Hardtrax was Hawtin.The Hardbrothers was a sly reference to Hawtin and John Acquaviva
(though the release was Hawtin only).  The original idea was
3 EPs in 3 months:  first release with 1 track, 2nd release with 2,
and 3rd release with three.  The first two came out, the 3rd release
in the planned series did not.  I don't have the records handy,
but this Hardphunk was record 1 in the series and
Elektrophunk b/w Cowboypunk were the second.  Andrew
