Well, here's the "official" story from the latest Ninja mailout.
<begin quote>
East Flat Bush Project 'Tried By Remixes' Ep (Oct 26th)
I know very little about this project right now, except for the fact that
it contains mixes from The Herbaliser, Autechre, Boards of Canada,
Freestyle, and Squarepusher. That alone spells awesome, no? First 1000
copies to be released on Florida based label, Chocolate Industries. After
that it's a Ninja Tune / Chocolate Industries release.

Doesn't look like they're "stealing" anything from CI. In fact, I'd guess
this will do nothing but *help* 7 & co. Whatevah. I'm sure if there's any
evil corporate consipacy afoot, our local Ninjah rep can verify. Than
again, if it *is* a conspiracy, he'll just deny it anyway... hmmmmmm....
