Artist History Stressant Vert, AKA Rik Green, put out his first musical work on his own label 'Vert Syne Records' in 1998 under the pseudonym 'Pete Brampton', after spending time experimenting with genre-fusion via electronic compositions. Over the next few years his style, which included jazz, folk, lounge, drum 'n' bass and '70s prog-rock, tightened and varied in its influences. The result was the rare 'Stressant Vert: Audio-Drug Collection' LP, available on MiniDisc and Cassette only. Unsatisfied with his first full-length under the Stresant Vert monicker, Green was determined to improve all aspects of the music and production for a new full-length release on CD. Three rare experimental EPs ['Glass Test', '_____' and 'Newen'] followed during the making of the new album, and helped Stressant Vert to perfect the sound before finally creating 'PIPE' in 2002, achieving exactly what he had set out to do.
