One thing I wish they'd do is put some money into visuals that actually go with the songs...the random You-Tube hopping is annoying. It would be great to see, say, the sleeves come to life. Hell, even static projections of the sleeves would be better.
I quite liked the visuals at Troxy/Brixton, but yes bringing the sleeves to life would be a nice idea. When the "Singles" comp came out a few years back, I remember a little link being added to NOOL courtesy of Warners - the leaf logo from the compilation falling gracefully. I can't find it now alas...
The 2manydj's boys have of course being doing this for several years now. i was lucky enough to catch their set at the Hop Farm in 2009 without knowing the visual treat they had in store for us.
Their individual Radio Soulwax "Programmes" are worth checking out here:
http://www.2manydjs.com/radio/ (press the pay arrow at the bottom left of the screen to watch the current programme). Or else ignore the schedule and get it as an app for Iphone or android. (incidentally my android phone wasn't compatible but there is an "unofficial RSWX" app which is actually the same and intended for those who cant use the official one). You can then pick which of their programmes you want to watch when you want.
Here's some footage from their 09 tour. i like the bit around 4.20 when the GnR album cover comes to life
the Clash Rock the Casbah stuff is nice here too:
