Okay... but it's a bit of a stretch. Back many years ago, one of the two guys from Global Communication used to be in Aphex Twin (yes, "Richard D. James" is not the first Aphex Twin album, and there used to be two of them). So, Aphex is the connection, because there was a collaboration once (well, one official collaboration, hehehe) called "Expert Knob Twiddlers" between rd.james and m.paradinas. As far as I know though, that's the only connection. onnow: jimpster (instinct electronica) Lame Thread Prevention in Effect: Aaron Michelson --------------------------------------------------------------------- aw-teck'r (autechre) "Everything you Know is Wrong" For reviews, interviews, art & trash http://www.on-it.net/~aaron/ aaron@defiant.on-it.net

huh...this is kinda like the "bacon factor" ; ) global communication is tom middleton and mark pritchard with the later being born on the same day as richard james - hence the other "aphex twin". the two record as reload,e621,jedi knights,the horn,the rebus project,link and mystic institute...they also did a remix of "on" from SAW II as reload their projects were collectively refered to by them as "evolution" but now go by "universal language productions" and there is a comp available on warp called _the theory of evolution_ a complete discography is available from the ULP web page: http://www.ulp.co.uk/

for anyone keeping score at home global communication has a bacon factor of 3. as reload they sampled mary elizabeth mastrantonio saying "theres something down there - something not human..." from the movie the abyss for their _collection of short stories_ album. mary elizabeth mastrontonio was in the color of money with tom cruise who in turn was in a few good men with kevin bacon richard james would then have a factor of 4 as reload mixed "on" which would give mike paradinas a factor of 5 as he also remixed "on" for mr. james as well as the collaboration mentioned above

Check out "old_info" from Hyperreal's Aphex ftp-site. It has Ben Middleton (Tom Middleton's brother) telling that Tom was actually the second twin at first, Richard and he did Analogue Bubblebath I (hence the "featuring Schizophrenia" I think...) Well I'll quote that text anyway: His first record was a joint project with himself and my brother for Mighty Force Records (Exeter, Devon) - the Analogue Bubblebath EP (En Trance to Exit was Tom's idea!). There. Regs, .Mikko
