I just posted to "breaks" list about this album. I too picked it up 
recently, and am totally in love with it. Its the most hard-ass evil 
drum 'n bass around. I got some responses to my post as to what is 
similar in style, and apparently he's in a class of his own according 
to the knowledgable on the topic, although the stuff on the same 
record label is similar, as well as some stuff on the no u-turn 
label. 
Interesting to note: i don't know when this album came out, but i 
swear there's a sample from the new U2 album on it. There's also a 
very evident sample from Autechre's "Tri Reptae" on it as well.
