I think _Booster_ is from the Planetary Assualt Systems _Future Funk
Vol.4_ 12" on Peacefrog. The flip of this is _Diesel Drudge_, a nasty
Basic Channel-esque track. Its okay as a 12" but not as good as previous
PAS 12"s - _Vol.2_ has _Sleeping Sin Seemless_ on it which is quite
possibly one of the best ever IDM tracks (IMVHO)...

You betcha. The first Seventh Plain LP is a corker but I haven't heard
the other stuff. All the PAS stuff is good, but some of it is hard as
fuck. The X-Tront series is also good - hard and funky. The Morganistic
2x12" on Input Neuron is excellent - kind of like Jeff Mills. There's
also a Morganistic 12" on Irdial (rarer than rocking horse fecal solids)
and some Clementine 12"s on DJax Upbeats... Trawl through some second
hand vinyl stalls and you might come across some old stuff Luke did on
the Jelly Jam label, which is showing its age a bit but still has an
accessable funk to it. His remixes are also worth checking out; there's a
PAS remix of a Steve Bicknell track on Cosmic (COSMIC 3.5) which is
unbelievable; practically unmixable though as whatever you follow it up
with sounds lame in comparison.
The world would be a much poorer place without Mr. Slater around - he
doesn't seem to get half as much respect as he should do...
