Exist Dance is an LA-based dance label that was owned by Mike Kandel
and Tom Chasteen. They wrote and produced most of the label's releases,
including the Tranquility Bass tracks, until Mike split for Lopez
Island, Washington, or some other equally obscure place, where he is
now reportedly working on a Tranquility Bass album for Astralwerks.
An Exist Dance compilation CD, TRANSMITTING FROM HEAVEN, is probably
still available and contains three Tranquility Bass tracks: "Cantamilla,"
"Mya Yadana," and "They Came in Peace." You might try ordering this
from EAR/Rational (ear@xmission.com). Hope this helps.
