Record of the Year Revisited: 1990

Original Record of the Year: DNA - La Serenissima

With my choice for 1990 I ticked all the boxes. It was the lesser known DNA record so nothing obvious and it was a record that works well in the club and for chilling out at home to.

It's a great record, sometimes box ticking doesn't necessarily mean its a good record but this one is and a worthy winner of the record of the year for 1990 and would of easily won if it charted in some other years.

There is a question mark though. Can I honestly say this record is better than "LFO" by LFO?

New Record of the Year: LFO - LFO 

No I can't. This is perhaps the biggest record from the bleep techno era and widely praised by a number of DJs as being a ground-breaking record. 

I guess that's why I was reluctant to initially pick it. When a record is held in such a high regard I can't help but thinking there's similar more obscure records that are probably better. There probably is, but the limitation here is reaching the Top 40 and I can't think of a better one from 1990 than this.
