Maybe I'm out of touch, but Wire has hardly ever struck me as a big
magazine of the putting people on the cover to sell ads variety. I figure
putting the VVM folks on the cover is about as over the top commercial as
when they put Steve Stapleton on the cover. Much like us licensing the
E.F.B release from Chocolate Industries, there's really no 'big'
commercial interest involved here. We all thought the original was
wicked, and that it would be a good idea to license whatever Chocolate
Industries came up with (plus it helps get the C.Industries name out
there a bit). You might be reading a little to much into what is
essentially just a low-key release that we (as in Ninja and C.Industries)
all liked. Anyway, no offense taken, I think some people just assume
we're a hell of a lot bigger then we really are.
I thought the Squarepusher mix was the best one. I liked the weird double
time thing he did with the vocal. Also the Freeform one I thought was
particularly excellent.
See Ya
