Visit www.submerge.com, and try just about anything from UR, Axis, or
Hardwax. Some I can recommend that appear to be available:
Ax-005 @x-103 "thera" 12 ep $4.99
Ax-008 @cycle 30
AX-009 Jeff Mills "Unreleased" and AX009B
AX-010 jeff mills "growth" 12 ep $4.99
Ax-015 The Other Day EP
Ax-016 Jeff Mills "Very EP"
AX-018 Jeff Mills "Tomorrow"
Much of the best material is on _The Other Day_, an Axis compilation which
is really a Jeff Mills album. It doesn't cover the most recent EPs
though.
PM-001 PurposeMaker
PM-002 Kat Moda EP
PM-003 Force Universal EP
PM-004 Purpose Maker "Our Man From Havana"
Purpose Maker is the home of Jeff Mills' more difficult techno, really
dark and groovy.
HW-003 Missing Channel "Atomic Whirlpool EP"
HW-001 Missing Channel "Onslaught"
Robert Hood, I think. These go back a few years. Too bad this style
hasn't been used and developed further. Dark techno with an unusual use
of samples.
Ur-002 Underground resistance "sonic ep"
Ur-003 Underground resistance "the final frontier"
Ur-008 Underground resistance with the vision "gyroscopic"
Ur-009 Underground resistance "elimination"
Ur-010/012 Underground resistance "riot / fuel for the fire" double ep
Ur-017 Underground resistance "The Punisher"
Ur-022 Underground resistance "death star" (most of these are pretty hard)
Ur-025 Underground resistance "galaxy 2 galaxy" double ep (on a jazzier
tip)
Ur-030 Drexciya "aquatic invasion" (contains their best track
"Wavejumper")
If you can find _Revolution for Change_, grab it. It's a good overview of
the earlier UR, well-balanced between the harder as well as the more
ambient/jazzy sides.

"Put them who threaten possessions and power together with them who
offend our tastes in sex and dope. Those who are touched, put them in
asylums. Pack off old ones to senior communities, nursing homes.
Children? Keep them prisoner. Babysitter as warden. School. 15 to 20
years, army afterward. Liberated, we live in prison. Know this, know
that. Kill us before we die." -- John Cage
