Profan is an excellent label for experimental techno & 
ambience in the basic channel/chain reaction style. Much 
of the earlier profan releases are hard to find now but 
well worth tracking down. Here's what I have from profan:

12"s:
. Reval: s/t 12" (Profan)
. M:I:5: Mabstab 1:5 12" (Profan)
. Thomas Brinkmann Stuidio 1: Variationen 12" (Profan)
. Thomas Brinkmann Studio 1: Variationen 2 12" (Profan)
. M:I:5: Tamastar 12" (Profan)
. Sweet Reinhard: Believe 12" (Profan)
. Digital: Intoleratio Halb 12" (Profan)
. M:I:5: Rondo 12" (Profan)
. Sweet Reinhard: Der Dritte Weg 12" (Profan)
. Grungerman: Hout 12" (Profan)
. Sweet Reinhard: M 12" (Profan)
. Mint: Phongram 12" (Profan)
. Gas: Modern 12" (Profan)
. Mike Ink: Dadajack 12" (Profan)

I believe there is a new Mike Ink cd coming out this week
on profan. Here's the info on that one:
. M:I:5: Mabstab 1:5 CD (Profan)

For a sampling of the profan artists & styles get the
great Profan cd comp called Kompakt 1.

Don't forget the Profan sublabel Studio 1 which is a
terrific source for ultra-minimal techno by Mike Ink.
There are 10 12"s in all on this label all known by
the colors of their labels. For a good retrospective
of the Studio 1 material try the Studio 1 comp cd.

Regarding Mike Ink's previous full length releases,
there are two that I have:
. Love Inc: Lifes A Gas Force Inc. CD (Force Inc)
    - for more floor friendly techno-house tracks.
. Gas: Gestaltung CD (Mille Plateaux)
    - for more dubby experimental techno tracks.

Hope this helps!
