Amen Andrews Vs. Spac Hand Luke is a new alias of Luke Vibert and the self-titled CD/2xLP is scheduled for release on Rephlex July 11th. From the press release: "Amen Andrews burst onto the scene in 2003 with five limited edition DJ test-pressing releases on Rephlex. With these he participated in Plug's classic drum and bass style, raving it up with a junglist cocktail shaker. The records sold like hot cakes on vinyl and, ever since, the label had been hounded for a CD release from this old school TV host."
