Well, it's 3 CDs of selected tracks from his Mille Plateaux albums (with the tracks from the Electric Ladyland comps and a couple of unreleased tracks thrown in to make us 'spotters buy it). If you've got all his Mille Plateaux albums and Electric Ladylands, you don't need it, 'cos the unreleased trax aren't worth getting it for (but wait, strike that, I *am* posting to idm after all :-)). The sequencing seems odd though - it splits up all the tracks from each release all over the discs (and it seems like it does this randomly). This could work, I haven't listened to it yet, I'm just going by my memory that each release had pretty much its own separate mood and I can't see how putting the tracks all over the place would really work. Guess that's what programming is for..... > (I wonder when that Geist label is gonna get a fax from Morgan) Probably never, since geist is just German for spirit.... :-) > - Greg Hope this helps..... cya brian --------------------------------------------------------- "The most dementing of all modern sins: that of mistaking success for excellence." - David Hare, playwright
