All of the Basic Channel/Maurizio/Chain Reaction cds are
worth having and all have that similar "hazy thud-thud" sound
to varying degrees. The list of cds to get in order of preference
but really all are must haves:

. Porter Ricks: Biokinetiks cd (Chain Reaction)
. Monolake: Hong Kong cd (Chain Reaction)
. Maurizio comp cd (M)
. Basic Channel v/a comp cd (Basic Channel)
. Decay Product v/a comp cd (Chain Reaction)
. Vainqueur: Elevations cd (Chain Reaction)
