Thanks so much for putting this up; it's very helpful. It'd be great, too, to have a list of the bonus tracks for each release. I have tried to keep a list going as they've come out but I'm sure it's incomplete. Some of the unreleased tracks only appear in the various anthologies Irwin put together, like "Explore the Cosmos." I don't see those listed here. Anyway, this is an amazing resource and it's great to have all this available.

And also, a general "thank-you" for this amazing blog! Tons of great stuff here. I'm not much of a commenter so I have been remiss in expressing my appreciation. Cheers!

Saturnally,
Sam

Although the preamble says these releases are not available in high-res download and only as mp4a and mp3, sites like Bleep.com are selling the Enterplanetary Koncepts discs also in FLAC and WAV. I assume these are legit high-res files???+
