Trip Reset is patchy... Those two early ones were good, if inconsistent.

Not sure about At Stockholm really!

Towards the Infinite Beat is some of the best of PTV's Fred Gianelli era.
Beyond is just remixes of the same. Fred Gianelli's muisc is quite
innovative. The 'fake' compilations Jack the Tab/ Tekno Acid Beat are
favourites of mine too.
