"Well, when this landed on my doormat on the Saturday of release, I though "another promo disc, 1, maybe 2 new tracks, and that's it"So I was surprised to see it is a list of tracks from all the studio albums (except Selmas Songs), from Debut through to the expected previews of Vespertine, plus vids for the PC, and some extras, including snippets of Vespertine, clips from the Book, a photo gallery, her Bio, and PC Wallpaper and screensaversThe tracks need no review, merely a listing, but they are a great introduction to Björk for people who don't know her. I have converted many a non-believer with this little gemOh, and the bonus - a version of Possibly Maybe recorded live with the Brodsky Quartet - never before released, worth the price of admission aloneFor Newcomers, who want to try a taste of Björk, this is a Good Starting Point. For Completists, a must buy. For people who have the albums and aren't as avid, maybe not, perhaps only for the PC stuff and the bonus track.So, the Runners and Riders in FullVenus as a Boy; Human Behaviour; Hyperballad; Isobel; Joga; All is Full of Love; Hidden Place; Undo; Possibly Maybe; and the PC Extras"
