I've since forgotten and I think nobody answered. The question had to do with the track listing on Innovator. The track listing on the cover of the Transmat (US domestic) release is WRONG! I decided since I was in such a Detroit listening mood, to go through it and figure it out. So here are my findings. Derrick May - Innovator (Transmat US) CD1 1) "rest" 1:08 2) strings of the strings of life 8:22 3) another kaos beyond kaos 0:50 4) freestyle 4:30 5) beyond kaos 1:31 6) the dance 7:13 7) a little spaced out 0:57 8) daymares 0:33 9) it is what it is 6:27 10) ? (chords from it is...) 0:09 11) ? (another synth chord) 0:09 12) beyond the dance (cult mix) 6:59 13) original feel sureal 0:54 14) ? (beyond a synth chord) 0:19 r-theme 6:21 CD2 1) to be or not to be 5:48 2) icon (montage mix) 5:49 3) phantom 1:46 4) kaotic harmony 6:33 5) more phantom 1:11 6) salsa life 5:27 7) nude photo 5:39 8) the beginning (pt. 1) 5:25 9) the beginning (pt. 2) 3:30 10) another relic from the relics 1:01 11) drama 4:29 12) "strings" - the original mix 6:04 13) wiggin - juan atkins mix 6:14 The naming of The Beginning as separate parts is due to the fact that there is a CD track change in the middle of the song. The song has no audible break in it however. The three unnamed tracks have question marks which are simply synth sounds. I also happen to have the R&S 5x12" LP box set of Innovator. So I thought I'd do the proper trainspotter thing here and list differences. One thing before I begin. Unlike the US Transmat release all the track names and ordering is correct on the R$S LP comp. The only mistake is track C2, which is listed as Daymares, It Is What It Is. This is simply It Is What It Is and has no Daymares with it. Firstly there are several tracks on both comps which are the same but named differently. I'll list these first. US CD track# name on R&S box set ------------ ------------------- CD1 track 5 B2) A Rest / Beyond Kaos CD1 track 13 D2) Feel Surreal Ends The Feel Surreal CD2 track 5 G2) Phantom Lurks CD2 track 10 I1) A Relic Long Ago CD2 track 12 J1) Strings Of Life Tracks on the R&S LP comp, which aren't on the US Transmat CD: C2) Some More Spaced Out E1) Emanon Begins E2) Sinister E3) The End I3) Emanon Ends I4) Winter On The Blvd J2) Dreams Of Dreamers Tracks on the US Transmat CD, which aren't on the R&S LP comp: CD1 track 1) "rest" CD1 track 8) daymares That's about all the info I have. I could get really sick and find out which original releases the tracks on both comps come from. I don't really have the time though. I guess my trainspotting has run out for the day. I don't have the R&S CD nor the Sony Japan release, so if anyone has them and finds differences, I'd like to know. -rbc3
