The two Osrams "someone" encoded and put up at Bleepbloop are both from
the 2x12" untitled (or perhaps self-titled) EP that preceded the release
of the album 'Kitchen' in 1993. The EP is long out of print. There are
tracks on 'Kitchen', including another Osram, that are similar to the MP3s
you heard. The other tracks on the EP include 3 that were also included on
'Kitchen', plus 3 mixes of O'Locco that were available elsewhere.

The live CD is quite good, all ambient, with passages of muted kick drums
but nothing like the overtly dancey stuff you might expect.
