The Q-Chastic EP was created by Richard D. James under the alias "Q-Chastic". The album was never released but was supposedly test pressed in a limited number under the Rephlex label in 1992. The format is rumored to be 2X12" format, of which the outer 2 inches are grooveless. Its existence is heavily debated.

Fake track list

Although the album has never surfaced, a fake version has been passed around the internet containing the only officially released "Q-Chastic" song, "CAT 002". which appeared on the compilation The Philosophy of Sound and Machine . Although the song name represents the catalog number for the 2X12", Grant Wilson-Claridge has stated the song "CAT 002" was not pressed to the album.

On Sept 17, 2008, a Discogs user posted a review where he claimed that the most popular P2P version of the Q-Chastic EP came from a drum and bass compilation.

First appearing in the early 1990s under a variety of monikers, including Musicology, Redcell and Cmetric, the duo were often mistaken as hailing from Detroit, their sound being comparable to the so-called second wave of Detroit techno. This was compounded by the signature style of their initial releases on their own imprint B12 Records, limited editions on coloured 12" vinyl with cryptic messages etched into the run-out grooves, and the fact that Golding and Rutter tended to shy away from the press, and rarely gave interviews, which added to the mystery of their identities.

The Aints is a band name used by Ed Kuepper during his prolific early 1990s period. The group's name relates to Kuepper's first recording group, The Saints, and its initial incarnation concentrated on material from the mid-to-late 1970s. The group then took on a life of its own and produced loud, feedback-drenched recordings of new Kuepper originals. In 2017, Kuepper convened a new iteration, this time adding an exclamation mark to record and tour material he had written between the years 1969-1978, much of which had been in the setlist of the original Saints but which had, with few exceptions, not been recorded or released.
