Songs From The Cool World
Various Artists
1992

Easily one of the most influential albums to me ever. This has been in my yearly rotation ever since I bought it on tape back in 1992. Before this album, British meant The Beatles but after my ears were opened to the then-new electronic dance sounds coming out of the country, my tastes were forever changed.

Recommended Track: Papua New Guinea - 7" original
