uhm, my UK geography might not be all that great but aren't LFO from
Sheffield? NOW is from Yorkshire? and Wild Planet is in Sweden now but
wasn't he originally from Sheffield as well?

Hi Robert,
You forgot the best ones from Leeds.
Wild Planet
LFO
Nightmares on Wax
That's how I picked up a copy of the original NOW - Dextrous demo white
label when I was in Leeds last.

Simon Hartley from Wild Planet used to be in a band with Mark Bell
before LFO and Wild Planet existed, but I can't remember the name
and I don't think they ever released anything.
Maybe I'll find some more GEMS next summer when I go back.
