Nujabes, who passed away in a car accident in Feb 2010, mainly released vinyl singles. This 'Metaphorical Music' was his first album in which he put much effort to complete. Up until now, it has been a beloved masterpiece and also a core of Nujabes and Hydeout Productions.

It includes 'Letter From Yokosuka' the first produced song by Uyama Hiroto, who had been working with Nujabes and his best friend. 'F.I.L.O' was born from a golden collaboration with rapper Shing02 who was featured on the classic hip hop masterpiece 'Luv (sic).' 'A Day By Atmosphere Supreme' is a heart-warming instrumental tune recently covered by Emancipator on his tribute album 'Modal Soul Classics II.' Nujabes' remix version of 'Latitude' features hip hop group Five Deez, from Cincinnati, who had been a professional and personal friend of Nujabes. 'Blessing It (Remix)' features MC Substantial & Pase Rock who had established the foundations of Hydeout with Nujabes. 'Lady Brown' features Cise Star. On 'Kumomi' he put his childhood memories and beautiful sceneries from his memories into sounds. 'The Final View' is a beautiful and fleeting track expressing the aesthetic sense that dwells in the Japanese spirit. Also, there are other classic tunes which can be said to have determined his presence felt into this historical masterpiece. The first chapter of imaginary scenery music from Nujabes' short, but heartwarming life and soul, is now released on vinyl. 2xLP black vinyl. Gatefold. Track List A1 Blessing It (Remix) feat.

GRADING

Yellow Racket assigns condition based on the Goldmine Standard for grading records.
New (N) (Not typically included in the Goldmine Standard)
New records are purchased directly from the label, distributor, or registered wholesaler. Records are still sealed. Jackets may have slight shelf wear, but media has never been played.
Mint (M)
Still sealed. Never played. No observable flaws.  Items have been purchased secondhand.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint (NM) record will play perfectly, with no imperfections during playback. The record should show no obvious signs of wear.
The cover (and any additional packaging) has no creases, folds, seam splits, cut-out holes, or other noticeable defects.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
A Very Good Plus (VG+) record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it.
Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches.
The disc and LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be gently marred by spindle marks, paper scuffs, wrinkled corners, etc.
Very Good (VG)
Many of the defects found in a VG+ record will be more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise will be evident, but will not overpower the music. Disc may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels, jackets, and inserts will have visible cosmetic flaws such as wrinkles, cut-outs, slight splitting, etc. However, it will usually have less than a dozen minor flaws.
Good (G)
A record in Good condition can be played through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise, scratches, and visible groove wear. A cover or sleeve will have seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear, or other defects will be present.
While the record will be playable without skipping, noticeable surface noise and "ticks" will almost certainly accompany the playback. 
Poor (P), Fair (F)
The record may be cracked, badly warped, or won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve may be water damaged, split, or heavily marred by wear and writing.
