Agree that AHDO feels a little calculated and artificial compared to the other LPs, whereas OWB exudes warmth and mature confidence.
But "running on 20 years is bound to slow down the activity a bit" ??
Let's see, firsts since 2005:
RiverRuns LBT, PFE, IABSAIAGAIAPATIMH web releases
Started own label
Epic Cocoon gig with Sven Vath/net broadcasts of gigs in Tokyo and UK
Art Jams in Japan and NYC
Pre_LP and post_LP tours 2005-2008
First "major" soundtrack (yeah, yeah, Screen Gemz way back when) with "Breaking and Entering - also a sonic collaboration with Gabriel Yared
Another soundtrack for "Sunshine"
Countless new things on UWLive - Book of Jam, continued diaries, new shop, new tracks
Quarterly radio shows in addition to the special one-off broadcasts
Recruiting Darren Price to help freshen the live improvs and help engineer..a new set of hands and influence.
If anything, they've been more productive than ever!
This is not to say that the 90's weren't a wonderful period of output in terms of LPs/EPs/remixes and Tomato projects, but i seriously DOUBT they've slowed at all. If anything, they've become freer to experiment in different genres.
