I'm at a complete loss for a song or two for my downtempo/trip-hop mix and thought I'd check Fluke out, especially since I've been meaning to for a long time
Oto is the album to go to for downtempo Fluke. Risotto is my least favourite Fluke album by some distance.

A DJ mix is not an album. It's a compilation. I also don't think it should really be compared, because I could release a mix compilation and it'd probably be of a higher professional quality than many of Oakenfold's efforts, but I couldn't make an album. Very different skills.
Lol I wasn't taking anything back, just realizing that it'd be like arguing with a brick wall. Certain styles of DJ mixes are albums, end of story. Example, Joris Voorn's Balance mix.

The difference is obviously going to be semantic, so yeah, I guess the argument itself is going to be about as useful as arguing with a brick wall.
We just use different words for it because an actual artist album - a composition that they produced as a work of art - is incomparable when it comes to DJ mixes, which are essentially just so-and-so playing other peoples' music. No shit there is a lot more to it than that, and... well, some mixes take a lot of work and skill to make them sound the way that they do, but in the end they're just not on the same level.

The line has been blurred a lot in recent times. Joris Voorn's entry into the Balance series was almost a sample collage album. Sasha's Involver mixes probably took more production work than his own albums, and Villalobos' mix for Fabric used only his own material. Given that it's far from uncommon for artist albums to blend tracks seamlessly, there is a degree of overlap.
However, there is a big difference between those examples, which are only considered "DJ mixes" for marketing purposes, and John Digweed stitching together 15 of his label's recent releases. You can make a DJ compilation without even being able to fucking mix. It's just a different artistic process to making a whole album.

You probably can do the unlocking yourself, but the problem isn't that. Verizon is CDMA whereas T-Mobile US is GSM. Also, there are the Euro versions I could get, but then I won't get 3g. TMOUS uses 1700/2100 for their 3g whereas EU uses 1900/2100 for 3g.

why are you so dead-set on gsm?
at least in my own experience, verizon's network is as superior as their commercials would have you think. Not sure why anybody would want something else, unless you plan on spending a lot of time overseas.
