| > Erm, Brad Stryder is Richard James a la Aphex Twin. Amazing | > release.... | | No, he's not. NME misinformation. There seem to be a lot of other artists "accidently" mislabelled as RDJ, especially when the records that have nothing other than RePhleX marked on them. Is someone trying to make money off selling other artists as RDJ? Who/what is this NME? When I got two Universal Indicator records, TB-303 and TR-606, they had stickers on the sleeve claiming they were Aphex Twin. Once I heard them, I assumed that ol' Rick James had dropped some bad acid, or that the local shop had made a mistake. But then I ran across a Web Page somewhere which also claimed that these same UI disks were Aphex Twin. Evidently, mine weren't the only ones with misleading stickers, so it wasn't the local shop after all. Does anybody have the low-down on this UI scam? Thanks. B
