I think the songs are better, just because there's more confidence in the band's sound. But there's no radical change of direction, because I think we had a good direction in the first place. It's just that because originally 'AntiMatter' was released over here in the end of '93, which is quite a while ago, I wanted to make sure that if we were going to get a first album release in the States, that in effect it should be the best of what the band has done so far. If somebody loves it so much that they want those early tracks off the first 'AntiMatter,' they can always I guess get an import copy. But for general availability, I just wanted people to have the best of what he had done up to the 'Cyberia' album and give them the most value for the money possible. And I hope we've done that. There's well over an hour of music in the CD, and I really hope we've managed to give them the quality for the money."
