None

Notes:
The Prophet's first apperance was, confusingly, under the name
Yes My Brother on The Isness. The 50 second funk track there was greatly extended to add a number of other instruments, such as wah-guitar and hammond organ and extended sections for its appearance as The Prophet. It was first heard in this form on the SixMix radio show on 2nd May 2004. The piece was inspired by a dream Gaz had about Miles Davis. Yes My Brother featured, in the credits, 'crotch-o-matic bass moduation' by Philip Pinn, who is absent from these credits, thus it is suppoesd that Mutant Funkoid is Pinn.
Gaz explains: "listening as they were in 2003 to Miles Davis' forays into psychedelia of the late sixties with albums like Dark Magus the Amorphous band could see the similarities to some aspects of their own Amorphous vibe - fuelled with this they set about creating a SCHIZOPHRENIC COSMIC ABSTRACT FUNKOID freeform jam - the Prophet was born with its crazy keyboards and dirty sleazoid porno growl of a bassline"
