The discography of Raga Records was very helpful in providing the impetus and backbone for this
discography.
Karl-Michael Schneiders listing of EMI/HMV early releases helped considerably, as did Bernhard
Bruechigs additional details
Amongst many friends who have contributed information via the internet, Julianna and Bruce are notable
for their dedication to accumulating information on ICM and correlating it.
Kanti has a huge and well-documented collection of ICM cds and is generous in sharing his knowledge.

Thanks to Louis for additional data, Allan of Melbourne and any others Ive forgotten.
