I wd add Rob Hood's 'Rare Species' (aka 'Caught In Act') mix on Logistic. However, some people I know don't like it because of the tempo (very fast). Yeah I'm a sad Hood-o-phile as I will go on abt said dude for hours if given half the chance, but pls permit me one more thing: Abt a month ago, picked up Nighttime World Volume Two after years of searching (ok, abt 3). If your idea of Hood is 150 rpm, hard and 'minimalistic' loops and nothing else - it shouldn't be, as his last few LPs on Peacefrog and Logistic, have shown quite a few other sides to his talent - I especially like the f****d up 'electronica' excursions. But to disabuse yourself even further of any type-casting, you would do well to cast an ear over NTW volume I (very readily available) (Cheap, '95) and if you can find it - it's not easy, but it's possible - NTW II (M-Plant, 2000). There you will find many wonderful and ear-opening styles, from down-tempo, soulful, r 'n'b -esque, housey, more abstract ambient studies, a lot that's enlightening and even profound. NTWII especially, with it's 3 x12" is going to be so useful as it's just like slower, more textural dance music, made by a proper dj therefore very easy to programme. Anyway - my recommendation. (If this thread was orighinally meant to be about stuff you could find in HMV, sorry! :-) Peace, k k
