Under a variety of guises Bill and Jimmy have both collaborated with other communicators and produced some superb sounds. As mentioned earlier Jimmy was one half of The Orb with Alex Paterson. Together they pioneered remixing and released their own material, most notably the single A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules At The Centre Of The Ultraworld. Since their split in 1990 they appear to have patched things up and are rumoured to be working together again. Jimmy has been remixing under the name The Scourge Of The Earth with artists as diverse as The Black Dog, Marilyn Manson, Hawkwind and Black Star Liner. He also teamed up with Guy Pratt in 1999 as Solid Gold Chartbusters to release I Wanna 1-2-1 With You. Jimmy is reputed to have recorded an album of experimental sounds as Advanced Acoustic Armaments and a fax received by Melody Maker suggested an intended performance of 'Foghorns of The Northern Hemisphere' by The Triple A Formation Attack Ensemble. [More of this to come!]
Although Bill has been more engaged with his literary interests his collaboration with long time friend and fellow Zenarchist Mark Manning (aka Zodiac Mindwarp) did give rise to a series of 6 limited edition (500 copies only) 7" singles released on Kalevala Records. The singles form the soundtrack to their book Bad Wisdom which is an account of their journey, along with top mate Alan Goodrick (aka Gimpo), from Finland to the Arctic Circle and back to plant an icon of Elvis at the North Pole. Although an album was reportedly planned this was never released. The three friends have been on other adventures from which it is to be hoped that further books and sounds may flow. In 1999 Bill, credited as Tenzing Scott-Brown, narrated the lyrics on the title track of Skyray's beautiful album Mind Lagoons.
The above is by no means exhaustive however we will endeavour to keep you advised
