Well, I'm playing my copy of Metatronic. Surprisingly, I've got into the main compilation disc; that was the one I thought I wouldn't play, since I had everything on it, aside from Underpants extended.
If anything, the live album doesn't do much for me - again I find the mix a little difficult.
But back to the point - this is a really well and cleverly chosen selection of songs. It's not a "best of" or singles collection, or anything of the sort. Metatronic CD1 really feels like a carefully selected snapshot of John's electro work, but in a chronological way. It plays like an album, rather than compilation.
