[Orb] New collaborator?

In an interview here http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_04.19.01/thebeat/orb.html LX drops the following: Paterson seems even to have come up with a replacement for estranged collaborator Kris "Thrash" Weston (who worked with the Orb as a teenager). "You've never heard of him," Paterson insists, but nonetheless the good Dr. is convinced. "I've got complete faith in him. He seems like a new Weston in that sense, from the early days of the Orb, sitting in the studio for 16, 17 hours a day, going pear-shaped and pulling out a peach!" Anybody have the slightest idea who he's talking about? Kwook www.kwookyworld.com
