A couple of his other guises are: Homecookin - more straight-up housey stuff on Sole Music. There's an album and a few 12"s out. To be honest I find some of it a little hit and miss but there are some great tracks on there... Opaque - apart from a 12" on Archive (Malice/Closing the Loop) I think he's used this name mainly for remixes. Probably the most essential is his mix of P'Taah's 'Crossing' on Ubiquity - a true broken beat anthem. Also check his mix of Beatless's 'Life Mirrors' on Ubiquity, and his mix of Plutonia's 'Forever' on Visions. Seiji is one part of the massive Bugz in the Attic collective. A couple of his collaborations with Orin Walters are pretty essential - 'Life on Venus' on Afronaught's 'Shapin Fluid' album is awesome, in the same kind of vein as 'Silver Blossom' on 2000 Black - big soundtrack-type strings, hard beats, deep junglist bass. Also the Orange Water 10" on Archive includes 'Love Life', another amazing piece from Seiji and Orin together... And coming up very soon is Kudu's 'Space/Transit' on Bitasweet - an amazing collaboration between Seiji, Domu and Mark de Clive-Lowe. Absolutely killer, as you'd expect... Give me a shout if you want any more recommendations of other artists in this vein...
