Actually (sorry, idmer's, I know this isn't idm :-)), they've been doing stuff every coupla years from 1966-present (or at least 1993). Their discog is at http://www.shef.ac.uk/misc/rec/ps/efi/mamm.html And it lists this: 1993, Vendouvre, Virgin Records ABMT4. One track on Ambient isolationism, a double CD compilation.

It'd be interesting if a *new* book on Electronic/Experimental music was written (with all the stuff that's come out in the past 10 years, I think it'd make for some good reading (of course, sometimes I just don't wanna know how the stuff is done, or what they were thinking...just like I don't like videos telling me what images I should see when I hear a song)).
