I'm probably diving in far too late on these, but...

Crispin Glover. I haven't got much by him, but his record as Motif on
Nuphonic is classic. Funky analogue electro/disco stylings. And no, he's
not the Crispin Glover who played someone is some dodgy American sitcom
as I remember people mentioning last time his name cropped up...

PJ and Smiley. I don't know their full names. The weird thing about SUAD
is that a lot of their records are bloody hilarious on the first few
listens and you find yourself listening to them just for a laugh (the
lyrics and blatant samples on "Dance Before The Police Come" are laugh
out loud funny) but the more you listen the more you like it and realise
their influence. Just got a couple of old SUAD/Nicolette collaborations
in fact (Wicked Mathematics and something else) and they are just great.
Neither has been off the turntables for very long...

It'll most likely be Electrifying Mojo...

So, how many do you think you've got out of 50 so far? I was gonna
enter, but I thought I'd have to resort to similar tactics as posting to
a list. In fact we should enter collectively as a list and use the
resulting £500 pound record voucher to buy up everyones albums that
changed their lives and take a steamroller to the lot of them, in the
spirit of progress. Or not.

Well, this marks my leap back into the screaming mellee that is IDM. And
what a way to return. Sufficed to say that I'm not even gonna get into
the records that changed my life myself (on the evidence so far I've
gotta side with Brock)...
