now i really couldnt comment on that......... ;-) Spymania and Bovinyl get lumped together all the time.... i really cant see any comparison... other than they both hail from brighton and both have connections to squarepusher....i.e. squarepusher was on Spymania.. bovinyl try to imitate squarepusher.. nuff said! Hopefully the direction that Spy-05 (d.i.a.l.) has taken will stop these comparisons.... Steve (im fed up of kungfunk! a couple of people off IDM said hello at the bluenote planet mu thing, but they didnt know my name... they just said 'are you kungfunk?' with a sort of embarressed 'thats a dumb name' look on their faces..! never pick your email address when youre drunk!) /k/./F/.........:)
