You are confusing the US Dust Brothers with the UK Dust Brothers. The
Dust Brothers around which this discussion centers are not the same Dust
Brothers who produced Paul's Boutique and sundry other hip-hop records.
The UK Dust Brothers have only released the three EPs on JBO plus sundry
remixes.

The Junior Boys Own compilation track is "Song to the Siren", available
on the first Dust Bros. 12". Trainspotter Alert: The Fourteenth Century
Sky EP is actually on Collect, a progressive imprint of Junior Boys'
Own. More IDM-esque stuff can be found on said label.

Incredible record. Really sets Weatherall apart from most DJ/Producers
(ie those that hire an engineer and go plink-plonk 'till they hear
something they'd play). The first disc impresses me far more than the
second, but it's all solid music. Pure listening enjoyment.
Peace,
