Similar compilations to Holden's "At The Controls"?

Does anyone know any other good mix compilations with a concept similar to that of At The Controls - touching on a variety of styles ranging from minimal and techno to idm and ambient?

Balance 005

You will never find anything similar, ever.

quite possibly the truth!

I bought this mix cd and instantly fell in love with it!

From the first CD, I have to say my two favorites are:

Kate Wax - Angel Blues
Death in Vegas - Anita Berber

From the second, it'd have to definitely be:

Solemn Thirsty by Malcom Middleton
Cold War by Trans Am

Try Ellen Allien's mix compilations. All of them.

A bit more upped on the tempo but this is quite similar... at least from my ears.

The mixing and flow of that disc is complete shit. Good tracks, but I dont know how they came up with that order...

Balance 005 does not resemble any similarities to At The Controls.

Jimmy Van M's Balance 011 totally sucked. It was directionless and the only good tracks on there were either the old school material by Autechre and BoC or stuff that has been hammered by tons of other dj's

MANDY's At The Controls, well I'll have to check that one out. Same goes for Ellen Allien's compilations

lol.. maybe you treat it too stereotypically, it isn't just another unoriginal compilaltion... ;p at the beginning i didn't like it very much but with time it grew really huge on me.. try to give it a listen one more time certainly worthwhile...

ohh.. and the flow is superb

Recently released ablum and probably one of the better recent CD's..very dark minimal techno with tech house tunes.....Robert Babicz - A Cheerful Temper.

Check out Beatport for the entire ablum with samples.
