I count seven names plus Black Dog Productions plus The Black Dog plus
Echo Mike. This just from Bytes, not the discog,which I think is more
densely populated with aliases. Maybe BDP are like Reload and come up
with a new name each time they start drinking a different lite beer.
It's funny to see these little collectives get greedy and start trying to
take credit for what had been semi-anonymous work. Maybe GC are having a
little spat too. At least the Plaid ep is infinitely better than Spanners
so we need not be too upset about the BD, but the idea of there never
being another 76 14 is pretty horrifying. :(
