Morph is Damon Wild & Dennis Ferrer. They're style
is pounding acidic techno with a few downtempo moments
every now and then. I really enjoyed this cd when it
came out but i havent listened to it lately.

I'm a huge Russ Gabriel fan. Almost everything he
does is gold in my eyes. This release features the
sounds of warm soulful electronica and techno very
much in the Carl Craig style. It's well worth having.

Roupe's Storm was released back in 95 (i think).
The Roupe storm cd is good but it's not like the 
Entelechy cd. Storm is more of an abstract techno/
electronica record. It's devoid of the d&b flavor 
that is so prevalent on the Entelechy cd but i
still like it.

Anything Peter Ford has released since 1993 is
also a sure bet for me. But this cd is especially
good. Brilliant Ifach-style electronica much in the
same style as Black Dog, Repeat, and Mark Broom.
More listening music than floor fodder but great
nonetheless. This release will be one of my top 
cds of 1997. 


If i had to rank the above releases from best too
lest, this is how they'd fall:

. Peter Ford: Headphoneasyrider cd (Black Market)
. Russ Gabriel: Volage Control cd (Input Neuron Muzique)
. Morph: Stormwatch cd (New Electronica)
. Roupe: Storm cd (Input Neuron Muzique)

Hope this helps!
