Greg,

>I really like the Dolphin Brothers' "Catch the Fall", but in a different way
>than I like Sylvian's work.

I've only heard the first Dolphin Brothers' single - it sounded far too
commercial for my liking.  The B-side was OK, though.
The first (pre-Dolphin Brothers) Jansen / Barbieri collaboration was the
instrumental album _Worlds In A Small Room_.  This is fantastic.  Very
atmospheric and very original - have a listen.

This 3 inch CD contains exactly the same tracks as the original EP:

			Pt. 1  Ancient Evening
			Pt. 2  Incantation
			Pt. 3  Awakening

See discussions on WeatherBox in rec.music.gaffa for a description.
