First, although "old", they've been reissued which means you will see them around quite a lot now. second, some descriptions: CCCD ("Clonk's Coming") is a collection of weird grooves, all related, kinda variations on a theme. Some are very bleepy , catchy and almost silly, others are hard and (inevitably) clonking and almost scarey. It's not to all tastes I would say, but an interesting purchase. I love it! Nightmares on Wax' first LP outing was an eclectic collection covering minimal techno grooves ("dextrous", "aftermath"), strange funk material ("A case of funk", "fun", "mega donutz"), seductive mellow proto-trip-hop (if you like) ("playtime", "nights interlude"). Very varied, with cut-ups, samples and bits of rap as well as pure dencefloor material; at times a bit too odd for its own good ("stop (crack)") but overall an excellent package of funky experimantalism J ^ _ _ __ __ __ __ ____ __ __ the ( `'`' / /. \ |. ) |. ) ( ( /_ _| /. ) |. ) \_/\_/ (__\_| |__\ |_| |__) /_| \___| |__\

I couldn't tell you what they are like but i can say that my Gak 1-4 (WAP 48) is much grander than those two releases.
