Yeah, that sounds like the remixes album that you have! Unfortunately Shadow doesn't pump out as many tracks as people around him which is a shame. But there are enough other decent artists out there who could no doubt please ya I'm sure!
Next time you're wandering through a record shop, have a check out of Ninja Tune's Zen compilations that are out now. One 2CD version with their best tracks from the 10 or so years that they've been going, and another 2CD version with the best remixes that they've had. They're a good label and something should hit home for ya!

Yeah, Shadow is very much on the serious side! If you're after fun along the lines of DJ Format, DJ Yoda's How To Cut And Paste A Mixtape series is good, the Ninja Tune Solid Steel mix series is pure class, Kid Koala is audio lunacy...
