Where are the remasters of classic electronic compilations (GU, FabricLive, etc?)

As someone who grew up clubbing in the late 90s/early 00s, the poor representation of classic Dance music on major streaming services has always surprised me.

In fact, I would argue Dance music is the least well served genre on these sites (even Classical gets the sublime Apple Music Classical service, to make up for how awful Spotify handles it).

I understand that DJ mixes are more omcplicated than regular albums from a rights perspective, but now that Xennials/older Millenials who grew up with this stuff are moving into peak earning and spending years, I'm surprised we don't have reference-quality re-releases of these iconic mixes available to stream.

Super high quality releases have always been nostalgia-bait, due to the cost of entry (Quad records, Superaudio CD, premium streaming tiers), and the club kids of the 90s are the ones that can afford / would pay for these today.

So where are the mixes at? Yes, you can find them on Soundcloud/Mixcloud but that's not quite the same as having them in lossless / atmos on Apple Music!

Versions of the Capcom Fight Stick (SNES)

So the Capcom Fight Stick, the official Capcom 6-button arcade stick from the early 90s is a bit of a strange beast.

It was released for SNES, but it also was the official controller for the rare/grail Capcom CPS Changer supergun console, that allowed you to play SF2 arcade boards at home on your TV.

However, was there any difference at all (colors, serial numbers, packaging) between the SNES sticks and the ones for the CPS Changer?

Also, it seems to come with different box art - was that just US vs JPN, or were there other versions?

Which hardy plants for exposed balcony?

I want to put some shrubs in planters out on this balcony to break up the light/sun coming into the apartment.

Not a thick plant to block the sun, just something tall enough to cut the glare.

This is NYC so summers are hot, winters are cold. These will be always-outdoors, they wont come inside for snow etc. the balcony is south facing so gets a lot of sun, but being a high floor its also exposed to wind / rain / snow.

What is going to like this environment?
