System 7 - Alpha Wave (Plastikman Acid House Mix)

System 7 are generally shit, but Hillage has chosen good people to remix him on occasion... the high watermark for both S7 and Richie Hawtin is contained within this nigh-on 20 minute acid techno freakout - Hawtin's remix (in his Plastikman alter-ego) of the rather lame trance plodder Alpha Wave. Everyone should have it in their lives. and now you do.

Beloved by techno djs everywhere who need a shit/beer/blowjob.

The People of House - Chicago House Mix

A 16 minute megamix of early chicago house music... starts with Mr Fingers' peerless Can U Feel It, then off into uncharted territories (at least as far as I go - I've got quite a few 87 chi-town classics, but I only know the first track).

minimal, percussive and dark, just like chicago should be. Strangely, it seems to be available fairly cheap - discogs marketplace has it for only a quid, so snap one up...

I'd be delighted if anyone can identify any of the tracks...
