Can't help you on the crowded house connection, I'm afraid, though
surely thats too bizarre to be true? Who knows in today's topsy turvey world.
However I did pick up a very nice new twelve from him on Paper recordings.
Does house get any smoother than this? Well perhaps, but not much.
The Voyage came out on Heard btw (Universal Language sub-label) trainspotters!
Speaking of Heard, did anyone ever see Heard003, which according to 
the back of the Jedi Knights - Big Knockers 12" was supposed to be a single
from The Horn? If it ever came out, it passed me right by.
Speaking of the Horn - I fully recommend his recent LP on Universal Language - 
Hornography. Really nice electro acidy crunchy house with pretty bleepy tunes.
