his first ambient album was 'image' released on his own skintone label and then over here via Leaf, its got some lovely acoustic ambient stuff with very odd vocals and as have most of his albums released on skintone his own artwork. the second ambientish album is 'magic thread' also on skintone then Leaf and probably my favourite. if you like sakura i'd recommend them both... does his artwork get him a shout as most idmest artist ?
