"As we were about to release Cydonia," says Paterson, "everyone was saying that they'd already heard all the new tracks on MP3 websites. So, we were about to release an album that had already been

heard. Needless to say, that all stopped when Andy left." What happened? "Well, it's obvious isn't it? There was a spy in the camp," growls Paterson, "but we fixed that." ---- eh? insane...

EXACTLY. i think the fact that they fell out over a number of things (afaik) has coloured his judgement a little here... ...as he seems to be ignoring the fact that Island first sent out cd-r copies of the "first" version of Cydonia in OCTOBER 1999... ...and before the album was commercially released (FEBRUARY 2001) they also distributed THREE more versions on cd-r *AND* a 4-track sampler cd-r too! added to the fact that i could NEVER get anything out of andy (rare tracks, mixes, etc) despite my constant efforts, i think that lx should be giving the evil eye to the Island press department. and didn't lx give out copies of the album on cd-r to a few listees when he did his big USA dj-tour thing a few years ago? hey ho. :-< --- Smiley __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
