Green Album and Brown Album (1st two) were viewed as being pretty
influential, though they were always viewed as a little more ravey /
festivaly than straight Bedroom Listening Warp stuff.  I think they
gradually lost relevance from Snivilization on.  Planet of the Shapes
is still an outright banger though.


thanks,

Jeffrey J Davis
