How about "analyze them"? Ernesto?!? For IDMFAQ.ORG? (Neat site, by the way :)

Hey, wouldn't it be a better idea to rescue Lance first? Having someone to
talk to while waiting for being rescued would sure turn out more interesting
if it's just the same old 10 CDs for years otherwise... 

:*)

(and also, can one imagine the world _without_ Lance? Huh? Who? YOU! You down
there in the last row? Away with you, away, I say! ^_^; )

Hey, give me my PC, Buzz and some other soft synths plus the MAZ Instruments
No. One samples CD (2600+ samples!) and I sure won't be bored...

And kick that turntable and the MD player, it's just taking up space, and I
don't have vinyl nor MD, anyhow...

Uh, have you taken any substances lately we should know of? Or how did you
think up _THAT_ example?!? =)

So, to cut a long rambling short:

Future Sound Of London - Dead Cities
Autechre - Chiastic Slide
Speedy J - G Spot
Lamb - Debut Album
The Irresistible Force - It's Tomorrow Already
The Orb - Live 93 (2CD, but since the cases are same size anyway...)
Spooky - Found Sound
Autechre - Amber
Underworld - Second Toughest In The Infants (From Lance's collection? Hmmm...)
Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do...

(Expiration date of this list: see Date field of header... ;P )
