The problem is the Record Industry and different deals for different countries. The same problem appeared with 808 State's recent album, "Outpost Transmission". First, it got released in Japan with a bonus track, then in the UK without the bonus track, and finally in the US and Europe with 5 new tracks! Since 808 didn't have a record deal in the US, and it came out after the UK release, the record companies needed to entice the fans with different/exclusive tracks, and they also make decisions on which tracks to put on the album, depending on the reaction to the first release! It sucks, but there's not a lot we can do if we want all the tracks... L8rs, Nick ;-)
it sure does cost a lot to be an orb completist now-a-days...3 different versions of this album (US, Europe, Japan)??? what a joke...

The US deal has been finalized although i dont have a release date... US album will have extra bonus tracks although as i understand not the same as the Europe release... But dont hold me to that yeah.
Well I feel a little better now, and I did like that track Abstractions. The Japanese version was just far too short.
