I'm putting forward Michael Mayer's incredible Fabric 13 record. A genre defining masterpiece innit?

Impossible to answer,
My favourite is the late night tales mixed by Kid Loco.
you made light work of that
impossible situation, i love the fabric CD that Spank Rock did a while back
well
It's either that or Immer, also mixed by the Kompakt head honcho
the fabric albums are always kinda fun
dj spinbad's fabric live is cool,shame the justice fabriclive one didn't go as planned. i also really likes dj yoda's cut-n-paste records, especially the 80s edition.
Impossible to judge the best
I stated my current favourite.
How can you compare Sparo- Worlds to Too many DJs etc.
I
should have said favourite really, yeah.
HEAR HEAR
the spank rock fabic one is a masterpiece
shush child
It's a bit "ohmanletscramasmuchzeitgeistyshitaswecaninamixandthrowinsomehillariouslyironicstufftoo" whilst Michael Mayer lovingly chooses 13 incrdible tracks and lets them breathe.
maybe
Too Many DJ's
70 Mins of Madness by Coldcut
DJ Food & DK Present Solid Steel
On The Floor At The Boutique by Fatboy Slim
That big box set 5 CD Lauren Garnier did
Maybe that first Stanton Worriors one?
They are some of my fav's any way... I love the fabric ones too
Aye^
For Coldcut
Aphex Twin
26 Mixes For Cash
Soulwax - Einzurstende Neubaten
linkin Park - Reanimation =p
Girl Talk - Night Ripper
Purely because it's just so much fun. And it's great hearing gangster rap over Pixies.
