Art of Noise boxset: comments?

Well, first off, someone correct me if i'm wrong, but its nice to FINALLY get the correct "into battle" version of "beat Box", on cd... my Repertoir version of 'into battle' had the 8:20 version, not the 5+ min version. BUT... i dont like the way 'into battle' is mastered on disc 4 of the box. the timing and pauses are off, and volumes seemingly inconsistent. Now... overall whats my impression. Great packaging. The audio content? sadly. its forgettable and miss-able. just lots of noodling around with existing tracks. not really different versions exciting enough to be worthwhile. Plus, all the renaming! "41 unreleased tracks". well, if noodled around variations of "backbeat" equating to 14 differently titled tracks is your thing.... there are still many other tracks they could have or should have included. The shep pettibone jukebox 7" promo for 'beat box' (remix) comes to mind immediately.... but maybe Island owns the copyright to that one. Id have to consult my vinyl catalog, but i think the white picture disc for 'close' had some unique versions on it, as well as the 3 (pink cover) variations (read the matix #) 12" for "close". something was special somewhere, i'm sure, and its not here, and still not on cd....
