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,
