So much good stuff.
If I had to pick favourites, then maybe:
From Vol. 1: Vince Clarke, Fuck Buttons, Gesaffelstein, Tangerine Dream, Carpenter.
From Vol. 2: PSB, Gary Numan, The Orb and Jarre's own tracks.
But really, even most of the ones I didn't mention are quite good. Interestingly, I didn't care that much for the Zimmer at all. It didn't really sound like Zimmer had anything to do with it.

Are you kidding me? This is so melodic, it's insane! Some superb hooks as well. And of course, I love the riff on the Purcell piece in "Twenty Something" (the same tune Michael Nyman has used -- and of course they've also both used classical music in "Love is a Borgeouis Construct" and "The Draughtsman's Contract", respectively).
It's certainly far superior to both ELECTRIC and the disappointing ELYSEUM.
IMO, it can only be rivalled by some of the late 80s/early 90s classics.
I am a big PSB fan and I agree with Thor that Super is very hooky and very good, yes this is more on the techno dance end of the spectrum, but that is what they set out to do. I would welcome a return to the electro-pop ballad end of things for them. But Super is still terrific. I still adore Behavior and Very, well I have to stop myself but I will even defend what seems unfairly maligned Elysium - melancholy ballads and sub-bass sadness. I feel like there is plenty of PSB to go around, they are amazing.
I got the Pop Kids remix single disc and it has a couple other pretty terrific tracks on there, In Bits, One Hit Wonder. I recommend you get it.
