Well, given the large amount of people subscribed to
the list, I'm sure some people overlap with you.
Given time, almost every artist you have mentioned
comes up on the list at some point.

Well, generally I don't listen to this stuff on a
track-by-track basis; I tend to listen to a whole
album at once and judge them as a whole. However,
there are individual tracks that I absolutely love,
and here are a few (if you're interested in my real
tastes, you'd probably want to know what albums I
love, but...):
Michael Fakesch "Sega" - I heard this track on the
Cataract Beats comp on Pitchcadet, and had to buy the
album. The album wasn't as good as this track, though
it is enjoyable. "Sega" is one of the most beautiful
IDM/electronic tracks I've ever heard.
Bogdan Raczynski "Dance Your Joy" - this isn't
actually from an album; it's one of his early mod
tracks. More techno and less d'n'b than the rephlex
stuff that made him "famous." It's just an excellent
dance tune. My girlfriend likes it :p
Gimmik "thing on a spring" - excellent joy-bringing
track from Gimmik's first release. Find and hear it!
Squarepusher, track 2 on Big Loada, something about
going to Reedham - whatever, it's gorgeous like
Fakesch's "Sega"
Four Tet's remix (on WARP10+3) of Aphex's Cliffs
(first track on SAWII) - One of the few remixes around
that's actually better than the original, and without
doing much at all to the source material. Perfect,
brilliant interpretation!
Proem "Boring Alice" - being on a compilation, this
will probably get overlooked by most, but it's an
excellent ambient peice. One of the few on that comp
that actually live up to the press-release stuff about
it being SAWII-quality and SAWII-era ambient.
Freeform "Palavalamp" - semi-rare Worm Interface
release, beautiful if a bit long Freeform track.
Almost as good as the track that got me hooked on
Freeform, "Poundland" :)
I didn't really think I could do so many individual
tracks, but I guess I did.
