He made some excellent contributions to that album. The album that White first appeared on was "Tales from Topographic Oceans", if I am not mistaken. By the way, "The Age of Atlantic" was a domestic release that has some excellent songs, my favorite being their rendition of "America". It is somewhat difficult to find, and, for all I know, may be out of print by now. Barry Locklear
