Chilled / non-techno mixes

Gutted to hear of Mimi's passing - Low have been one of those bands that have helped me through thick and thin since getting into them 15-odd years ago. Their 13 albums have an amazing amount of unforgettable songs, and at the centre of it all Mimi is usually the standout. I wanted to select something from each album plus a few other faves and string them together to highlight how much different ground the band has covered while having a consistent identity. One of a kind band and Mimi will be sorely missed but never forgotten.
