The name of the album is KI-OKU. DJ Krush lays down the beats and scratches while Toshinori Kondo plays trumpet over it. It's very downbeat. Cool lounge sound to it. It gets a little repetitive but overall a good disc to pull off the shelf once in awhile. I discovered it a year or two ago when I posted here that I was enjoying Koop and wanted recommendations for CDs with a similar feel to it. I think JoePak/Ratdog suggested it to me. Murf Now Playing:

Is it all lo-fi and soft like Eric's Trip? I always loved that band, but never got past owning a couple LP's. I'm listening to sice Caliban mentioned him.
