the skaters don't actually have that many releases. if they had 5000 i'd be in heaven. but if you were to d/l the wrong one first then i can see how you wouldn't be impressed.
the best skaters releases are -
dispersed royalty ornaments
dark rye bread
physicalities of ingrediential stairways
talking head
as for ferraro -
mulitopia is my fav
but heaven's gate, clear and discovery are the most popular.
im still in the process of re-d/ling all my collection due to loosing 100gb of files which contained all my skaters stuff.
large collection of
skaters/ferraro/related
i'd also recommend the wooden cupboard and nirvana projects.
