i have to admit that the only various artists record i own (& have
heard, too) is the remix 12" on fat cat.  i've been hearing such good
things about this act though that i'll probably get more when i can find it.

as for berlin records that blew me away...  i have yet to hear one, but
i'm open to suggestions.
