It all goes back to my old theory about how the big guys are trying to repress 
(that's REPRESS, like repression, not re-press like when you make more of a
record) any up & coming talent that might be able to compete with them. 

See, RDJ tried to do it to Mike P when he was on rephlex. So he left, and
started his own label, and said, "hey, now I see what Richard's doing. By
releasing stuff like those Like-A-Tim remixes and that X-Asp record, and
holding my Bluff Limbo in storage for years, he's making his OWN work seem
better."

So, now Mike is doing the same thing. ;) 

noah

..now, I know that if those guys didn't want anyone else's music out there,
they wouldn't have started record labels. I'm just being silly. I'm sure
Aphex Twin and Mu-Ziq aren't quite that devious in real life.
