Re: best Dance albums

I can't help responding to this "what the f*** ?!" list. Aphex Twin's album IS indisputably a classic, but it's NOT a dance album. You can't dance much to the wonderful Massive Attack and DJ Shadow albums either. Influential, those and Public Enemy, but not dance albums! And Nicolette's highly respectable but difficult and publicly-ignored album doesn't deserve to be there. Her debut was better, but even that shouldn't be in the top 25. And Basement Jaxx at the bottom of the list?? Should be in the top 10, IMO! Nice to see LFO's get props, though. Come to think of it, it's just the category name that's wrong. Should be something more vague, like "electronic". How did they come up with this list? Some Muzik staffer's favorites list? > >Best dance albums of all time > > > >1.

Lost son
by Andrew Krieg 21 Jan '02

Looks like I missed out on 1 month of posts as I was not aware of the xmission address change for this list. I checked the ftp site, and the orb archive directory, but the last digest in there is the one I received 1 month ago (v02.n537 on 12/21/01) before this address change. Are archives/digests stored someplace else now? Has there been much activity the last month?

ftp software: my 2 euro cents...
by Chain Reaction 20 Jan '02

Dear Downloaders, As an alternative to more specific ftp software you could try the ftp function within Windows Commander. I've used it for many years (leeching many sites ;->), and it has never let me down. Try it if you have WC; I hope this 'll work for at least some of you...
