DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo - Ki Oku - Full Album (1996)
Simply one of the most consistent fusions of jazz/trip-hop. Miles Davis would be proud.
Pairing DJ Krush, known throughout the beat underground for his subdued, trippy soundscapes, with Japanese avant trumpeter Toshinori Kondo may seem an odd pairing. This record, however, is instantly knowable and intuitively easy to grasp.
