As part of the Bristol "scene" that spawned AMP, Flying Saucer Attack and Crescent among others, Matt Elliott has been involved
with various of those bands beside his own Third Eye Foundation. Some of these bands (Lynda's Strange Vacation and The Secret
Garden) never released any records (as far as I know), and are not included here - also because I don't have any details about
them whatsoever. Anyone with any info about any of them (or other bands that involved Matt), please let me know. Listed here are the other bands and records that I know that Matt was involved with. |

| AMP formed out the musical wanderings of Richard formerly a collaborator with Dave Pearce (FSA) in The Secret Garden and the
Distance project. After inspiring French singer Karine Charff with a cassette/short story produced in 1992 (recorded with Ray
Dickaty/Skree/Moonshake/Spiritualized) AMP as we know it was born on record in 1995/96 when their first single 'Get There' was
released. They initially recorded some material at home and in Wales with Matt Elliott now of Third Eye Foundation and Matt Jones of Crescent. The first singles 'Get There', 'Le Petit Chat' and first album 'Sirenes' were released in 1996. Karine and Richard went on to work more closely with Guy Cooper and Gareth Mitchell, former compatriots in The Secret Garden after the two Matt's departed to work on their own projects. More sessions at home and in Wales resulted in the first album for the Kranky label 'Astralmoonbeamprojections' in 1997. (adapted from the AMP site at Southern Records.) Beneath are all the AMP records that feature Matt Elliott: |

| Flying Saucer Attack, also from Bristol, is Dave Pearce. Released their first single in 1993, when they were still a duo, also featuring Rachel Brook, now of Movietone. Various people were at one point part of FSA's live line-up; among them, Kate Wright and Matt Elliott who both played with the band during their first live outings. |

| Foehn is Deb Parsons, who has collaborated with Movietone and Third Eye Foundation. Foehn is the sound of treated guitars, clarinets,
samples and whispered vocals. 'Inside-out eyes' from 1998 is her debut album, the second album 'Silent Light' was released in 1999, both
on Swarffinger records. Deb collaborated with Matt on the first two Third Eye Foundation albums; the track 'The Star's Gone Out' on 3EF's 'Ghost' is also credited to Foehn. (adapted from the Foehn site<-- /a --> at Swarffinger Records.) |
