2 stars This later release includes all the tracks from the two named albums (see my reviews of those for detail), plus an alternative version of the Perception and Friends opener Le Horla, and two new tracks.

The alternative Le Horla version essentially cuts out the saxophone of the original - it is a free jazz track but without this its much calmer and I much prefer it to the original.

The other two new tracks, Improvisation Marine, and Waiting for Moby Dick, I don't really get though. Its clever, creating whale noise through instruments, but I had a headache pretty quickly.

Given my reviews of the two albums, I'd say CD1 is worth listening to if you like hints of Zeuhl and some minimalism, and CD2 if you like pure free jazz. Fans only.
