You actually give the tracklist for volume 2 here. The first volume has
"Planet Rock" and...oh jeez, can't remember the title offhand, but it's
been sampled everywhere, the track with a robot voice saying "It's
ti-i-i-i-i-ime..." - oh, and "Rockit," of course.

There are some Egyptian Lover CD's out, not that I recommend them much.
You'd probably dig the first two Art of Noise albums. The other night I
bought 'Music Madness Plus' by Mantronix on CD used. I'm sure it's way out
of print, and the rapping on it is quite weak (weak voice, wack lyrics),
but there's some excellent drum programs on it. Incidentally, the Beastie
Boys sampled Mantronix on "Finger Lickin' Good."
