well, some of the sounds from rdj album come from the sinclair zx spectrum: and old home computer type of thing with 64k of memory. so save stuff, you had to attach a taperecorder to it and it would save all data to normal tapes. if you played one of those tapes on your normal tapedeck you heard those bleepy sounds. the one that's most clear is the sample on the end of 'cornish acid'. maybe he hid some secret data in it ?:)) btw, the font rdj used on the girl/boy ep sleeve is made up of 'keys' ey? also from the sinclair :) ~peter name [~] peter cozijn e-mail [~] pu@dds.nl http://huizen.dds.nl/~pu [~] homepage
