Further albums followed, including two of experimental electronica in collaboration with Daniel Assante, which were critically well-received although modest sellers.

Kraus, along with Assante and Italian musicians Enrico Barbaro and Gherardo Catanzaro, is currently working under the name of Vintage Club Band.
