Thank you for all your help. I definitely want to check out the link you
mentioned. However, I have difficulties finding the post.
Everytime I went shopping in a record store, I am kinda lost. cuz, I don't
know which section to go to. I found some of AJ artists categorized under
DnB, some under house, some under world.....
If Gen Kanai is still with the list, would you be kindly send the link
again??
A BIG Thankx for all my AJ aunt and uncle,
less confused sz~~
