Shouldn't all electronic styles be represented here ? I do not see much in jungle/drum'n bass, not much in "dubby" stuff such as Pole ? The Plug and BC surely do not represent the whole spectrum, D'n B wise I would have put Tally Ho! rather than Plug, added Third Eye Foundation's "Ghosts" and Amon Tobin's "Bricolage", "dubby" wise I would have added Pole 3 and the Sabres of Paradise's "Haunted dancehall" Plus : the ART comp would be enough to represent both Black Dog & Balil, there is too much ambient stuff, while the harder stuff seems completely absent (Tresor ?), I see no "trip-hop" either, I think Interstellar Fugitives is more interesting than Revolution for Change, have you forgotten Renegade Soundwave? and what about two great LPs from last year : Console's "Rocket in the pocket" and Moby's "Play" (no provocation here, but I really think Moby is underrated, and even in spite of its huge commercial success, this LP proved both long-lasting and able to bring tons of new listeners to electronic music) Gwendal
