There's a Volume One to the Tone Tales also, simply called "Tone Tales from
Tomorrow" (minus the Too bit). I haven't been able to track this one down
myself, but it's out there.

Other must-have chillout discs, IMHO:

Woob "1194" CD (Instinct/Em:t) - Dubbed out ambient grooves with a
tribal/world feel and bizarre spoken word interludes, this is out of print
but well worth the search.

Global Communication "Remotion" CD (Dedicated) - A collection of GCC
remixes of everyone from Chapterhouse to Nav Katze, really beautiful record
that captures GCC at their best. Guaranteed smooth landing with this one.

Global Communication "Pentamerous Metamorphosis" (Dedicated) - GCC remixes
of Chapterhouse, a couple of the tracks are on the above CD. But this one's
still worth having, I think it was reissued on Dedicated a yr, or so ago so
it's not impossible to score!

Journeyman "Mama 6" CD (NTone) - Prolly the best thing I know of that
NTone's ever done, this one is stylistically all over the place and miles
away from the "National Hijinx" album that he later did for NTone.
Journeyman=Woob=Paul Frankland, one and the same.

Biosphere "Substrata" CD (Errr? Can't remember!) - Cold chilly Artic
ambience, this one's about as solemn and stoic as they get. Surprisingly
warm underneath it all, somebody released this domestically a year or two
ago so it's easily had.

There are others, these are just the ones off the top of my dome that always
get play around my place.

> I also have DJ Food's "Blech II". Is the first one still available?

Depends on what you mean by "available." I don't think this was ever
released commercially, apparently it was some kind of promo giveaway deal
for Warp's club night. Distributors and shops began asking for it to sell,
Warp wanted to release, and apparently PC and Kev (Food) weren't happy
enough with it to officially put it out (that's the story I've heard, at
least). Hence the Blech II disc, which is longer, more complex, and the
better of the two. Pedro and David H. - I have a tape dub of Blech I, not
good enough to CDR, but if you still really wanna hear it drop me an email
and we can sort out some kind of tape trade, would be glad to dub you a copy
since it's not really commercially available. Take care...Brock
