Mike Flowers is a kind of jokey, easy listening band leader in the mould
of Geoff Love. 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.

n.p. Aphex mix of Mike Flowers Pops (in my head).
