Of course, comparison with volume II is inevitable. In overall quality, and also instrumentally, they are eminently similar and there isn't much to say here that I didn't say for volume II. The vocals here are perhaps a bit less adventurous, yet there are a few tracks where I found they really let down the instrumentals. The atmosphere is perhaps a little more uniform here but remains o so sweet, Nujabessy and aerial. This collection is also a lot more frontloaded than the first one. Almost all of the tracks that felt more strikingly appealing were in the first half, until out of nowhere the last two tracks (and the conclusion track which is largely a continuation of the intro tracks) were among favourites again. Solid and probably a good record to play in full when you want some Nujabes beats to work/study to. 4.1
