Going back a bit, Mo Wax reissued a 2-CD boxed set of major force material in the mid 90s, but it's mostly instrumental. there's dj krush, of course. back in the early 90s, a group named audio sports released a killer album called the era of glittering gas. it features eye from boredoms and the now-ascendant nobukazu takemura. the album's probably hopelessly out of print and was available only on import anyway, so good luck finding it. send me a cassette and i can tape it for you if you like. dave segal xxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx
