    First album I got (shockingly, my only one at the moment, I get most of my Meth(any) fix on Last FM), was Imaginary Day. I got it for "Follow Me", but it's such a varied album! The track "Imaginary Day" sounds totally inspired by traditional Japanese music, "The Roots of Coincidence" sounds almost like drum and base! (Although it always of the end titles from Blade Runner). I love his mellow stuff, but just goes to show, the guy has got some range!
