i've had a copy of the 'something with milk' 12" [lo recordings LOEP06] for 
awhile, 7 tracks, think it's a sampler for the lp, indeed posted to idm
about this a while ago

described in the wire as 'the welsh sun-ra'[ahem], richard composes with out
the aid of digital technology, just found sound, tape loops and ye old
skool real live instrumentation, some inspired moments, comes on like ui
meets throbbing gristle meets mantronix, but richard fails to stamp it with any  
mark of originality and the whole thing renders itself a composite of previously 
visited and far superior musical vistas
