hate to scare you, but it seems you've the closest taste to my own (or the other way around), which makes me want to look into some of these i haven't heard of like akufen and metro area. i bolded the artists that just missed my top 30 (unless they actually did make my top 30 and i forgot).

puma · **Posted:** Thu Nov 15, 2007 1:05 pm

i think you'd dig metro area, good tech-house. when that album came out, it was the soundtrack to my summer. akufen is more on the micro-house tip, but if you're into clicks & glitchy minimal beats, then i highly recommend that album. i put that on my list because i felt like akufen brought a new sound to house i haven't heard before...

Also, Smile and Funeral could have been on my list somewhere.

In Iceland and possibly other European countries. Pretty sure it didn't officially release in the US until 00-01.

I sorta ignored this when it came out, put it on last week, and for its genre, I thought it was really appealing.. .couda made my top 30 if I hadn't stopped at 20.
