I read an Orb interview a long time ago, it said that Jim Cauty from the KLF
got his idea for Chill Out, from hearing Alex spin at some chill out room
in London. The same article mentioned that Alex invented the chill out
room at some club in London. I have also heard that the KLF stole
drumbeats that Alex came up with, and didn't even credit Alex. I not a
hundred percent on this, but supposedly the Drumbeats on 3am eternal are
LXs. I was very surprised that Alex played something from Chill Out,
perhaps they were his ideas in the first place. Maybe not, I heard him
play a track off Brian Eno's - Apollo at another show, I can't recall the
name of Ending .... something. I know the name, I am just drawing a blank.
He also played the Theme from Shaft.
