Hehe - knew Mark Archer pretty well (I was at Uni and lived in Stafford for a few years after). He used to get all the Transmat tracks through Network, but worse still was the fact that he had 2 copies of Techno : The New Dance Sound Of Detroit, and the only way that he would give me one was if I got him a 12" copy of "Summertime" (yes... that Will Smith person). Also went around his house while he was doing a remix of a Michelle Gayle (ex-Eastenders) track, but said that he wasn't enjoying it... only after hearing the vocal that they'd sent him could you understand why. Never heard singing so bad.
Never met Chris Peat (knowingly at least). I know that his brother did some time for dealing tho. It summed it all up when Mark was asked to respond to what the tabloids were saying at the time, and that Stafford was "Techno City"... he said.. the only thing techno about Stafford is the lifts in the local shopping centre. BTW. If anyone is interested, http://www.aeonflux.co.uk - it's playing most of the artists mentioned (LFO, 808 State, Sweet Exorcist, A Guy Called Gerald ("Blow Your House Down" is on there too). Scroll down a bit on the main page, and you'll see the artists on the play list.
