System 7 = Steve Hillage + Miquette Giraudy They've also worked with Derrick May and a host of other artists. Apparently Richie Hawtin's mix of 'Alphawaves' is absolutely wicked, but I've never heard it. Or maybe I have, but didn't know it was that mix, I'm lousy with tracktitles etc. :)

Isn't that the album (777 I think it is) that has a track with an *accordeon* (gasp) on it? The lyrics go something like "I, I don't want to be, no stranger". The rest of the album was average, but I actually liked that track :) Otto OnNow: 808 State - 'Revenge of the girlie men'
