It's a guy called Mark Royal. Definitely one of the main characters on this so-called "intelligent" jungle scene. Journalists seem to like him a lot as I've seen quite a few articles about him in the music press. I think it's because they feel they must write about jungle, but they can't really handle the "street flava". So here is a guy that is very intellectual, speaks a lot about musical theory, makes a concept album with a long pretentious name and likes Vangelis and Future Sound Of London. Aahhh... they're home again. It's the good old IDM backyard. - chris@minsk.docs.uu.se <http://www.update.uu.se/~chris/>
