The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked is an album by Japanese band Boris. This album, unlike most of the previous output of the past few years, is more of a drone/ambient album. It's also one of the first Boris releases completely devoid of any vocals. The album also doesn't feature any drumming, so it's relatively unknown what Atsuo could be contributing to this release. The song "A Bao A Qu" has a similar intro to the one featured on Soundtrack from Film "Mabuta no Ura", but otherwise is a completely different song.
It was released in a one-time pressing of 550 copies on vinyl by the Finnish label Kult of Nihilow. In 2006 this was revealed to be a series of albums with the release of The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked 2 and The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked 3. And on 2013, the album was remastered on the boxset The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked - Chonicle.

Famous quotes containing the words solomon and/or overlooked:
“I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys. As a lily among brambles, so is my love among maidens. As an apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Song of Solomon 2:1-3.
“There was not a tree as far as we could see, and that was many miles each way, the general level of the upland being about the same everywhere. Even from the Atlantic side we overlooked the Bay, and saw to Manomet Point in Plymouth, and better from that side because it was the highest.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
