"Anthony" is a cool track too; at first it starts off sounding like it's
not such a great tune, but as it goes on, it unravels into something else
entirely.

I think "Plan" made it onto some drum n bass comp...(I forgot which one) I
was sort of puzzled why it was included; I never considered it DnB at all,
just acid jazz...

I think they suffered the same fate as most acid jazz bands, i.e. either
broken up, fallen by the wayside or put on the shelf due to newer projects.
I can't answer for the band though but it unfortunately seems like the case.
 
As for Abstract Truth's lineup, how many acid jazz bands, or bands of any
style, have a French Horn player?!?
