John gave as an example:  >>> "Indakasa" and "The Orange Theme rmx" by
Cygnus X<<<

I was stunned to see these two items (from one of my favorite albums of
the 90s, Hypermetrical) on this list.  Indakasa is sublime. Many folks
here like to slag trance, but now we know there's at least there's two
of us who get pilorected by both Autechre and Cygnus X (and some others
you listed from the Harthouse/Eye-Q) camp).  Hooh boy, there goes the
neighborhood!  But I would add 444, Clipper and Nuane to the Ae pilo
list, and Red Herring by Union Jack.

BTW, anyone who digs sophisticated drum programming might want to check
out the trancy breaks in Hypermetrical.  Cygnus X was a project on Eye-Q
by Ralf Hildenbeutel (of the excellent Earth Nation project) and A.C.
Boutsen (aka Matthias Hoffman, aka Brainchild and Odyssee of Noises).
