Yep i agree totally, i was getting fed up of hearing how great Photeks latest was, i mean sometimes i respect the guy but this track is shite. It just goes on and on and bloody on and doesnt do shit, the guy cant write tunes for toffee. However i did think the video was okay, i mean i like kung fu n all, still, think of all the time he sat around caned going 'yeah.. yeah.. and then, and then i want 'im to like jump in the air and chop this geezers head off and piss down that birds throat......' he could of spent that time finishing the song. Wish i could have a video.

You can pick up the 12" for UKP2.99 here which is pretty good. _Ni-Ten-Ichi-Ryu_ is evil stuff. Extremely good. The video is wicked as well.

Uh, *was* there a _Ginger_ EP? I know there was a _Pepper_ 12" (Warp) which had a not-so good remix by Jochem and a bubbly, up-tempo house mix of _Beam Me Up!_ on the flip. || [CiM] || simonw@ftp.com || http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Alley/4492/

Pardon my stupidity, but what's "evil" about a bare-bones Drum n' Bass track that doesn't have much more going on than the percussion? And what's "wicked" about a couple of black & white Samurai swinging two swords around and running about? Over here across the pond, the consensus in the AMP viewing audience was that "Ni-Ten-Ichi-Ryu" was mediocre and the video was pointless. Maybe it's an English thing, - Greg

hm.. A friend of mine said that the Photek video was the only video worth watching on that particular AMP show. -- __ __\ \ Aurafix aka Hillie / PHD ^ DAMONES / /_\ \ http://www.clark.net/pub/buh/index.html \_____/ >> buh@clark.net >> < > .. >> .<>> >> > , m7= Do re mi fa so la ti ..
