You must have been short changed becuase my 3CD copy came with an inlay which lists all 3 discs. I'll drop you the titles tomorrow if I remember. In spite of this it is fairly easy to see from the layout of the packaging that it is a bonus disc (different catno's on the two spines of the big box and a sticker over the barcode) I too have had "Maya" for a while, purchased 2nd hand, and find it somewhat mixed, but I gave this one a try partly because it was such good value at 13.49, (the usual price of one CD in ripoff stores like HMV) for 3 CDs. I find the rhythms he uses on both albums sound a bit laboured and not very original, but the majority of "Last Train" (espececially discs 2 and 3) is more ambient, or has rhythms that drift in and out, and here the music really impresses. Like you say it doesn't seem to break much new ground, yet all works very well as a whole. Another vote on the "Aye" side.
