Well, he used to play bass (or was it guitar? one o' those) for a UK pop
band that I really dug back in the mid 80s called The Housemartins. And he
was also part of Beats International, I think, who sort of rode the
coattails of Bomb The Bass and M.A.R.R.S. to become somewhat popular in
the late 80s. Not sure what other names he's using now, if any.

Um... he does music that sounds like them, only it's better? :-)
