The Diceman has made a couple of 12" 's (all but one on his own Vivatonal label), but as far as I know, never a complete album. However, all other releases on Vivatonal (LMNO, Solace, Bob & Ian, et al.) are all from the hand of the same guy that's also behind The Diceman, Colin James (no relation). The disc you describe is probably the Vivatonal compilation, simply called 'Vivatonal' (Vivatonal VTTLP 01), which has a few tracks by The Diceman, and would in a way qualify as a complete album, since all the track were done by the same guy anyway (except the intro, which is by Greg Retch formerly of Meat Beat). I don't own a copy of CD, but the artwork of the album sleeve is also primarily white, with an embossed Vivatonal logo, so that's probably it. It's a great album, although IMO The Diceman tracks are the best. Maybe you could try to track down some of his 12"'s. The ones that I know of are: Quad (Brainiak BRAINK 12) The Tempest (Vivatonal VTT 1) Supervisor Error (Vivatonal VTT 2) Sonic System (Vivatonal VTT 5) Le Noir (Vivatonal VTT 8) Sonic System (remix) (Vivatonal VTR 2) Maarten * 1996 * ALBUMS 1.
