    Hi Elson et al;

          This guy has done a zillion (slight exageration) albums under
    different names on different labels. Recently I picked up an excellent
    12" by him on a U.K. label called Output, he's called (this time) LB and
    he does two awesome covers, David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" and James
    Brown's "Superbad". It's worth a listen fer sure. Also,he does a great
    jazz/wierdo project with Burndt Freidman called Flanger. They released a
    great album last year on Ntone (Ninja Tune sub label) called "Templates"
    and have a new one on the way called "Midnight Sound" coming out in
    October. Just a little more info fer y'all.

    luv lew
