I don't know much about Templeroy, but Different Drummer is the label
run by Rockers Hi-Fi. There's a Different Drummer compilation out called
BASTARD TRACKS that's worth tracking down. Most of the tracks are
ambient dub, similar to the early AMBIENT DUB comps on Beyond Records.
BASTARD TRACKS has four Templeroy tracks plus the first recorded
appearance of Riz Maslen (as Neotropic).
The DEAF AND DUMB album was apparently only released on vinyl in
the UK but Echo Beach of Germany has recently released it on CD
as part of their "Serious Classics" limited-edition dub series.
