He shot to fame in Britain during christmas 95 with an amusing and sanctioned easy' cover of Oasis's Wonderwall. He seems to be mates of Aphex in some way as RDJ used to go to some easy listening club a few years back. I left the said 12" back at home this term but inexplicabley found myself humming the Aphex mix last week and it's been stuck there, on and off ever since. Weird. Steve.N n.p. Aphex mix of Mike Flowers Pops (in my head).
