if you have never heard anything by Jeff Mills, you need to.  he is quite
important in the heritage and lineage of this music we love (as well as
being a white hot DJ).

if you are coming in to mills from the IDM side, "Another Day" is a great
crossover point, as most of the tracks are less hardened than some of his
more minimal things designed expressly for the dance floor.  Another Day is
in my top 5 for 97.

any of the purpose maker releases are also ace.
