     I'm not really sure what his association is with that label beyond
their ties with Earache (right?).  Wells did have a solo album come out on
Roadrunner in 95/96 under the alias of `The Man', called _Phunk Box_ I
believe.  I haven't been able to track this one down, so I can't comment on
what it sounds like.  It came out after G.T.O.'s _Future Classics Of The
Recent Past_ and before Technohead's _Headsex_ full-length. 

     The most recent Michael Wells release I know of is called _Teenage
Pimps On Acid_, using his own name as the alaias(!).  Imagine that.  It's a
10" released in November of last year on the (Swedish) Spacecow Records. 
Again, I don't have this one so I can't comment.

     His production as of late has finally slowed down it seems.  Or am I
missing out on new stuff I haven't heard about??
