Ki-Oku (記憶 memory) is a collaboration album between DJ Krush and Toshinori Kondo. Both are experienced musicians in their particular genre, with DJ Krush being one of Japan's most successful DJs, and Toshinori Kondo being a well-respected trumpeter specializing in avant-garde jazz.
The album is set out in a unique way, with ten "proper" tracks and three short interludes (entitled Tobira 1, 2 and 3). The album also features a distinctive cover of Sun Is Shining, which was originally written and performed by Bob Marley.
So far this has been their only collaboration and neither musician has revealed plans for a second album.
The album was generally well received by critics, with Allmusic saying:
In 2015, Fact Magazine ranked the album at 25 on its list of "The 50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time."
