All those luxury sports cars he owns takes $$$ in upkeep. Just kidding. I don't think it would be that bad making a good lp that might be a little more varied. Especially when you still have the creative freedom to still put work out on your own label. Most electronic artists that are on Virgin get licensed to Astralwerks...Daft Punk seemed like the exception.

Definitely, get Modus Operandi Lp, Hidden Camera Ep, Form & Function has a nice variety of old & remixed. Rings Around Saturn/UFO ep Traenon on Op Art! I absolutely love the Plaid remix of Studio Pressure (Photek) - Relics [Certificate 18] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
