In most cases i don't like mixed/sequenced/edited artist albums at all but occasionally they work nicely, like L.S.G. albums as mentioned or BT's Movement In Still Life for example but those are only a few exceptions which i don't mind being continuously mixed. Edits then again definitely are a no no and should be left on the singles for radio play or for those who can't stand longer intros and outros but not on the albums. Editing a few seconds is tolerable but several minutes is not, then the track kinda loses its idea if shortened down to a fraction of its original length.
There should be artist albums and mix CDs but separately, not combined as one. When i buy an album i don't need to hear how good his/her/their DJ skills are as DJ mix CDs are purposed for that or how many more tracks can be fitted on the album if edited or mixed, commercial mix CDs are for that. All i need is to hear what productions the artist has done and preferably in full length.
PS. Compilations i have always thought as being unmixed and mix cds, mixed. D'oh!
