i hear what you're saying, and as i posted, i think that the interviews around "Beaucoup Fish" era are mostly good-humored (the hilarious one with the acoustic Born Slippy has a lot of joking between Rick and Darren, for example, and it also stresses that "Bruce Lee" was a Daz contribution at heart). After the split, Karl mentioned that it was amiable. But what of the often-talked-about-in-the-press bit that BF was recorded distantly, with sound files emailed back and forth? Was the mood really that tense or is this just typical journalistic sensationalizing?
