lose faith in mankind as a whole. For me, this is one of the only songs in Nujabes' entire oeuvre in which the featuring artist overshadows the beat Nujabes made. This doesn't mean the instrumentals are bad, I just think Pase Rock's speech is beautiful. The follow-up, Thank You featuring Apani B Fly, is another nice song, with a smooth beat, and nice lyrics. It's a shame I haven't really heard from Apani B Fly after 2004, because I really like the way she uses her voice. It kind of picks up the pace again, which will play an important role in the next song, World's End Rhapsody, which is very oddly paced for Nujabes' standards. This song is not very Nujabes-like; the outlines are the same (piano loop, sample of a '70s record), but the little details make it sound quite different to the rest of the album (the intro and the outro for example). After this, Modal Soul comes into play, doing what Nujabes does best; giving a modern twist to jazzy songs. To me, Modal Soul always feels like a build up for the next song, which is the best song on the album in my opinion: Flowers. Sampling vocals by Dinah Washington and using John Hicks' After The Morning for the loops, Nujabes creates a wonderful atmosphere for this songs that completely sucks you in. Everything in the song is there for a reason: the little chops in the loops, the vocals, the drums, the weird sounds; it all makes the record sound really surreal and dreamy.
Next up is Sea of Cloud, and from now on the album doesn't have vocals anymore. Sea of Cloud is mellow, peaceful, and is a nice transition to the next two songs. Light on the Land is equally peaceful and very ingenious; the distant high tones that sound like birds and the mysterious flute throughout the song are very cool and give the song a cool new layer. Modal Soul closes out with the magnificent 7-minute song Horizon, which finally ends our trip through the jazzhop world that Nujabes created.
Where does Modal Soul stand in the landscape of hip hop?
Modal Soul Nujabes Download Torrent Full
Nujabes has a very original and distant style. Even the people that followed him in his jazzhop style like DJ Okawari and Bonobo still sound very different. Nujabes is here to stay; 6 years after his unfortunate death and 11 (!) years after the release of Modal Soul, the album still sounds like no other album created ever since. Modal Soul doesn't sound dated whatsoever, actually, it still sounds refreshing, like something new, which is an impressive accomplishment. Even after his sad demise, Nujabes still inspires massive amounts with his emotional music. May the godfather of jazzhop rest in peace.
Edit: oh my god. I'm overwhelmed by all the responses! I got gilded for the first time in my life, and all the reactions have been unreal. Love <3
Edit 2: Man, 2K upvotes, this is insane! I got an offer by someone to start a similar series on a blog, but don't worry - I will keep doing the 'Why is it so good?' series on youtube, although not once a day (I don't want to bore you guys). I'll post links to my articles on there as well (this also gives me the opportunity to do some on albums that I can't do on here, such as Illmatic and The College Dropout); suggestions are still welcome!
