Dammit, Greg, now I'm ultra excited to hear some of this stuff, but I
don't even know where to start to find this stuff. I live in
nowhere's-ville Winnipeg, Manitoba and have to special order most of my
music, and cuz of (lack of) funds, have to be selective... So if anyone
has any suggestions that sound like they may fit with Greg's posting,
whether 12"s or compilations, please enlighten some of us dimmer ones 8-)
on the list. What is described above sounds like dance music that is
both intelligent and innovative.
thanks everyone
