If there was ever was an album that has been overlooked by the world it would have to be Ninja Academy's Bra'ka dOm. It has a simple concept, Drum and Bass... but its done well enough that you forget that its only 2 instruments. It just kicks ass all the way around even if you don't notice till the end, that you liked it

Just hearing the track "Your Kung Fu Sucks!" makes you want to jump and do something crazylike. This is probably the first song that I heard from them, years and years ago, the video made me laugh.

Instumentals most of the time can either kick ass or just be tedious. But listening to "Hunt for the Manipurans" makes it seem like playing Ninja Gaiden and your really living it. For the most part its smooth and subtle till after sometime it just kicks in and tears you up out of nowhere.

Usually I do a third song with a video, but I couldn't find one that wasn't ridiculous and moronic... so I'm just gonna have to direct you to the bands website. There is a link to them a few paragraphs back so enjoy.

But if you were interested in the song I wanted to list, it was called "Ninja Ho Down". I love that song, I remember when I first saw them way back when they played this song, and they had some dude on stage dressed in a robe that just said "if you smoke like me you be high everyday". That made me laugh so hard, not to mention that the rest of the band was all dressed like ninjas during the whole show. Well except for the girl that dressed up like a Geisha and did a fan dance when she wasn't playing the Taiko drum. Literally one of the most memorable shows I have ever seen in my life.

I wish they would comeback... so that is why I'm gonna ask that my friend Lee of Pinata Hour fame have them on his show.

Also don't forget that good music is everywhere but on the radio or TV... so having read this remember to PASS IT ON
