He's probably best known as a founding member of the influential band DNA, though his work after DNA has been quite prolific. He has a distinctive soft voice and an often noisy, self-taught guitar style comprised almost entirely of extended techniques, described by Brian Olewnick "studiedly naïve ... sounding like the bastard child of Derek Bailey"; his guitar work is contrasted frequently with gentler, sensuous Brazilian music themes.

Paul Louth

Paul Louth is a professional programmer slash ace DJ in London, most famous now for his EGG residency nights (called Prologue--watch out for it!). He is a very decent guy, who plays no-nonsense four to the floor deep stuff, the most striking characteristic to me being his affinity for funky dry bassline hooks.
