No accounting for taste I guess.  Pretty much every track there is
seminal, classic, and timeless, in my opinion.  If you don't like it
that's fine, but for me it's all gold.

Big up Warp for doing the legwork to license all those tracks.

And 10+2 is full of tracks that directly illustrate how the tracks
on the influences disk influenced the warp sound.  You probably won't
like them much either.

I've heard people say the remix comp is rather sub-par, but I can't
imagine dissing the influences or classics disks.
