Paul O'Connell Third time I’ve bought this- the 3cd version back in 95, 4CD in 2015 & now again now I have a Bandcamp account. (My 1000th purchase when the single was the 1st).

It’s a truly epic and transportative work, with some of my favourite tracks later on. Despite my prior scepticism towards non-physical media, being able to listen back to back without fiddling with CDs is invaluable in certain circumstances.

Paul Howard Stands up as a classic, timeless album. and Played my old double cd to death and just found this 4cd edition and had to have. Sublime! Budget allowing I will be collecting the other special editions ASAP.

about

20 years ago Planet Dog released one of the all-time classic albums of modern electronica - Last Train to Lhasa – which reached #31 in the UK Album Charts and #1 in the UK Independent Charts. Misconstrued at the time as a Tibetan-themed album (it actually contains only one Tibetan sample), its groove-inflected, multicultural soundscapes helped to form the blueprint for much of today's global electronica, with its influence evident today in acts such as Public Service Broadcasting.

To mark the anniversary of its release, Disco Gecko Recordings have created a limited edition, physical-only (no downloads or streams) 4 disc box set, featuring previously unheard alternative and extended ambient mixes as well as a handful of fresh remixes by like-minded artists.

Disc 1 features the original fully re-mastered album plus the previously unreleased Eagle, which was created during the album sessions, but for one reason or another never made it on to the album in its original form.

Discs 2 and 3 offer a mix of previously released extended mixes (some from the original limited edition multi-disc issue of the LP) and a handful of unreleased mixes.

Disc 4 features guest remixers.
