¹ There are three listings of this album on iTunes. All are the same exact albums with the only difference being the record label each was released under (oh, and that iTunes had to, I assume, label one as "Electronic," the other as "Electronica," and the third one as "World" to further differentiate the three). There are two albums released in Mar 27, 2002 (both located in different parts of the store) and one is from RESPECT RECORD Ltd. and the other is from Respect Records / Far Side Music. The album released on Jun 24, 2002 is from Riverboat Records/World Music Network. ↩
