Excellent !  Thanks for posting this - I found many of my "old
friends" amongst this list.  Just wondering, how recent is this
compliation?  Here's a quote taken from the first entry on their
site, and while talking about a '89 release they say "five years
later" putting them roughly into 1994.  Or am I misconstruing?

Their list certainly contains nothing *recent*.  Anyway, jolly hard 
nut to crack; I would even find it hard to put together my Top 10!

808 State

(ZTT/Tommy Boy - USA - 1989) With a little help from A Guy Called
Gerald, this Manchester crew created the beautiful, early trance-like,
hypnotic "Pacific State" and never looked back. Five years later, this
entire album still sounds like it came out yesterday.
