Here's a few others for those interested, with the artist, engineer and labels they recorded on. Keep in mind that this list is off the top of my head and is only for three people... Ed Rush & Optical (Virus, V, Metalheadz, 31, Talkin Loud, RAM) Ed Rush & Nico (No U turn, Prototype, Metalheadz, Emotif) Ed Rush & Pete Parsons (Lucky Spin) Ed Rush & Dom Angus (Prototype, Metalheadz) Ed Rush & Matrix (East Side) Ed Rush & Rymetyme (Virus) Trace & Pete Parsons (Lucky Spin, Emotif, Dsci4) Trace & Nico (No U turn, Emotif, Lucky Spin) Trace & Dom (Prototype) Trace & Optical (Virus, Prototype) Trace & Rymetyme (Dsci4) Fierce & Nico (No U Turn) Fierce & Dom (Metro) Fierce & Optical (Virus, Moving Shadow, Dsci4, Renegade Hardware, 31) Fierce & Future Forces (Renegade Hardware) Then you have combos of the three: Ed Rush, Fierce & Nico (No U turn, Prototype) Ed Rush, Fierce & Optical (Virus, Prototype, Metro, 31) Ed Rush, Trace & Nico (No U turn) Ed Rush, Trace & Optical (Virus) And last but not least: Ed Rush, Trace, Fierce, Nico & Optical (No U turn) Pretty crazy shit if you start to think about it...The thing that confuses the whole enchilada is that up until aprox 3 years ago, most of these releases were by the first name in the list, with the second getting small print 'engineering' credits. Fortunately, things have changed but artists like Rap, Goldie & Grooverider still insist on *just* their name on the title, when in truth they are using the amazing engineering/song writing talents of people such as Rob Playford, Dillinja, Optical, Matrix, etc. I guess the bigger the ego, the less you want to share the credit... peace out, brock
