Ben Klock
title:: Tag Der Arbeit b-w Invasion
label:: Bpitch ControlBen Klock is the same person who recorded as Ben E. Clock on WMF's debut compilation 'Night Effect.'
I no longer buy a single just because it is on Bpitch control (there are so many!). I listen to every new release. Ben Klock's 12inch was an easy choice to put in my bag. It is a solid single.

2 many dj's pt.4
artist:: Soulwax
label:: Waxed Soul RecordsWhat has become it's own special brand of DJ mix cds, Soulwax have not only kept the bar high, but have kept the quality as high, if not higher than the previous volumes.
Soulwax have created a hybrid mix cd halfway between a regular mix cd of favorite tracks running the gamut of styles, with the highend DJ sessions which only the really great DJs can mix on the fly.

386 DX
title:: The Best of 386 DX
label:: StaalplaatA surprisingly varied and human sounding disc of rock covers even as it continues in the niche of computer-synthesized voiced music.
Alexei Shulgin is the computer operator, and accordingly doesn't get in the way of his muse, who leads us through what could be one of those great hits of the decade albums not sold in stores.

Tom Verlaine
title:: Tom Verlaine
label:: Collectors' ChoiceCollector's Choice have reissued this 1979 record with no bonus tracks (which is rare for them), but with brand new liner notes by Tom Verlaine.
Tom Verlaine was an incredible force in music, and remains the consummate artist in my songbook. I love this record and strongly recommend it to you.
