Hmm.... just for record, the distributor's press info is slightly off.
'Music from Passing Cars' is the third Aspen full length. Bevan releases
music as Aspen and Signer, and did some production for Mandrake, but "the
works of Signer, Isol, Mandrake, Aspen and Jet Jaguar" are definitely not
"the work of one man".
Well, they're the work of one man each, but not the same man. :-D I believe
Bevan's take on who we all are is going to show up in a feature on de-bug I
believe. Auf Deutsch? I dunno.
Not that I have any reason to be sour about someone else being given credit
for Jet Jaguar stuff, of course. ;-)
