Nujabes was really an incredible artist. Over the past few years my taste in music has changed pretty dramatically, but I've never stopped listening to his music.

Do you know many artists with a similar style to his? It'd be great to have some new stuff to put on my iPod.

If you haven't heard of, you should definitely check out Umaya Hiroto. A Son of the Sun and its sequel are two great chillhop albums.

In that same genre, there's also Blazo (a personal fave after Hiroto and Nujabes), LJones, Sinutus Tempo, and SoulChef's instrumental work.

Cheers! I know about Uyama Hiroto but I haven't heard of any of the others! Looks like my night's sorted!

The world didn't even know what it lost when he died. :[

And every now and then there will be a track that accesses that same part of my musical soul, but I can't think of anything off the top of my head.
