I've been | trying for all of them. I've been fortunate to get my hands on the aforementioned release (Toward the unknown region) - What are the titles of the two other releases in this trilogy, and when were they released ? And can anyone tell how closely this item resembles other works of Wiliam Orbit, like the Strange Cargo series?

The recent Strange Cargo releases are more closely related. Definitely more beats on Strange Cargo than on "Unknown Region". If you're a beatless ambienter, start from the most recent Strange Cargo (#4) and work back. There's also a "Best of Strange Cargo" which is a good starting point. 3
