unmissable isn't the word.  808 state basically invented what you call idm.
if you find a record made this year that is as dense, as expertly produced
and as emotionally diverse as 'ninety' then, well....   look, it just won't
happen, alright?

just make sure it isn't the u.s edition of 90 (called utd.state 90).  though
it has more tracks, it's all over the place, the running order is all fucked
up, it has some godawful remixes from dipshit us house producers and the
cover is total crap.  808:90 is their definitive statement.
