The production on Earth & Nightfall was much more melodic than the usual R&S releases (or for that matter, the usual Detroit producer). One year later, Beltrans 10 Days of Blue LP for Peacefrog arguably bettered its predecessor. For 1997, Beltran re-upped his Placid Angles guise for an EP on the Swedish new-school electro imprint Dot, then followed with a Placid Angles full-length, The Cry (also on Peacefrog). Late in the year, Beltran released his fourth overall album, Moving Through Here, for the Apollo offshoot of R&S Records. In 1999, Beltran released a self-titled album on Transmat as part of the production trio Indio. He resumed releasing albums under his own name with two albums in 2002, Americano and Sun Gypsy, followed by In Full Color in 2004.
