Er, Hefner?

Given they haven't existed for about four years, and I dimly remember there being a dance Hefner who refused to change their name.

I believe...

Some of these incl the Hefner track appeared on a Rex Records tribute to Prince years ago.

Aww

I was hoping for a studio version of Soulwax's cover of 'Pop Life' after all these years.

'Sine of the Dub'

is one of the most haunting things I've ever heard.. Came out in 2005 though, I think. Stunningly good, mind.
