Yes i do agree about the last Larry Heard / Mr White on Alleviated. The track "The Sun Can't Compare" is sooo hypnotic. This langourous voice, 303 line, and old school Chicago "rhythm" still incredibly works on me... -clap-clap-clap-
A good track for this thread : http://www.kiddyraver.com/music/what_happened.mp3 ;) - KiDDy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.T." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Thomas D.
