Yeah fair enough. But can I just say that RDJ hardly makes the sitution easy
for the average punter by having about 60 zillion pseudonyms and stuff.
There is no reason for him to make the situation easy for everyone. There is
no reason for him not to have 60 zillion pseudonyms. I think his set up is
pretty cool. But this is the consequence. I think that some people would
like to think that he's so shit hot, he's everybody. That's a bit of a
limiting view really.

I have never confused KK for RDJ. Blame the greedy shops for this. All the
UIs I saw were labeled as Aphex. So what is the average person to think?
I get no kick from speculation. I just thought the two records [plug 1 and
Autobulb] sounded similar and as Rich knows Luke fairly well, I just
wondered if the Plugs had been colaborative in someway. Or vice versa. I'm
not making anything up.
WRT to Warp: I try to be very careful with what I say now, in case people
now, take it too seriously or the wrong way. I failed in this instance.
Sorry. [Well a bit ;)] Ultimately it doesn't matter who is responsible for
any record. Only the tunes count. I have stated my position on music Vs
Hype/Packaging quite forcibly on several previous occasions, and we have the
exactly same opinion.

I can see why. Rumours over Elektroids and Drexciya are also fairly
pointless..... :) BTW. You heard the LP yet?
