Haleakala follows Celebration and is pretty much in the same vein. In my opinion: D and especially Aum are worth getting. In fact, I'd go as far to say Aum, in particular, is something of a lost classic within the field.
The late seventies/early eighties stuff: Celebration, Haleakala, Ecstasy and Silence is the Answer/Buddham Sharnam Gachchami are, indeed, touch and go - but do have isolated moments within them as good as any mid-70s Popol Vuh or Between. That said, you might wanna listen before buying, and the later eighties and nineties stuff does verge into very bland new-age slop.
A band similar in stature but much more reliable and noteworthy is Between (featuring Peter Michael Hamel of Agitation Free).
And the waters opened, Contemplation and Dharana by Between are all stone classics IMHO.
One to avoid IMO is Between Hesse Music - a set of Hesse readings put to music by Between.
