My. You certainly pull the big guns out of your hat, Teep. Hello Fredrik! P.S. to Fredrik: I kinda liked the "FAX crap" on your tape. Most soothing. And thank you again for the "Angel Face" 12". Want anything else, drop a e-note. What happened to RERB on this list anyway? (;= OK. Since I've got 9 of the 14, I guess that means I've got a feel for "electro" now. I guess I've been a fan all along... "Shake, shake, shake" - K.C. & the Sunshine Band So does Debbie Gibson's "Electric Blue" (Euro-mix) count? I assume that the list was in no particular order either. So where does "Woomp! There it is" fit into the "electro" spectrum? Or does it have to be "underground"?

As in Micro-Phonies? I hear ya. "But, you see, _these_ amps go all the way to 11. You normal amps only go to 10, but when I want that extra little bit, I can go to 11." - Spinal Tap Any pointers on current "old-school electro" titles?
