Just now getting around to responding to this and if anyone else can clarify, I'd appreciate it (ie, tracklistings that differ (or if the stuff is *completely* different on different versions), etc.) too.... Zenon sez:

These come from the UK Ntone (which is supposed to be the "experimental" or ambientish arm of the NInja empire).

quoted 2 lines V/A - Earthrise Ninja 1

> V/A - Earthrise Ninja 1 > V/A - Earthrise Ninja 2 (2-CD) Instinct / Shadow

These are apparently US compilations (altho I don't think I've seen them in stores - the only US comps I've seen are TripHop & Jazz (1CD) and If Ya Can't STand Da Beatz (2CD)).

> v/A - Ninja Cuts 1 > V/A - Ninja Cuts 2

UK comps of Ninja artists.

I thought this *was* Ninja Cuts 2 instead of being a separate release.

quoted 1 line V/A - Earthrise Ntone 1

> V/A - Earthrise Ntone 1

US comp of Ntone artists (and there's an Ntone 2 out now - both on Instinct/Shadow if I'm not mistaken)

What I recently heard from a cat at Instinct is that there is only an Earthrise.ntone.1 and an Earthrise.ninja.2. That is, the numbers increment with the changes of labels. Presumably, Earthrise.x.3 will feature label x. At any rate, the above 2 are the only Earthrise ninja/ntone comps I've found so far. Best, Zenon M. Feszczak Ntonalist
