I don't believe 'sheet one' was all that important, it was neither awe inspiring or innovative (everyone was throwing acid lines all over the place at that point in time) each track is a variation on a theme, and generally made excessive listening boring. If I was to vote one piece of Richies work into a top ten it would be the FUSE album.
I also agree with Gwendal, Moby's last album Play is very enlightening, not unlike Garnier's last one, it plays with a whole range of electronic styles, and reminds me of some early St. Germain. I however cannot believe that there isn't some Bob Marley on this list (or at least the Laswell Rmx album). I don't think we would all be in the same place sometimes if it wasn't for Marley.
