Meanwhile, at the end of 2000 AquaFM released "ambient@hyperreal.com 01" on which appeared an unreleased piece by Amongst Myselves titled "5am Melbourne 1996". This piece would also be released on "Sacred Black". He has also been invited to submit a couple of tracks from "Still Life" for the next compilation.

The success of "Still Life" led Australian radio program "Ultima Thule" to contract Amongst Myselves to create their new opening theme based on the "Still Life" track "Ship of Dreams". During 2002 the 2 cd compilation "ambient@hyperreal.com 02" was released containing the title track from "Still Life", "Ra's Playground".

After the success of "Still Life" Amongst Myselves realised that he was headed in the right direction. A direction which is a constantly challenging, trying to break away from the normal. So with this in mind he set out to work on what would later was titled "Sacred Black". A journey influenced by fifteenth century religious persecution, astrophysics, the desolation of a sleeping city at 5am and the classic Martin Denny piece 'Quiet Village'. The South Australian Government through ArtsSA were so impressed they helped to fund "Sacred Black".

Released in 2003, "Sacred Black" is a continuation of a journey starting with "Still Life"; a story expressing diverse emotions - meditation, tension, subtlety, torment and persecution, imagination and celebration.

In 2005 Roberts started doing Sound Design on short films and found it to be a great source of inspiration and experiment for his work as Amongst Myselves. Roberts said "I caught up with some old friends from Art School who wanted me back on the team, as it were.". The role he took on was not unlike his work with Amongst Myselves. It involved recording and realising sound environments. "It was great to be under someone else's direction for a change." said Roberts. Roberts has continued to this day with 4 films now under his belt and sees this as another outlet for his continued work. Hence the release of Auburn Silhouette had been delayed but this allowed him to step away from the album and see it with a new perspective when he returned.

Australian ambient radio program, Ultima Thule, released it's first compilation of ambient artists from around the world, "Chasing the Dawn: Ultima Thule Ambient - Volume 01" in the middle of 2006. The CD contains tracks from such greats as Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Tim Story, Numina and yours truly Amongst Myselves. "I feel so honored to have been asked by George Cruikshank, producer of Ultima Thule, to be alongside all these great influences." said Roberts. Ultima Thule has recently expanded it's listener base with the addition of Canberra radio station Artsound-FM 92.7.
