I have this; it's great. I mentioned it several weeks ago here. There are people like Steve Bicknell and Damon Wild on it, as well as one track from the Acid Kirk camp. Most of the other tracks are by people whose names/monickers aren't known to me ... but it's AFG (All Fookin' Good).

The Re-load Records (note correct spelling (-: ) label is a Belgian label that specializes in straight-ahead, bangin' German hard trance. I know that anything with a (mostly) 4/4 isn't very hip to mention on this list, but I eat this stuff up like candy. It's the most "futuristic" music I know of, in the sense that it makes me think we're really almost at 2001 instead of hearing re-treaded and re-cycled beats like the downtempo/Trip-Hop/Drum n' Bass end of the spectrum uses (don't get me wrong, I like that stuff too ... it just doesn't sound "futuristic" to me, which is what I really liked about Techno back in, say, 1991/1992/1993. Remember how the other music back then was lame Hippie 70's rehash stuff like Nazaret... erm, Pearl Jam? (-: ). The sad thing (IMHO) is that this sort of music isn't being made very much anymore, it appears. The only other thing I've gotten in the past few months that was even remotely close was the Luke Slater Planetary Assault Systems album, which isn't quite the same (although it's also excellent, as another listmember keeps reminding us (-: ) OnNow: The fans keeping my house from melting down on yet another hot L.A. day - Greg Who wishes he was at Burning Man, Rave City or no
