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.
