  1. An overlooked classic. There are numerous earlier releases, including a precursor to Terra Damnata, that are cassette only (this holds true for almost all of Bergin's numerous projects: C17H19NO3, Trust Obey, Tertium Non Data); if you turn any of these up kindly share, they are tough to locate. John posted a couple on his blog years ago but this seems to have dried up. I ripped two of the C17 tapes and will confirm they are worth tracking down. Thanks
