I just made one that works pretty well called "Purple Music." (Note: when I make compilation albums, a lot of times I like just to make little 35 minute albums just to keep them tightly focused and also to fit in with the normal album length back then).

Thus, my Purple Music includes:

1.Turn it Up
2.Lust U Always
3.Climax
4.No Call U
5.Wet Dream Cousin
6.Purple Music

It almost kinda plays like a (mostly) instrumental album by The Time!

I'm working on one right now called New Power Generation, which will include:

1.Cross the Line
2.New Power Generation (Part 1)
3.New Power Generation (Part 2)
4.I Wonder
5.Play
6.Soul Psychodelicide
7.Me Touch Myself
8.I Love U in Me
9.The Voice Inside
10.Open Book

An another 1 , entitled "beautiful strange":

-Beautiful strange (rave in2 version)
-I like it there
-Dolphin
-What's my name
-Calhoun square
-5 women
-Peach
-Empty room
-Da bang
-Don't play me
-Poorgoo
-Bambi (the undertaker version)
-The undertaker

This is cool, Jus.

Personally speaking, I'd separate the interchange between How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore and Shhh. Musically, I think it is too harsh (maybe, that's the point?) and they're from different eras. Also, Power Fantastic seems somewhat out of place. Perhaps, towards the end of the album?

OK, here's a more detailed run down of the tracklist
with notes on each song...

disc 1:
1. Welcome 2 The Dawn (2:08 ) - slightly edited version of 'The Truth' track, used as a kind of intro to the album.
2. NPG Operator (0:11) - edited to say "Hello, welcome 2 the dawn, playground 4 the new power generation. There are over 500 experiences 2 choose from, press 'come' 2 begin."
3. Come (part 1) (2:57) - the 'Beautiful Experience' remix, with the organ solo and ending mixed in from the 'Glam Slam Ulysses' version. segues directly into...
4. Endorphin Machine (3:50) - the original version, taken from the 'Come' test pressing. Segues directly into...
5. Space (5:11) basically the same as the album version, but with a breakdown section near the end created by using small parts of the 'Universal Love Mix' and the 'Funky Stuff' mix. Ending segues into...
6. Days Of Wild (7:15) - basically an edit of the 'Crystal Ball' version, but with the scorching guitar solo from the NPGMC year 1 ahdio show version.
7. NPG Operator (0:17) - same as on 'The Gold Experience', except the crowd noise from 'Days Of Wild' fades out during the intro whooshes.
8. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (4:54) - the 'Gold Experience' version mixed into the extended ending from the 'Mustang 96' version.
9. The Pope (4:32) - remix, using 'The Hits' version with a drum loop from the npg's 'Acknowledge Me' to beef up the beat a bit. Uses parts from the 12" remix of 'Pope' to create an extended ending. Also has a sample from 'D.M.S.R.' looped in near the end.
10. Ripopgodazippa (4:36) - same as on 'Crystal Ball' though the intro does overlap the ending of 'The Pope'.
11. NPG Operator (0:06) - "If U would like 2 access another experience, here's how."
12. Race (8:01) - extended remix, made using the long 'Outta Space' part from the unreleased version of the NPG's 'Super Hero'. Sample noises from 'Race' are looped in to the extended part to keep it sounding like one long extended 'live in the studio' jam.
13. Empty Room (3:16) - the updated '94 version that was played on the video screens pre-concert during the 'Gold Experience' live shows.
14. NPG Operator (0:06) - "Please access another experience"
15. Mad (5:29) - same as NPGMC version
16. Rock & Roll Is Alive(4:30) - pitch shifted up a tone to put into the right key to 'sound right' inbetween 'Mad' and 'Shhh'. Hard edits out of 'Mad' to keep the beat going, and ending segues into...
17. Shhh (7:25) - same as on 'The Gold Experience' except for the overlap on the intro.

disc 2:
1. Pussy Control (5:38 ) - the VH1 fashion awards version with a tiny bit from 'The Gold Experience' version on the intro.
2. NPG Operator (0:08 ) - edited to say, "That was just an example of the many experiences The Dawn has 2 offer. There are over 500 experiences 2 choose from, here's a sample"
3. Peach (3:04) - the 'Hits' version, with a different ending using part of 'The Purple Medley' so it can segue into...
4. Chaos & Disorder (4:12) - pitch shifted up a tone to put it in the same key as 'Peach', also has a slightly longer intro. No heartbeat outro.
5. Shy (4:56) - street sounds an footsteps on intro segue out of the ending of 'Chaos & Disorder'.
6. NPG Operator (0:14) - same as the one on 'The Gold Experience' used before '319'.
7. Pheromone (4:27) - same as on 'Come' except for a small extra intro bit taken from the unreleased intrumental version.
8. 319 (3:19) - same as on 'The Gold Experience', the hotel lobby intro is included as part of the song, which makes the running time exactly 3:19 as it should be. (It was a sequencing error on 'The Gold Experience' that added it to the NPG Operator intro rather than the song itself.)
9. 18 & Over (6:10) - the longer unreleased version, slightly edited to create a proper ending
10. NPG Operator (0:14) - the unreleased "And now a word from our sponsors. Get on the dancefloor mf!" 'Loose' intro

6. What's My Name (3:01) - same as on 'Crystal Ball', but with Prince's "Welcome 2 the dawn" intro added back. The final cymbal crash is replaced by the intro to...
