Martin has a reputation as a dodgy business man in certain circles. Seems like this should be mentioned here, though it obviously has to be well-sourced. As a start, there's an interview linked to from the Sheep On Drugs page here: http://sortedmagazine.com/Features.php3?nID=294

"Things went from bad to worse. We had more artistic control, but no money, and we were suffering in America under the hands of Martin Atkins, and it just wasn't worth it, we stopped. [. . .] We were worn down so much really by Invisible Records, who, by being so cheap, drained us of all our life-force. [. . .] I thought Martin Atkins was dodgy, but I suddenly realised he was way more dodgy that I'd actually thought. So I just had to cut all ties with him, I'll never work with him again."

It should be noted that Sheep on Drugs went on to release another album on Invisible and toured extensively with Pigface, so their credibility is in some question. Twiin 03:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
