The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked
The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked is the seventh album by Japanese experimental band, Boris. This album, unlike most of the previous albums over of the past few years, is more oriented towards drone and ambient genres. It's also one of the first Boris releases completely devoid of any vocals, and the first one that doesn't feature any kind of drumming. The album was released in a one-time pressing of 550 copies on vinyl by the Finnish label Kult of Nihilow.[1]
