Comments: |
Compilation. 6 CD box set (3 double CD boxes). This was the first compilation
the band released after their contracts with Virgin and Jive Electro expired,
hence the music rights reverted to the band enabling them to release this
compilation which contains music from all periods of their career between
1971 and 1990 (despite the name, no tracks from the 1970 album 'Electronic
Meditation' appear). First went on sale at the 'Ground Liftaz' event on
the 28 October 2000, but was not released worldwide until November. All
but three of the studio tracks first appeared on the compilation box sets
'Tangents' and 'The Dream
Roots Collection' as 'Tangentised' versions (i.e. the original tracks
have been remixed and remastered with more modern sound textures layered
on top of the original sounds). Contains a fair amount of previously unreleased
live versions of previously released studio tracks (on discs 4, 5 and 6).
The track times given on the sleeve are not very accurate, the above times
are taken from the author's CD player. * From the 1982 Australian tour. Stated as being in two parts on the sleeve, but in fact it plays as one track on the CD itself. ** These tracks were originally new releases only previously available on the compilation box set 'Tangents' *** This track is the 'Dream Encores' version, not the original version found on 'Logos'. **** Previously (probably incorrectly) spelt 'Vulcano' ***** The original 1987 version, not the 1992 Relativity version ****** Previously unreleased original tracks (T) Previously available in 'Tangentised' form on the compilation box set 'Tangents' (DR) Previously available in 'Tangentised' form on the compilation box set 'The Dream Roots Collection' (S) Shorter than the original 'Tangentised' versions (track 30 has the beginning cut off, not the end) (O) The only studio tracks in the set which have not been 'Tangentised' (3 in all), these are the original album versions. |
