I don't think so. The place I work actually has 1 & 2 in stock. Which is
saying something. All of the collections are tremendous. Well, maybe not
that good, but certainly educational regarding the history of ambient and to a
lesser extent IDM.
Just to hear Prince Far I on an "ambient" record is worth the cost. And where
else would you think to find a FSOL remix of David Sylvian/Robert Fripp? Or
Massive Attack recreating the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan? I'll quit rambling
...
I know 1, 2, & 3 are all domestically released by Caroline. 4 is available
only as an import (Dutch, I think). I picked another copy up 2 months ago for
$10 at a local Blockbuster Music. They're out there, to paraphrase Richard
Dreyfuss.
