And I don't think they really got world attention, like the Artificial Intelligence series gave them. I know b12 had some singles on their own label. I hardly think either band had "MADE IT" and were considered a "HIT". Even if so, I hardly think that Jega's comments mattered in the first place. Who really cares? Perhaps, Warp just has a better business strategy then alot of other smaller independents, because Warp artists certainly get better distributed and better known. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
