I get the impression that these comps are like the Dead’s Dick’s Picks in that there are some greats in the catalogue. But where to start? Still got my CD-Js for just such an occasion!

I think the earliest mixes where Tape-releases…

Some old Cafe Del Mar Mixes got posted here

Great link, thank you. Yes, I was aware of the tapes but I know there is quite a CD catalogue. Was wondering if anyone had some points of departure there.

I agree, start at the beginning.
The first six in that series were compiled by José.

I think I kept going till 8, but there’s a definite tail off after 6. As with any long running series the best stuff is at the beginning.

For something in a similar vein but a little more upbeat then Phil Misons chillout: the album is a blinder

Volume 2 is a special one for me. Six was the last I bought… have loved exploring the tapes posted on TP…

Edit: adding a few TP links to some favourites:
