Two fairly unrelated questions: What else have Tranquility Bass, who did the excellent "Mya Yadana" from _Excursions in Ambience_, done? Any albums or appearences on other comps, or work under different names? Also, does anyone have a US release date for the second 777 (System 7) disc? And what the heck are they going to call it? Any name they give it will almost certainly confuse both US and UK collectors. | Dave Walker, Detroit Art Services (DAS) -- marmoset@msen.com | | | | Without chemicals, life itself would be impossible. |

Tranquility Bass is the guys from exist dance records (LA). I think they have two 12"s, one is "They Came in Peace" on blue vinyl and the other one is .... I forgot, it's at home somewhere. I'm pretty sure most everything put out on exist dance is done by Mike Kandel and Tom Chasteen (who run the label), except for the new one by Freaky Chakra (which is, I think done by someone in SF). They've got a new cd comp. which should be out in the next week or so containing three Tranquility Bass tracks: They came in peace, Mya Yadonna, and a new one Cantamilla. Tranquility Bass is more ambientish than the other exist dance stuff, but most it is really good. Also a sequel to the excursions in ambience comp. should be coming out in the next couple months. Check 'em out... Andy ps.

there is no second 12". and "they came in peace" has been deleted now anyway.

more or less. mike does most of the music. tom is more in the business side of things, although he is quite an excellent DJ and does the scratch work that you hear on ED releases - the scratches in Mya Yadana, for instance...

daum bentley, who is from marin, not SF, but that's OK, we love him just the same.
