Doesn't Xenon Codex list "Dr. Hasbeen" in this case? An obvious
take on Dr.Technical... Other members being "Lysergic Duke" (Alan
with his penchant for "hits"), something "Brainbox" (Harvey), "D.T.
Turbo" (Danny Thompson), don't remember Huw's alias.
I _do_ remember at least 2 HW albums name-checking Dr.Technical,
CoH being one of them.
Also, seems to me that White Zone listed Brock, Davey, and Chadwick
as well as three aliases for them (Dr.Technical and 2 others,
don't rem them either, but Alan's alias was obvious). I kinda
thought this was intentional misdirection on the band's part,
obscuring exactly who (and how many people) did what on this album.
Last side point re: White Zone: two tunes are specifically listed
as off of Brock's "Strange Trips", and one tune is listed as off of
Chadwick's "Chalice of the Stars". I can only assume that this is
or was supposed to be the name of Richard's eventual solo release.
