Worth checking the Hell EP he did with Gravediggaz and the Nearly God album he did with Bjork, Terry Hall and Neneh Cherry amongst others. If he can get close to that level again, I'd be quite happy to hear it, but I'd rather hear him being Tricky than trying to do dubstep. oh yes, the last update ...

...i want the sound of a real darbuka... Yellow Tools - Culture is the best VST for 'offhits' and you can tweak it.
