I have a 2cd which I think is the one you are talking about, called
'Booming on Pluto: Electro for Droids'.  it has loads of classics eg
Planet Rock, Time Space Transmat, Dead Cities, Watermelon Man and loads of
other good stuff.  it is the 3rd in a series compiled by David Toop, the
first two being Ocean of Sound, and Ocean of Sound 2: Crooning on Venus.
I don't know about the second, but the first is amazing - featuring
Debussy, Miles Davis, John Cage, Aphex Twin, Beach boys, King Tubby....... 
- it's like listening to the perfect John Peel show.  And it has the
awesome Boat Woman Song, truncated i think, but spinechilling nevertheless
I would give tracklistings, but I have had to abandon a lot of my Cds
several thousand miles away (sob)
