The best mix, IMO, is definately the Plaid remix on the third "possibly maybe" disc. probably the best remix whatsoever of her stuff. drumndrillnbass and quite "android"-ish. i've heard quite a lot of her singles (if not all...) and this is the most impressive remix. the black dog mixes on that remix ep ain't too bad either. salam! fransk.
