        Had heard of it: I believe it dates to 1989, though where I got
the information from I couldn't tell you; possibly Delerium's old
psychedelic archive. Hadn't realised it was just they two though. They had
another similar one out a few years later called _Reason of Success_,
from 1990, and Tony Hill has had two more since then, _A Fierce Nature_
and _Ancient Gates_, both of which are House-less. There are also two
out-takes albums from 70/71, _Precious Cargo_ and _Flood_ which do have
Simon on but are still of unknown quality as far as I'm concerned. Recent
years have been quietly good for High Tide fanatics. Yours,
                                                            Jon
