Like KRS-1? :)

This isn't true. It's as much a compilation as 'Transmitting from Heaven'
or 'Instinct Dance' is. Otherwise, why would the track called "Carceres ex
Novum" by Xeper on 'Bytes' be credited as "Xeper! (Remix)" by Black Dog on
the 'Trance Europe Express' compilation? The tracking is goofy because the
"Phil (x)" tracks (credited to Echo Mike) are tracked with the longer
tracks (which annoys me to no end). The use of pseudonyms is nothing new in
dance music. There are only three guys in Black Dog Productions, which, if
I'm counting right, makes seven possible combinations. There are eight
"groups" credited on 'Bytes' (Atypic, Balil, Close Up Over, Discordian
Popes, Echo Mike, I.A.O, Plaid, and Xeper), which leads me to believe that
the group names don't even represent differing lineups within the band.
Your "reputible source" has been hoodwinked.
