No, it's actually Wolfgang Fluer.  Future Music have an interview with him
in the June issue and all the sound bites on the attached CD so that you
can remix one of the tracks "Mosquito" yourself (like the Progen thing from
the Shamen).  Wolfgang will listen to the submitted mixes and award a
"special prize" to the best remix.

I thought it sounded good too until I heard the bits and pieces.  I still
haven't heard the original track but there are really dumb vocals in there
and some really bad cheesy melodies.  There's a few cool sounds in there to
work with but I can't be arsed anymore.  He can keep his "special prize".
