What was his "Choice: A Collection of Classics" cd like?

I'm not really into all of that Sly and The Family Stone old school funk shit that he plays when he warms up, but once he gets it going - he gets it going!

mmmm that was a good set.

His liveset at Club Redlight (from 2003?) was awesome too - started off slow and got more and more funky over 3 hours. But I lost it when my computer crashed last year and never was able to replace it.

Oh, and I don't know how I forgot his 07-28-02 Essential Mix. Legendary for its genre-bending in my opinion.

I hadn't really listened to him 'til somewhat recently, since I first heard one of his mixes years ago, when I was into much different stuff. I'd basically just ignored him after that, 'til I saw this:

Very appreciated. The man has no limits.

the mans a genius, I only recently got on the Howells bandwagon after his 07 EM ever since then I've been trying to get everything his done.

All his cd compilation's are brilliant likewise are his sets, unfortunately I'm yet to see him live, but I'm hoping he makes the trip down under very soon.
