hi all, since someone appears to have spotted it, should mention that I was lead designer of "Tank Racer" (PC and Playstation, only out in Europe at the moment via Grolier Interactive, hopefully licensed to the US and Japan soon), and there are indeed Rephlex logos all over the game - there's a Rephlex background to the GUI and you can run over Rephlex signs in your tank in-game. :) This is due to the fact that our lead artist, 3891919/w, is a big fan of the label (as am I), and so he insisted on some free advertising in there - we got written permission from maf@rephlex, incidentally. Actually, we were talking about asking Cylob to do the sound effects for the game at one point, hah. Would have been nice to have an all-Rephlex soundtrack but we didn't have that kinda budget, and it would have been a _bit_ leftfield for a fun racing game - Mono211 artists (http://www.mono211.com) ended up doing the soundtrack in a sorta breakbeat/d+b style which worked really well, i think.. regards, h0l/simon@glassghost
