True, true. But i think this is a call for a Tribute mix, along the lines of the recent mixes in craft by negative1 and myself, mixing tracks/remixes of Chemical Brothers, Orbital, Fluke, Moby, and several Underworld tribute mixes that have appeared here. There are 875 million mixes of various artists, but far fewer tribute mixes to a single artist.
Why not just listen to the "good songs" from the albums? Cos a well-made mix is (imho) seamless, features tracks that may have been overlooked alongside the hits, and features the elusive "third record" where Song A + Song B = Brand New Song C. Artists with a large canon of tracks offer almost unlimited opportunities to make mixes of various styles (e.g. melodic transitions, uptempo, downtempo, remixed versions, rarities, live cuts, etc).
