right you are. Norman Cook is not a "member" and as far as I know they
havent done anything together. From the beginning they were only two guys,
that was Ashley and Rocky (I think.. not sure anymore :-) - the others
came along later on... Ushi Claasen could perhaps be counted as a "member"
theese days too...

Actually the original vs. Eccentric Afros thing was just a word game. Then
they suddenly realised that everyone called them Ballistic Bros so the cut
the name....

BTW, they didnt make any money on the first to collections, it all got
sued away from some of the samples they used.... life is hard sometimes
:-)
