Piece Work by Ewan Pearson is amazing. A collection of his remixes of Goldfrapp, Flaming Lips, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode and others, including an Enjoy the Silence that I prefer to the original.
26 Mixes for Cash by Aphex Twin is great as well.

I really like that instrumental version of the minor victories album but not strictly a remix album I guess.

The Four Tet one is decent though I much prefer his remixes to the remixes of his own songs.

The other Soulwax one with their remixes of The Gossip, Muse, LCD Soundsystem etc is really good.

Good shout! I fucking love that album!
Casino classics is a great album!
Did you get the 4 disc reissue (which had the download of another disc’s worth too)? And then there’s also Mondo Casino, which they were selling at last year’s Good Humour gigs, which had a bunch of other remixes (although there is a little bit of crossover).
All good, but disc one of the original (which was also disc two of the first copies of Too Young To Die) is what I listen to most.
I’ve got the original double CD only.
Agree with The Cure’s ‘Mixed Up’ and Pet Shop Boys ‘Disco’ - two prefect remix albums. The (Rest Of) New Order has some great mixes too.
Who knew that four remixes of ‘Mogwai Fear Satan’ would be so essential?

A poll with two voters probably 
I remember the Surgeon remix being a big beautiful wall of noise, bit I’d have to listen back to the others.
I think I’ve just worked out what I’m doing with the next 30 minutes or so. The funny thing is, I was never that bothered by MFS, much preferred Like Herod.
