I can't find this track on any of the electro compilations.I have the Street
Jams: Electro Funk Parts 1-3(Rhino)
and Electro Funk Vol One & Two(Priority). Is Al Naayfiysh
and other more obscure tracks available that I have not noticed.
I am a DJ so most of my attention(and money) is devoted to vinyl
so I haven't shopped CDs in several months. Any realy incredible
Japanese or European compilations? Have Mantronix seen reissues?
