>Do you know the names of the singles and full-length?
Yes:
Outcast: Terrible (117TP12) UK" 12 with three tracks, LP vers, instrumental,
and non-LP instrumental track (no singing)
Outcast: Rollercoaster (107TP7CD) UK CD5 with 6 remixes, also 12" with the
same mixes
Outcast: Out of Tune (TPLP74CD) UK CD with 9 tracks.
Also watch for the new TEEX comp, which has a track by Outcast.
for any other Hannant/related information, see
http://www.monkey.org/~laps/music/hannant.html
which is high on info, low on pictures (which will change), and is almost
completely up-to-date.

>How is the Outcast album anyway?
Excellent, but it takes a few listenings to find out that you really love it.
It's different than anything you've heard by Hannant, and different than
anything _I've_ heard from Richard Brown (which I admit isn't much). It has
four guest artists, two of which help write (lyrics only, I assume), one who
raps over two of the songs, and a bass player whom I've never heard of
(Spad). Only one track is without vocals. If you think that will detract
from your enjoyment of the album, however, I suggest you give it a try,
because the singing is infectious, sexy, and unobtrusive like some
diva-driven-techno can be. The music is great. And the grooves are the
ingenious, textured type you'd expect from Hannant and Brown, sometimes
echoey and distant, other times a total audio onslaught.

Same here, and I think a lot of people who have heard the album agree. Green
Blue Fire (and Husik in general), however, has a much more folky-pop sound,
as opposed to Out of Tune, which is much more IDM-based. I think Out of Tune
is even more IDM based than Hannant's Sculptured LP, and instantly more
accessible.
ENJOY!
