Ok, you got me. But I'd say that GC and Amazon Amenity or Chameleon or
whatever its called this week, are definitely an exception to the rule.
I think 'techno band' is a bit of a narrow definition for GC after hearing
Secret Knowledge, Jedi Knights etc. GC are special because they are
brilliant and influential at whatever they turn their hand to.
But back to the original point, you can't claim that Orbital had
any influence now, can you?
