Uhm, yeah, cos it's fun :) Bur seriously I probably gave away more than I should with *that* post. There was a rather unsubtle hint as to mix content in there. Nobody says we have to make it easy for you. As soon as I have a signed contract, then you get the full info. But before that I could my myself look a right plonker if something fell through, or mixes didn't happen or anything. You lot would be the first to complain if say a Plaid mix actually turned out to be Autechre mix, then oops sorry projects cancelled. My Mike Ink post was quite calculated. I can't really comment on the project for the reasons above, but I did implicitly imply that the project existed and slipped you a cryptic clue for good measure. so there :) g.
