Hi Chris, I might as well ask this publically... In my opinion 1998 was the year of the compilation. There were SO MANY amazing compilations, I think it's a great pity to only have one nomination allowed in this category - even three can't do justice to the stuff that was out there. So... I know it's a long shot, and too late, but anyway, can't we nominate three compilations? Here's a list of just a few fantastic ones for everybody out there to consider, of which it's very hard to decide between the first 5 listed at least: Blip, Bleep (Lucky Kitchen) Highways Over Gardens (Carpet Bomb) Endlessnessism (Dot) - YES it's 1998 even though on the CDs it says 1997 Funkungfusion (Ninja Tune) Diskono [x] and Diskono [y] (Diskono) I'm So Bored With the USA (Diskono) Underwood 3 (Sub Rosa) Deutscher Funk (Capirinha) WAP100 "We Are Reasonable People" (Warp) Avantgardism 2 (Law & Auder/ Blue Angel) State of the Nu-Art 2 (Blue Planet) Plus two great Australian compilations: The Freaky Loops comp, and Jaunt II. And on and on... You get the idea. Happy Channuka (just over...), and all other seasons' greetings to all, Peter. -- Peter Hollo xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx.xx http://www.fourplay.com.au/me.html FourPlay - Eclectic Electric String Quartet http://www.fourplay.com.au "Of course, dance music can be a music where you lie on your back and your brain cells dance" -Michael Karoli of Can, quoted in Wire mag.
