I guess I'm suggesting that some of the material from which '28' is made up, could indeed have been composed a long time ago, but it was definitely recorded recently.

It was just the 'first' EP which Rephlex released which was genuinely vintage stuff (a re-release in fact). I believe that that was the only thing the group ever actually finished. However Bernard Fevre continued to work quietly never releasing anything for decades (like a lot of people we all know!) until Richard D. James and co 'discovered' the original EP and did a deal to have it re-released.

Why? The tempo is rock solid all the way through. A computer was involved, or at a minimum, the drummer was playing to a very steady click. I'm not sure a drummer was actually used for the tracks at all, based on the regularity of the beats. I don't know which is more impressive -- a drummer that can play for 6 minutes rock steady down to the millesecond, or how carefully they faked a live drummer. Or, for that matter, how organically the live and machine drumming is put together, if both are used. In other words, it's a tremendously well done fake of the sound of 1982, done recently, which incidentally is some of my favorite Italo.
