how much control do you suppose they had over the original ISDN release? apparently not very much considering they were simply taking UK copies, shrinkwrapping them and throwing a sticker on. so, now that they're doing another version for people who missed it the first time around, you think that's a bad thing? i beg to differ. if you're a kollektorskum who absolutely must have those two new tracks, then you get what you deserve. given astralwerks commendable policy towards issuing ANY of this stuff to start with, anything extra is just bonus points. i mean, i will gladly shell out $15 for two new FSOL tracks. i'm a sucker and i fully appreciate that i will just have to live with my obssession.

except you can get them domestically thru Virgin US for $16 a pop. $8/disc for a reasonable selection of classic ambience BOTHERS you? hell, i bought the first one on import for $20. that's hardly a rip off.
