i can't imagine where you got the idea that i was some sort of
self-appointed messiah for the cause of YAP-ness... i mean, he's good,
but i wouldn't even give the debut 5 stars... it definitely has its
moments tho.

He's signed to Geffen. Not under a different name - it will still be
Young American Primitive.

there's not that much gear on this album! i wonder why people think
it sounds so exotic? it's really just one sampler, one analog synth
and a korg wavestation. all through a LINE mixer, no less...
btw, YAP has done a remix for Deluxe (ex-IDM list guy Jeff Taylor).
it's on a 12" single called FUTURA. check it out.
