    Finally...a list that I absolutely agree with 100%! Sometimes I have to remind
    myself this is an acid jazz list group, but your list is on the mark Steve.

    My only additions would be (for the inevitable top 30 list):

    1) Peace Orchestra/Tosca/Any & All Future K&D variations
    2) Amon Tobin
    3) The Herbaliser
    4) Thievery Corp/Thunderball/All ESL Artists
    5) LTJ Bukem/Blame/DRS
    6) Autechere
    7) Spring Heel Jack
    8) Photek
    9) Alpha
    10) Moloko

    Yeah, I know...it's not acid or jazz, but these artists have inspired me to
    continue exploring every new genre I can find.

    Isn't discovering new music great? Thank you XLR8R, Urb and Shawn Fanning...
