Many thanks to Ryan and Alan for the info.

That would also be a fitting description for his Further Self Evident Truths - it fits that he was a drummer as his percussive programming is intricate and a lot more interesting than most (in similar fashion I always felt Palm Skin Productions rhythmically was ahead of the game). The overall impression is of a sort of outsider non-breakbeat breakbeat.

I don't know the other two, but I'd forgotten he was on Macro Dub - a fine compilation containing my favourite 4Hero track (Parallel in 4 Form). Bedouin Ascent does seem to sit alongside a number of artists who though active don't seem to have followed through on their mid- 90s promise e.g. Higher Intelligence Agency (Colourform/Freefloater), the aforementioned Palmskin and Beaumont Hannant to name a few.
