Superb box set, well-crafted, stunning selection of edgy yet catchy sounds, and the dj's/remixers: a class of their own. Still sounds fresh and way ahead from most of current dance pop and mainstream remixes.
Apart from the 'Readymade/524' mixes, Tsunaga and Akakage mixes are also top-notch.
It's a shame the box set didn't include the Very Best of Punch The Monkey Live Mix from TsunagaT'Experience.
It's been long out of print, and the remaining copies are scarce. I've been lucky enough to get a copy for under £50 through amazon marketplace

Thanks a lot for your review! I need to listen to this again as it's been a little while.
