"Masta" is one of four Samurai Champloo soundtracks. The album kicks things off with 'Vagrancy,' the funky organ tune that is featured so prominently on the Samurai Champloo DVD menus. Given the eclectic nature of the music, an exact genre or musical style is difficult to pin down. "Masta" is a combination of instrumental music that combines jazz, dance, ambient and hip-hop esthetics. Despite Force of Nature playing half the songs and Tsutchie doing the rest, there is a great diversity even within these two entities. For example, 'Loading Zone' is a tribute to 70s funk; 'Paranoid' is trance music under the house banner; 'The Long Way of the Drums' is a fantastic drum piece; 'New Dimension' could qualify as electronica; 'You' is Japanese R&B; As if torn out a page of Medeski Martin and Wood's playbook, 'Numbernine (Back In TYO)' is funky jazz. As if to make an eclectic exclamation mark, the mood ranges as wildly as the genres. The vibe alternates between relaxed, dark, funky, rockin' and tripped out. 'You' is the odd man out on this album. Being the one track with vocals, the R&B sensibility is a stain on otherwise chillin' album. It's hard to imagine that 'You' was one of two singles to be released from the Samurai Champloo series. Comparing "Masta" with the other four Japanese soundtracks, I'd put this in third place. I'd rank them all in the following order: 1) "Departure," 2) "Impression," 3) "Masta" and 4) "Playlist." All in all, "Masta" is colorful ride through urban groove.
