The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked

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:

    The Jew is neither a newcomer nor an alien in this country or on this continent; his Americanism is as original and ancient as that of any race or people with the exception of the American Indian and other aborigines. He came in the caravels of Columbus, and he knocked at the gates of New Amsterdam only thirty-five years after the Pilgrim Fathers stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock.
    —Oscar Solomon Straus (1850–1926)

    Art is only a means to life, to the life more abundant. It is not in itself the life more abundant. It merely points the way, something which is overlooked not only by the public, but very often by the artist himself. In becoming an end it defeats itself.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
