So... Drum And Bass. Yeh.
This track is quite amazingly fine, very minimal and very subtle but very rump-shaking also. It's like richie hawtin built a time machine, went to japan in the year 2050, then came back with a tacky tourist-sword and D'n'B message for mankind. Awesome.

"ni Ten Ichi Ryu" - name of the two swords techniqoue invented by Musashi Miyamoto, the finest samurai of ancient Japan. the proper meaning - "Techniqoue of Two Worlds". Musashi waas one unbeaten man in hostory, in official chronicles he has over 70 fights noticed, he won every single of them. he died as an old man, but before that he wrote a book called "Go Rin No Sho', which can be translated as " The Book of Five Rings". in the book he explained how to act like a samurai, how to lead proper life, and , in the last chapter, he wrote about "Ni Ten" techniqoue, and how to end and win a fight without using a weapon.
To this day no one can use this technique, tho there are some chronicles where you can finc some aspects of it - yet its not the full concept, and probably it will stay in this shape.
Nowadays, besides martial arts school, the "Go rin..." is used in big companies interested in selling/purchasing as a practice book.
Photek has strong connection to martial arts, therefore some of his works have connections to these arts - on Modus Operandi one track inspired by ninja warriors, called "The Fifth Column", on second album track inspired by Kurosawa film "seven samurai" and titled like the film. Photek havs also a dog, which is called "Yoshimitsu" after one of characters from another Kurosawa film ( photek didnt said which one ).
"Ni Ten Ichi Ryu" was released on vinyl as an EP, it has white cover with 3 Japanese ideograms which means exactly "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu". The EP is very very raren owadays.
The guy who played the samurai in the clip can be also noticed in film called "Samurai Fiction" - a comedy about samurai adventures. In the film the guy is fighting with a sword, yet hes doesnt use "Ni Ten" technique - it was used only once, for clip purposes.
