The import version of Massive Attack's Collected comes as a double with a DualDisc. Disc one comes with the album as released in the States, and the disc has a standard CD layer with ten tracks not included on the single-disc version. It features some rarities, and some of the band's soundtrack work -- including the title track from Danny the Dog -- and some rarities with guest vocalists -- including "Silent Spring" and "Black Melt" with Elizabeth Fraser; "Incantations" with Horace Andy; "I Against I," with Mos Def; "Joy Luck Club," with Debbie Clare, and "Small Time Shoot 'Em Up," with backing vocals by Damon Albarn. In addition, Madonna's "I Want You" is here, with Massive Attack creating her sonically seductive backdrop. The flipside of the CD features 15 different videos. Many of them are tracks from Collected: "Daydreaming," "Be Thankful for What You've Got," "Special Cases," and "False Flags." In addition to the "Live with Me" video that hosts Terry Callier giving a stellar vocal performance, there is an alternate version. This is a lot of bang for the buck for the hardcore fans of the new blues Massive Attack fans. [A DualDisc version was also released.] ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi Read Less
