2. black dog - bytes
3. aphex twin - selected ambient 1
4. derrick may - innovator (unless you own all the 12s lol)
5. john beltran - 10 days of blue

I'd have Black Dog - "Spanners" ahead of "Bytes" maybe but both are good!

The Stasis "Past Movements" compliation is definitely in my all time top 5!
