Good call Chris.  : )

Mark Bell has been busy as hell with many other projects
aside from his LFO guise. He records as Speedjack for
R&S, as Fawn for NovaMute, as Counterpoint for Synewave,
as Clark for Planet E, as Dual Race for his own Syncopate 
label, and most recently as Blakdoktor with Doc Martin on 
the Shaboom label. As mentioned by Chris, Mark has also
produced Bjork's most recent lp and, i've heard that, either
U2 or Rolling Stones (i forget which one) have also 
expressed interest in Bell producing their next album. Bell 
has also done a slew of remixes for Bjork, Hardfloor, and 
Advent to name a few.

The other half of LFO, Jez Varley, has also been producing
material. He records as Tony Montana for the Studio K7!
label, and as G-Man for Swim & the G labels. Jez has also
done a bunch of remixes for DJ Fallovie, Tomoki, Malka 
Spigel, Immersion, Atomiser, and Aural Expansion to name 
a few.

Neither artist is producing much armchair electronica as
of late. But both are producing some excellent minimal
techno and tech-house.
