Ah, right. I knew I'd heard of it somewhere.

They had it under Techno, which I why I thought it may be Mira Calix.

Possibly. I've seen releases on a label called Switch, for example, that
is not the Canadian label that's been around for a couple of years. 


On a sort of related note: Did the Freeform 12" on Creative Wax (I *think*
that was the label) ever come out, and if so, does anyone know if it was
actually Simon Pyke? It was listed as upcoming on Juno, but didn't make it
to the "out this week" listings and just disappeared.
