I bought the Hidden Camera ep (import) on cd, and then the Ni Ten Ichi Ryu 12", before Risc vs. Reward came out. Imagine my surprise when i saw that almost all the tracks i had bought were compiled onto one, easy to listen to cd, for about half as much money as i had spent. Then when Modus Operandi was released, i was shocked to find, once again, almost all the tracks that i already had, duplicated again! I mean I still love the music, but music costs me enough already without having stuff like this happen (at least I have those 2 extra tracks). Now if only the earlier 12"s were this easy to find. I have managed to find the U.F.O. 12" in distributors catalog, but I'm not sure if my order will get filled (I thought everything before Ni Ten.. was out of print). Any one have info about what stuff is out of print, or news on whether they will be re-released individually or on a comp.?
