Got this in the mail yesterday. After one (rushed) listen, the tracks
seem to be of generally high quality. A wide range of styles coexist,
which could be an asset or a liability depending on your tastes- I dig
it. The packaging doesn't mention whether these tracks as a whole are
exclusive or "previously unreleased". 

The MoM track isn't off of 'autoditacker', but may well have come from a
single or one of the Mouse's (many) other recent releases
('Instrumentals' LP out now, and the x@x release). 

The Oval track, crediting only Markus Popp, is almost certainly
previously unreleased. It follows on from their earlier work (and the
Microstoria releases), but represents a new kind of sound for Oval-
still beautifully noisy but without the foreground of CD-pops and skips
they had previously employed.

The rest of the tracks range from semi-this-listy efforts (Moby/Voodoo
Child, Scanner) to drone-workouts (AUBE, E.A.R.) to Bubble Core's own
indie-experimental style (Mice Parade, Dylan Group).
