Here are the others worth getting:
. Morgan Geist: Quadrilocular 12" (Metamorphic/METOG150)
. Morgan Geist: Etymon 12" (Metamorphic/METOG270)
. Morgan Geist: Premise 12" (Environ/ENV001)
. Morgan Geist: Remnants 12" (Environ/ENV002)
. The Hydronaut vs. Morgan Geist: Deep In The Feeling 12" (Aquarhythms)
. Morgan Geist: Rotating Retrospective 12" (Fragmented/FMD001)

I would suggest getting the two environ 12"s because there are several
tracks on each of them that aren't on the recent Morgan Geist collection
on Phono.

Yes, if you dig gritty dubby muted techno & ambience then you must
get all the basic channel & chain reaction releases. For starters get:
. Basic Channel comp cd (Basic Channel)
. Maurizio comp cd (M)
. Porter Ricks: Biokinetiks cd (Chain Reaction)
. Monolake: Hong Kong cd (Chain Reaction)
. Decay Product v/a comp cd (Chain Reaction)
. Vainqueur: Elevations cd (Chain Reaction)
