without being able to say who it is, I can definitely tell you that Geography of Hell is not Prurient.
Correct. However, I do know that there are many members and no one person is on every release. My guess is that no one actually involved knows everyone involved and that's the best part. I know there are people from the US, France, and Japan involved...possibly more.
As for other side projects and such, I more or less am attracted to the revolving conceptual aspect of each. The concept for that kind of stuff has always been way more important to me than the sounds...although if the sounds are great, it makes it all the better.
For instance, the way Vatican Shadow was conceived is important. He always said there was a lack of motivation and personalization in most techno music. One of the absolute best song titles is by Viodre called "Albert Titles Before He Records." And I am always torn when people do that. It doesn't make sense to do because you never know what will come of the recording and it could simply not match. BUT when you have a very strong underlying concept prior to recording, I think one can manipulate the sounds with a clear conscience on how to approach the matching concept. So VS can be whatever at times, but I think the sounds match the concepts very well, and that's what I like about it. The same can be said about Christian Cosmos and Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement.
Exploring Jezebel is excellent in concept because it's "doing something you don't want to do." The idea of releasing such shitty noise, knowing well that it's going to reflect poorly upon you, is brilliant. Any respectable artist would throw those recordings in the trash. EJ is the Hustler in the stack of Playboys.
I like all the black metal stuff for various reasons about each, but Ash Pool has evolved quite well since the First Taste Of Power demo. I appreciate all the stepping stones from then to now.
All the one offs are hit or miss with River Magic and Winter Soldier being some of the better ones.
Age Of Enlightenment might be him and another, but deep down I kind of hope that Jason and Mark exist. Vampyric Treblinka and Holocaust Adventure are incredible with VT being one of the better obscure releases on all of Hospital.
With Mitochondrial DNA i didn't care at all about the artwork because I loved the name so much. There was supposed to be a 3xCS on Fusty, but I don't know if they ever got around to finishing it. Connelly now uses Empty DNA (a spin on the abbreviation mtDNA) as a solo alias.
