i would say yes. if you're looking for freaked out drum n bass, look
into his album "love, pussycats & carwrecks", which was out around the
time "carmen" came out. the beats are quite disjointed & quite teasing
throughout the disc.
the other 2 albums are more mellow (although quite great).

"designs & mistakes" is my favorite drill n bass album of all times,
whatever that could mean. (then again, u-ziq & squarepusher never
really meant much to me.) lots of groovy piano/keyboard samples,
frantic beats that get more screwed up as the album goes (the insane
"eggshell" alone is worth the pricetag) as well as more straightforward
but highly chilled breaks, instantly catchy tunes -- i would even say it
ranks up there in my ninja top 3 (the other 2 being mr. tobin's
bricolage & mr. porcini's hed phone sex, but what do i know!). & now
that you mention "cooked", i think i'll just go hunt it down (i've seen
it used! hah!) because it's probably excellent.
as for ninja tune being the forgotten drum n bass label... they tried,
but their d+b has always been quite non-standard (which is good but not
very popular) & for some reason they've never gotten the press they deserve.
