Actually, their (technical) restriction is 4 channels.

My comment on this: went to an Aphex live performance in Leeds about a
couple of years ago, and next to the mixing desk there was a DAT machine
with a timer ticking up. 3 explanations:
1)This was a bomb ticking to doom
2)It was recording the gig
3)It was playing back the gig
Make ya choice. Of course, it was a great gig, and highly irrelevant
whether it was pre-recorded or not. I prefer to think it was just Aphex
playing back pre-recorded tracks from Pro-Tools.

the kao-tic harmony 12" on transmat (i think it's still in print) has
the unedited version of icon on the flip. this is a longer, more
emotional track with lots of pitch bending and live-sounding playing
that is far, far, far superior to the truncated version on the innovator
comp.
anyone into ambient-anything should pick up this record: the way that
icon and kao-tic harmony complement each other is really astounding.
derrick deserves five mics in the source magazine for this record alone!
