There are some odd choices for standout tracks there. Communist China? Of the few songs I like from the first two albums, that isn't one of them. Seratonin? Some Kind of Fool? Considering the collections they come from. I disagree with the assessment of Rain Tree Crow, as well. Where is Steve and Richard's solo stuff? What about YMO, Ippu-do, and Akiko Yano? Forbidden Colors?

The Sakamoto thread of collaborations deserves a note as well, it's a pretty stunning collection, taken together.
