I'd recommend them in this order, keeping domestic/import status and
prices in mind for US readers:
1. The Conversation (double CD, cheap & domestic in the US, very diverse)
2. Virtual State (cheap & domestic US, beautiful arpeggio-based ambience)
3. Closed Circuit (double CD, rumored US release soon, plinky-delay ambience)
4. Digital Lifeforms (import in US, but not too expensive, groovy)
5. International Language (domestic US, a few duds, pretty diverse)
6. Intensely Radioactive (import US, a bit dark for me in places)
(1/5: Cab Volt, 2: R.H Kirk, 3: Electronic Eye, 4/6: Sandoz)
Basically, 'The Conversation' has something for everyone, while "don't
forget the D!" advocates might conceivably not get into 'Virtual State'
(in which case they might want to check out 'Intensely Radioactive') -
but if you like 'VS' I'm sure you'll like 'Closed Circuit.'
Am I the only one who's enjoying 'Spirit Guide to Low Tech' more after
several listens?
