I think its called "Heavy Mental" is I remember right, not sure. Also
coming from my foggy memory, I believe it is a collection of
pre-Explorimenting tracks.
Anything else along that

I highly recommend the new Electric Ladyland comp. (5th in the
series...red cover)
Panacea, DJ Spooky, Techno Animal, DJ Vadim...etc. Not names that
necessarily go with Witchman, but the whole series of Electric Ladyland
comps, including this one, have a dark downtempo vibe to them. I believe
Witchman himself has appeared on one or two of them.
Another comp. Witchman is on that fits him nicely is "Further Mutations",
the fourth (I believe) compilation from Lo Recordings. That series of
Compilations is also very solid. (side note: Luke Vibert's track on the
first comp., United Mutations Vol. 1, is probaby my favorite track he's
ever done...it's in his "Luke VIbert" style, not plugnbass.)
