It does surprise me to read electronic fans you meet overlook Tubby because,
well, most anyone into electronic music in New Zealand seems to at least know
and accept the impact of reggae, and thus gives due respect to what Tubby did.

PS. I don't mean to make reference to the fact I'm in New Zealand in every
second post, this time it was strictly relevant. :-) 3 and a half hours til
the new year here... hope the sky clears up some so that we _are_ actually the
first people to see the dawn. A bit of ol' 'Armagideon Time' seems appropriate
