Here is the Skint discography:

SKINT   7 Req's Garden EP  12" Vinyl
SKINT  14 Subculture       12" Vinyl
BRASSIC 3 One              LP/CD
BRASSIC 7 Frequency Jams   LP/CD 

One is their best release imo.  I wish I could say that Frequency Jams
is as good as One, but it's too far out...  i.e. I'm not sure I get his
message.  It's a great lo-fi sound collage, but there is too much of
that, not enough melody to hum along.

I'm not aware of any other stuff from Req.  Anybody else?
