Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Although they're essentially just expanded versions of the single-disc 1991 compilation Innovator - Soundtrack For The Tenth Planet, these 1996 to 1998 multi-disc releases (and reissues thereof) have a number of differences from the original, as well as between each other. Complicating matters are a number of unique, missing, or erroneous titles printed on the packaging, and in the way the tracks are numbered and sequenced on the discs themselves. Some tracks are heavily edited as well.
