I'm a big fan of OST as well...

OST/Rook Valard has a few other cd releases 
out on the Phthalo label: 
. Rook Valard: Systematic Desensitization cd (Phthalo)
. OST: Live @ Static cd (Phthalo)

Plus there are previously unreleased Rook Valard tracks 
on the Alt.Frequencies vols 2&3 compilation cds.

I hear that there are upcoming OST cds on the Dial,
Phthalo, and Worm Interface labels so more is on 
the way!

Kit Clayton has an excellent experimental album 
released on the Phthalo label under the his 4mod3
guise called A Moment of Simplicity that is probably
a lot like what you heard at his live show. There are
also promos out now for an upcoming live Kit
Clayton release called "Live @ CCAC 3/11/99" but
i dont know what label this one will be out on. It's
also in the freeform experimental style which you
described. The bottom line is Kit is a very versitile
producer that can produce excellent music for both
the floor as well as the davenport!

FYI: If you are looking for a place to buy the
Phthalo cds goto www.thebarrio.com
