Personally I would recommend (and I've gotta admit that I haven't
bought much d&b since 1997 either):
- Krust (new stuff also).
- Anything on Penny Black, Chrome or Infarkt. Some of the stuff is just
boring noise but when it's good.. whoa.
- The new Alpha Omega stuff is nice.. Much harder than the old AO.
- Advocate was a killer back in the days.. I remember when "Deviant"
came out (I think the promo was out in lateer 1996), everybody just went
nuts when they heard it the first time..
- Ed Rush, Optical and the rest of the No U-Turn/Virus cru have their
moments, but as a whole they're kinda boring to me..
- But mostly, look for obscure, preferably German labels. That's where
you can best find the stuff you're looking for..

Same goes here. Suburban Base stuff, Congo Natty stuff, Marv Cain, Lion
of Judah, .. Those were the days.
