Fun video, isn't it? It could have used some more character development, but a good first try at a visual representation of his music.

In my opinion, Photek leads the pack as far as drum-n-bass goes. Ni Ten Ichi Ryu is probably the most minimal, stripped-down stuff I've heard of his, but I don't have that much of his material. If you're looking for info, the label he released Ni Ten... on is Science, which has been picked up for distribution by Astralwerks/Caroline (in the US, at least). Other stuff of his to look out for it the Hidden Camera EP, and the Natural Born Killas EP on Metalheadz. It was mentioned here a couple days ago that the Ni Ten.../Hidden Camera EPs were going to be re-released as a set by Astralwerks, so you may want to wait...
