I am on both lists an own quite a few fax releases, as well as alot of hearts of
space releases, from steve roach, or others..  the hearts of space sub label;
fathom, is probably one of the few labels who continually put out very good dark
ambient material from steve roach, robert rich, michael stearns, steven kent,
kenneth newby, alio die, and many more...
