Hardly Obscure but I'm guessing you've done Numan, Heaven 17, ABC, Cocteau Twins, OMD, The Smiths etc...

Have you tried scanning the imix's on Itunes Music store?

Associate's : party fears two. I still say that the main melody? in that record would make an excellent remix. If they could do it with that steve windwood ****e, they can do it with anything....same goes for 'quiet life' by Japan.
