Yeah, but that percussion. It's pretty minimal, yet atmospheric DnB, and has a dark menacing quality, so 'evil' is probably justifiable, although not a word I'd use. Personally I'm glad he's done something a bit fiercer than normal.

I was a bit wary first time I saw the video, but I bought the ep anyway, and it's a definate grower. I think the video fit's the track pretty well, has the same mood, and feel. Mind you, I wish there were a couple more tracks.
