I'll go for some old Chicago tracks that aren't *amazingly* obvious, but leave aside modern stuff (I do think that Jeff Mills and Mad Mike are the John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders of the TB303 though, as evidenced on Seawolf and the Acid Rain series :) : Six Brown Brothers "City Hall" Dr Derelict

I remember the endless debates on IDM about who made those records - "Aphex did the red one, Kosmik Kommando did the blue one", etc etc... The red one was probably my favourite - the hi-hats sounded like screaming metallic beasts incarcerated in their fiery, acidic hell! | -Original Message--
