hi all, ok, so I know that - balil is ed handley - plaid are ed h. and andy turner, of course, and - xeper is ken downie. anyone know who's behind - close up over, - IAO, and - discordian popes? not that I want to get into the "who are the better black dog members" debate, their music rules and that's all that matters, but for those that are saying that ken is and was the only creative member (as much as I love his work) I strongly recommend checking the (mostly balil) material before he joined the group. the balil tracks i.e. on ART4CD will blow you away. then there's an album mbuki mvuki from 1991. anyone know anything about this? were any of its tracks released on later balck dog releases? cheers, --tom
