Through the 90's the duo released a number of small edition vinyl records under a series of different aliases including - Alkahest, Zeuxis And The Painted Grapes, Empirical Sleeping Consort & Incarnate becoming specialists in the locked groove (which they refer to as Eternal Opuscules). They could achieve these in non-regular time signatures as well as 4/4.
