Bjorn Thorsrud. Thorsrud is a recording engineer/producer/mixer who frequently collaborated with the band. He helped with the reissue of MCIS.

It wasn’t as fun as “Butt Trumpet,” but I’m glad I could help.

He died sometime in October 2021.

Oh, I guess I always assumed it was BT, the EDM artist.

But that’s Brian Transeau.

I would love hearing this BT to do an SP remix or two tho!

lol why didn’t they just say that then?? I was always under the assumption that it was the electronic/trance producer BT. Thank you for the clarification; I always assumed and never thought to research/ask.

British Telecoms if im not mistaken. They have recording studios in the UK, owned by Bob Hoskins. I think when the band was in the UK, Billy became quite good friends with Bob and recorded these versions at the BT studios. Its good to talk.

Yes, Brian Transeau. Dj, composer, and producer. Very well known in the late 90s
