well, harris is english and sometimes records as scorn (or is it lull, cant remember right now, but im sure someone on the list can confirm or deny)...bernocchi is italian, has done alot of ambient work...but, the common thread here is the ubiquitous bill laswell who just brought out a mind-boggling (IMO) collaboration with these two gentlemen entitled equations of eternity on the wordsound label...this particular collaboration led up to this threesome disc...all this is anecdotal, but i assume the hyperreal pages have full info... tom w np: something from the orb called the o.o.b.e adventure that a mailorder company sent me instead of orblivion...
