joshuatxuk Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Okay so I know what everyone else does. Rephlex co-owner/spokesperson, Cornwall native, RDJ's partner in crime, etc. But does anyone know anything else about him beyond his role as a owner of Rephlex? Overall he seems more mysterious than RDJ himself. I've never seen a picture of him and besides a few printed interviews the only other media I know of him is his appearance with RDJ on Kiss FM back in the early 90s where they showcases a lot of Universal Indicator and Caustic Window tracks. I'm especially interested in whether or not he has produced anything himself: i.e. the rumour he did part of universal indicator green, particularly the 7" tracks and the IG-88/Tan-09 monikers. Also does anyone know his back story before his fateful meeting with Richard?
