History
He was signed to the Ninja Tune label in 1997 as The Clifford Gilberto Rhythm Combination as the first non-British act on the label and released an album, titled I Was Young and I Needed The Money and an EP "Deliver the Weird".
He has remixed tracks by Ninja Tune label founders Coldcut, German bands Laub and Studio Grande, Austrian Enduro and French band Red Room. He also soundtracked a film by Belgian filmmaker Pieter van Hees, titled Black XXX-mas.
A new track, "The 10th Victim", appeared on Ninjatune's 2000 compilation Xen Cuts and in 2006, a new track under the pseudonym The Conks appeared as part of a Diesel campaign.
A contributing factor in the delay of his second album appears to be that he also runs a design agency, Hi-ReS!.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To a surprising extent the war-lords in shining armour, the apostles of the martial virtues, tend not to die fighting when the time comes. History is full of ignominious getaways by the great and famous.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
