Well Frank Beard and the main bearded dude came by the Ninja Tune office 
about 2 years ago. They actually seemed pretty in touch with what was 
going on in all music circles. And I quote  "Herbaliser...alright...I got 
a tape we play before the gigs, it's got some electronic shit on it, I 
know what's going on". Also, someone from a record store told me he sold 
a Scorn record to a ZZ-Top guy...so there. They were actually fucking 
really cool guys. They hooked us up with some all access passes for their 
gig that night with Cheap Trick. We went and represented. 

So there...it's not inconceivable...
