notes
This maxi-single features multiple takes and instrumental versions of two great tracks from Capital and DJ Nozawa's groundbreaking debut album "Rain or Shine" (also for sale on CD Baby!).
"The poet of the guitar" - Music Magazine (Japan)
"Capital's songwriting is superb and his voice as smooth as Aaron Neville's" - SF Weekly
"Polycultural masterwork" - SF Bay Guardian
Featured in URB Magazine's "Next 100", April 2000
Not the next Beck, not the next Prince, not the next Zappa, Capital boldly goes where we're all waiting for someone to go...
Paving the way for melodic songwriting in electronic music, Capital draws on blues, funk, jazz, rock, and the traditions of Latin America, Asia and Africa to invent edgy, addictive rhythms and rhymes that shoot off into a new world entirely.
"Rain or Shine" is a duo collaboration with Japan's legendary turntable guru DJ Nozawa, showcasing the DJ's mind twisting beats topped by intense, virtuosic songs written and performed by Capital. Complex, soulful and positive, this work sharpens the cutting edge that Capital and DJ Nozawa have created in their many recordings with Shing02 and the Terracotta Troupe Interground.

This maxi-single kicks!
author: SeattleBeatBoyThese few tracks make me feel awesome! Hard to describe, but the combination of Capital's super-smooth vocals and interesting lyrics layered over the top of DJ Nozowa's sweet beats and electronic sounds sends me into another world every time. This CD rocks. Plus the cover art is excellent.
Fantastic singing!!!!!!!!!
author: The Banana ManCapital and DJ Nozawa have created an outrageously beautiful single. I hear a lot of influences in Capital's singing, but he his own man.
