 It's actually 22 "tracks", and supposedly features almost
 every Mo' Wax release up until the time it was released (MW101).
 It'll take some careful listening to pick out each track, especially
 the early ones.  The Psychonauts are the unofficial Mo' Wax DJ
 crew (since Lavelle doesn't really mix) and have done a remix or
 two for Mo' Wax in the past.
 
 IMHO a "Mo' Wax Retrospective Mix" could have been a lot more
 interesting than this.  Most of the big hits (Shadow, Krush etc.)
 dominate the mix, it would have been much more interesting to
 hear the development of the Mo' Wax sound, even if this "development"
 wasn't always a good thing.

 ps the mixing is flawless but if you're into the turntablist stuff
 that Qbert Shadow mix is much better
