The band has often been associated with the Vortex Jazz Club in North London, playing many of its concerts there (including a fundraiser for the venue when it was threatened with closure). The band has contributed to two more of Django Bates' records. His 1995 album Winter Truce (and Homes Blaze) was dominated by Delightful Precipice performances, while his 1998 album Like Life featured a "special" version of the band (mixing some of its British-based personnel with Danish musicians) performing both new material and alternative versions of previously recorded pieces.
