Ya, Phil and Dan sure are amazing aren't they....You might want to check out some of their other releases, under various pseudonyms: Outer Sanctum Compilation "Frequencies from the Edge of the Tektonik Plate" This is a compilation of Vancouver idm/acid/ambient artist, with Dan getting his grubby paws in on most of the tracks...it's got a very typical "Vancouver" sound to it, very wet,acidically ambient trippy sound. Released early 93 or there abouts and still doesn't sound dated...saddly overlooked by most Vancouverites...I believ Odyssey Imports in here in Van has the odd copy... FloatPoint "Beam Error" on I belive ESP... Much like "Everest"...really good, more of the same stylee...hard to find, but was really popular in Japan. Veumorph "In Expectancy of Monumental Awe" Dan's solo project on Silent and one of my favorite ambient releases of 95. Very textural, with deep ambient landscapes overwashed by Dan's typical slightly off key meanderings, punctuated by some pleasant acid/percussion lines... Odyssey Imports (604)669-6644 Hope that helps.......q (in no way affiliated, just immensly impressed :) When they hear of the way, The Highest minds practice it; The average minds think about it And try it now and then; The lowest minds laugh at it.
