Yeah, I'm not sure what the story exactly is. On these releases, Rez is credited to Smith/Hyde, with Emerson as Producer and Mixer on one:

https://www.discogs.com/Underworld-Rez/release/11758
https://www.discogs.com/Underworld-R...elease/9281747

This later release also just credits Smith/Hyde:

https://www.discogs.com/Underworld-R...release/248564

But then on the Cowgirl single and 1992-2012 Anthology, Emerson is given writing credit:

https://www.discogs.com/Underworld-C...release/331614
https://www.discogs.com/Underworld-1...elease/3400505

For licensing purposes, Emerson is listed as a Composer:

But on this licensing site, he's a Composer, but not an Author like Hyde and Smith:

I'd tend to give the licensing sites a little more weight. But who knows what the difference between a composer and author is?
