hey,
its at least all stuff mr. empire already released on mille plateaux the 
last years on his solo albums or in the electric ladyland series... 
somehow a "best of..." the mille plateaux stuff from him... 2 exclusive 
tracks only on 3 cd's... dont like that collection that much, personally 
i prefer his mille plateaux albums... it really dont fits together that 
much like each of his more conceptional album releases...
!!!?!
