Well, it really depends on what kind of sounds you dig from that period. Still, I can point out a few.
My picks (and sometimes why): Deep, instrumental: SR 12 007 Logic The Warning / The Final Frontier SR 12 017 Logic The Difference / I Got Somethin' SR 12 020 Underground Solution Luv Dancin' **Early Roger S! He used to be great... SR 12 022 DV8 Freedom SR 12 023 E-Culture Tribal Confusion **Josh Wink and King Britt, an unlikely combination! SR 12 025 Untouchables, The EP SR 12 034 After Hours Waterfalls / Feel It SR 12 039 DV8 The Egotrip EP SR 12 042 Crucibles, The The Letter / I Need You So Bad Baby ** B-side is a killer cut. A-side is a strange vocal, a bit 80's-ish. SR 12 047 Total Capacity Ambience / Celebrate SR 12 057 Urban Rhythm Luv Will Make It Right / Feel It Baby All Night SR 12 072 Hardrive Sindae SR 12 103 Code 718 Equinox **Danny Tenaglia's masterpiece (E2-E4 influenced piece) SR 12 106 DJ Pierre Muzik / Muzik Is Life SR 12 110 DV8 C'Mon / Give It All To You SR 12 117 K.E.L.S.E.Y.

(For Devotion) / Stompin Grounds **Early Kerri Chandler. Essential. SR 12 143 Paradise By Insight Paradise By Insight SR 12 147 Uzuri Key Waves / Wanna Go **Tony Carrasco's return as a deep house mogul. Very deep and hypnotic. SR 12 152 Reel 2 Real Go On Move (The Remixes) **Much deeper (and better IMHO) than the originals. MAW mix. SR 12 178 Mood Life Needs (Not Wants) (12") SR 12 201 Caucasian Boy Northern Lights / Honeydip SR 12 204 Untouchables, The Go Bah! / "Little" Louie Anthem Part II **A-side is sorta tribal.

Generate Power **DJ Pierre, wild pitch. Essential. SR 12 055 Audio Clash Don't Take It Away / Electro Rhythm SR 12 069 CLS Can You Feel It **Todd Terry remix is a Rave anthem.

SR 12 336 Brotherhood Of Soul I'll Be Right There SR 12 399 Hardrive Deep Inside **If you can still stand hearing it, as it's waaaay overplayed. SR 12 403 Black Magic: A Lil' Louis Painting Freedom (Make It Funky) SR 12 569 Hardrive 2000 Never Forget (When You Touch Me) SR 12 585 Barbara Tucker Stop Playing With My Mind Tribal: SR 12 130 R.A.W. Keep Movin / Unbe **B-Side is ace! Early Eric Morillo. Good tool. SR 12 138 Club Ultimate Carnival '93 **I sold this, and I sort of regret it. SR 12 241 Circle Children Zulu **Van Helden's early hits. SR 12 254 Hardhead New York Express I almost stopped buying vinyl after the 300s, so I know less of the later period, but their output was so huge at that point, they put out big-room stuff, which I wasn't really into (anymore), and I mostly bought IDM and Techno at that point. However, there are names you should look out for: Time Underfined (Dan Curtin) Wamdue Project (you can pretty much buy those on sight, stay away from remixes, unless you like big room stuff) Ultra Nate's stuff is good, but wayyyy overplayed. Especially if you're gay and you go out frequently. Lenny Fontana and George Morel both have lots of good releases, but they're low-key, and lots have similar names, and I can't remember which are more... er... memorable. :o) Oh, and the Burrells have a couple of Strictly titles which are good. There are loads more, I'm sure. But these are the ones I know first hand. Hope this helps - a bit. :) Nervous and Nu Groove are next, i bet?

What are, in everyone's opinion, the best Strictly Rhythm releases, 313 related or not? I came across a huge Strictly Rhythm for sale list in some random shop, but I don't know many of them and there are probably some gems in that pack. Any help? Thanks in advance Antonio
