I tried out Samurai (the whole album) before Adult came out. I wasn't particularly moved by more than two or three of the tracks. I've also got a PE'Z remix album where one of the tracks was remade by a member of Jazztronik, and I don't consider that track to be among the highlights of the album.
If trip-hop and jazz could ever be mixed admirably, I don't think Jazztronik has quite found the formula (they just have good or bad accidents - Muddy Muddy being one of the good accidents). I'd rather listen to those genres separately.
I wouldn't mind hearing Shiina Ringo doing something like Colour Of Days though.
