SuperJags To be fair to the band, they do actually warn you that you're not going to get all the songs on the digital version in the notes at the bottom

Lord Dubious One of the best entries in the series. Lots of classic material in one place! No, you don’t get all the tracks you do with the physical release, but digital rights are a thing. Still a great bang for your buck! Favorite track: Blaue Milch.

str8sounds I buy everything by my beloved Stereolab. This new release compilation of miscellaneous stray tracks is a treasure trove of audible delights. Starting with the Nurse With Wound tracks is brilliant, they're the best. But the whole double disc album is wonderful. I own Moog Sub 37 and Matriarch, so I love them for being Moogie miracle workers in sound.

"Unity Purity Occasional is a sculpture with six hand-blown, tear-shaped glass cups filled with antibacterial hand gel that the visitor can pump out and disinfect their hands with. The song is channeled through three tubes that simultaneously blow the visitors’ hands dry with warm jets of air." [Text by Niki Kralli Anell].
