If you're looking for the _Destroyer_ sound, _Squeeze the Trigger_ is the
comp you'd want.  Also look out for 2 limited CDs on DHR, about 40 mins
each, in slimline cases.  Each has a generic die-cut insert, one red, and
the other blue.  The blue one is No Safety Pin Sex, and if my memory is
working the red one is Funk Riot Beats (something to that effect anyway). 
They both contain some so-so material which surrounds a few excellent
tracks.  Certainly enough strong material to justify the $10 price. 

The _Geist..._ 3CD collects tracks from the Mille Plateaux releases, plus
apparently a small number of additional tracks.  I don't have it, and I
don't know anything about the other tracks.
