I swear on my grave that I have seen a Extremities release with the 
Invisible tag on it.  Can anyone verify this and/or what is the story?

Does he do these sort of things until he gets caught?  OR was he owed 
royalties so he was licensed a limited run? Which I could see since the 
original label it was on has had some mismanagement issues (from my 
understanding).

So at thsi point what could Atkins do to redeem himself?  If he was to 
(essentially) shut up and play the drums in a REAL and GOOD band that he 
does not having recording and mixing controls over would that help?  
Everything he has done in the last 15 years has been collaborative.  And 
that only gets so far.  Quite leaching off of the past.  He sucked that well 
dry long ago.  No one even notices or cares anymore.

Could he ever drum again for Killing Joke?
NIN ( even though he really didn't, showing up in a video doesn't count)?
Ministry?
