I'm not gonna bother to order them, but the first 5 or so can be considered most important to me, but the ones lower on the list aren't necessarily inferior.

Definitely! |
It's on the basis of one album as well. I haven't actually found any of their other albums, but Shabini is just one of those records that it should be entirely mandatory for everyone to own.
|
Yeah, I haven't heard that much either. I have a cassette of True Jit though, which i got about 800 years ago and still play far more than most things I bought that long ago.
