New Beginnings (Reloaded & Remixed)
This is a reconstruction of New Beginnings, a cassette mix that was compiled by Nitsua in 2010. Released in January of 2011, it was a promotional compilation tape that served as a sampler for Visioneternal, Nitsua's music label, and was recorded directly from vinyl records to cassette. Very few were produced and were only for sale on the Visioneternal website for a limited time. It showcases the deep spiritual style of jazz that Nitsua drew inspiration from, even including some tracks that were used as samples for his songs. According to Nitsua, this mix was also heavily inspired by Nujabes' Tribe Sampler Vol. 1 which has also been reconstructed here:

Unfortunately the recorded quality of the New Beginnings tape is not the best and the sound is very low fidelity, which is why this Reloaded & Remixed version has been created. I believe the original mix to be an astoundingly excellent selection of "spiritual jazz" that deserves to be heard in the highest quality reasonably possible. All reloaded tracks have been sourced from the original release, both compact disc and vinyl record when a high quality CD isn't available. Each track has been meticulously re-mixed into the exact fashion originally constructed by Nitsua, including any gaps in between each track. If you have enjoyed Tribe Sampler Vol. 1 by Nujabes, I can assure that you won't be disappointed by this beautiful selection of music.
