Comments: This has 5 tracks that the 2001 Matrix release by Millenium Eight doesn't have.  Tracks 10, 16, 18, 19 and 20 are not on that CD reissue.  Track 19 is also on the Millenium Eight CD reissue of Bride's first album, Show No Mercy, and tracks 10, 16 and 18 were recorded for Show No Mercy (these are the early Matrix versions, of course).  But I think track 20 remains exclusive on CD to this release.  I originally thought all of these tracks were from the two Matrix demos PG-13 and Monkey See, Monkey Do, but the inserts don't specifically say this, and I think that the first disc of the M8 Matrix release is claiming to be the complete reissue of those 2 demos.  So I guess I'll just have to wait until the day when I can grab those 2 demos on eBay or trade for them before I'll know for sure.
