I know it's nearly twenty years ago now, but have we all heard Portishead's Essential Mix?
There's a very witty bit where the original amen break on Amen Brother is played at 33 instead of 45.

It's pretty good.
Freeland's one from 2003 is great for the quality of the mixing and the track choices. Proper breakbeat.

Did I send you links to the David Holmes ones from 97 and 98? The 97 one was the one that really got him noticed, and the 98 one builds on that with hip hop in there too.

One of the coolest men ever.

Oh yeah, and I love what Geoff Barrow does with Strangers at the start.
Two copies and he does all the tricks.

Clever stuff indeed.

Did you hear the mix tape they did last year for IBYM?

Edit: Oh, the link on that page takes you to the one they did for the US one later in the year. Still not bad, though.
