Nautiloid Experience / Introducing

Welcome to the Flip Series. It's a new series where a group or an artists are sharing an album together.

Japanese Jazz trio Nautilus are starting with the A-Side. Label head Oonops is working with them since 2017 and this is their eighth common project. He selected two of his favourite tunes from Nautilus back archive which are called In The Rain - a cover version of an old soul classic by The Dramatics from 1971 as well as Kudu by Eddie Henderson from 1976 (both previously only available on the Japanese market). Additionally there are three new cover versions which Oonops desired to get arranged: "Manhã" by Azymuth, The Bottle by Gil Scott-Heron and Be Thankful For What You Got by William DeVaughn! All classics and new reinterpreted in the typical Nautilus way.

For the flip side Oonops selected his favourite tunes by traditional Japanese singer Anna Sato & Nautilus drummer Toshiyuki Sasaki. They released two common digital albums named Message & Message 2 - Reincarnation and now found on this mini sampler on 12"-vinyl for the first time.
