Actually, "Samurai" and "Boku" aren't all that similar. The tracks
on "Samurai" are a little longer and more coherant than on "Boku" and he
actually throws in a good helping of delightful melodies. The whole
album just makes me think of kids riding anound on BMX bikes throwing
rocks and breaking things. Personally, "Samurai" is a much stronger album with
a lot more flow. Not to mention you get a cool little bogdan sticker in
the liner notes. phat. I picked it up for $19 u.s. at Record Service in
Champaign, IL. Well worth it.
