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:
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
“In our great concern about the mental health of children, however, we have overlooked the mental health of mothers. They have been led to believe that their children’s needs must not be frustrated, and therefore all of their own normal angers, the normal ambivalences of living, are not permissible. The mother who has “bad” feelings toward her child is a bad mother.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
