I haven't heard the "From the 21st" album yet, but other good places to
start include the "Purposemaker" and "Other Day" CD compilations.  The
"Purposemaker" compilation is Mills in his tribal techno/housier mode. The
"Other Day" comp is mostly techno oriented with a mix of both hard and
ambient-ish tracks.  All in all, two good places to start; you get
some variety and it is much better than trying to hunt down the individual
vinyl EPs.  Other routes include getting his Tresor albums "Waveform
Transmissions" vol. 1 and 3.  However, IMHO and others, his sound has
somewhat changed since they were released.
