Samurai Math Beats

Mathematics strikes back! Reissue of the second of three albums released in 1999 for the Rephlex label, Samurai Math Beats exists somewhere between the outsider jungle mined by labelmates Aphex Twin and Squarepusher (dubbed "drill'n'bass") and the sun-bleached public information music of Warp artists such as Plone and Boards Of Canada. Whilst many listeners at the time were left scratching their heads at the full on collision of hyperkinetic rhythms and arcade game melodies, in many ways the record pointed the way towards future musical mutations, from the frenetic BPMs of footwork to the deconstructed pop music of Mica Levi. Re-cut by Beau Thomas and available on vinyl for the first time since original release.A1 Samurai Masu BiitsuA2 KimiA3 Ahou JikoB1 IaiB2 I Cry, Bai BaiB3 Sayounara TsutaraB4 Nan No Tame Ni Boku ToC1 Miso ShiruC2 Nihon de HomuresuC3 Are Igai Imi Ga NaiC4 Kimi Wa Tsumannai, Boku O IranaiD1 Yari Chuu, Kyouroku IsuuD2 Gaijin Sabetsu, Gaikoku HakuchuumuD3 Why?
