If they really wanted a big recognisable UK name to be represented on the movie then Dave Clarke would actually have been the better bet maybe.
Stu **** Remember, the title of the film is 'Hi Tech Soul' therefore, rightly or wrongly, some talented people are going to be excluded from that rubric, and on the other hand some people who aren't particularly stand-out, might be included. It makes me realise though that in the UK, we don't really have a direct equivalent of 'Hi-Tech' soul musicians ... I mean, at a stretch you could include UK garage (but would you really want to?!?! ;-) I can think of a few people I'd include. Obviously the most credible would seem to be A Guy Called Gerald. Also perhaps Hope Grant. But such folk are few and far between. Another one is Tony Thorpe. But most of you just said 'who' to that, didn't you? As someone else suggested, perhaps Cox simply knows more influential people!
