Lists like this are always going to cause controversy. At the end of the day, it's all about personal opinion.

right, and their opinion is wrong

Not listened too the Flying lotus one either but will have to give it a go. One of my favorites is Timo Maas from 2002, he used to play at a club where i'm from a lot round that time and some of the sets were similar too that mix. The Sander one from 2001 is class.

Been mentioned before, but that Moshic 2003 EM made a huge impact on me at the time, and to this day it´s still one of the most otherworldly sequences of music I´ve ever heard.

As for these in particular... some I feel are justified and deserving, others not so much, and I think any of us could come up with a totally different list... I mean, there´s hundreds of them!

I´m just glad that the EM is still around, even if I don´t follow much of it nowadays. It´s a musical institution.

No Kleinenberg from 2001 or Digweed from 1999.

List loses all credibility !

That Klienenberg so should be there !!

How about that great Howells mix from 2002 or around there, where he played a bunch a different kind of music. Have heard everything up to the Sasha mix. Would agree with the Goa mix that is a classic, a few of those sets I could do without, the Coxy set is a killer as well.

How about Desyn's first set from around 2004 and Lawler first set as well, pretty sure there are a few Diggers gems as well, also how about Sasha @ Ally Pally from 98 I think, that one is retarded.

Need to catch up on quite a few of the older ones. Don't think I've heard anything prior to the 99 sets. At least I don't remember.

Would have liked to see JZ's 2004 and SK's 2001 sets listed though.

Greg Wilson's mix is worthy of mention? Really? I'm not saying he sucks or anything like that at all, but his E-Mix to me was nothing at all memorable.

The E-mix last night with Breakage was incredible. I'm not calling it a top one as compared to the legendary ones already mentioned, but I highly recommend it.
