My Favorite drumnbass album

"found this odd little cd buried somewhere in a major music store and bought it on a whim due to the "sounds like photek and aphex twin" sticker on it. it turns out a couple years later this still stands up as my favorite drumnbass album, and I used it as my primary demo cd when purchasing my latest stereo system. the uneven but strangely addicting rhythms, the excellent sound quality, and odd noises can put you in a hypnotic state. this is also clearly superior to icarus' other main release "fijaka" but perhaps not quite as good as parts of icarus' more difficult to find "squid ink," which is so experimental i wouldn't consider it drumnbass at all."

Incredible album for dreary cultured ambient D'n'B

"This album is amazing! The textures that this duo came up with are intriguing. The mix of soundscapes and odd instrumentation are beautiful like touring the country of Japan in a speedtrain on an over-cast day. I picked this album up when it came out and had it stolen but something in the back of my brain begged me to buy it again. To this day it is a source of inspiration. During every listening session I find some nuance that I had missed before. Kamikaze isn't for everyone and should only be picked up by the most open minded and machine loving audiophile."
