The group currently performs as a duo of Tilbury and Prévost.
CD is a 1989 re-issue of the LP AMMmusic, originally released in 1967 as Elektra EUK 256 (UK), with additional material taken from the same recording session. The two tracks on the original LP release have been included on the CD in their abbreviated versions to provide the option of listening to the music as originally released. The final track allows the user to programmes silence as desired.
