The US version adds Living For The Spangled Moment and

Contemplation is on disc 1 of 'Duplex'. Great track. The track list significantly overlaps with 'Vistamix'.

There are I think 2 versions of 'Wildest Dreams' on the 12" that have never been on cd too. Also the dub mix of 'Acceleration' which is much bet

[:)] WOW, THANKS all of you for the excellent info. Some of those albums I have never heard of. My tiny collection includes not only "The Love That Whirls", but also "La Bella Et La Bete" (Beauty & the Beast). Gosh, I haven't listened to this stuff in yea
