Notes:The track listing on the back of the CD case for CD 1, though representing the correct track order of the original three Black Dog EPs as released as they play, is the incorrect track listing for what is on the CD itself. The correct track order is below.

Other mislabelings:
"The Age Of Slack" should be "Age Of Slack"
"Seer & Sages" should be "Seers And Sages"
"Glassolalia" should be "Glossolalia"
"Virtual Hmmm" should be "Virtual HMMM.."
"VIR2L" should be "Vir²l"

Both "Virtual" and "Tactile" have slight mix variations to the originals. In "Virtual" there is no fade up in the beginning and the end is edited short making it nearly 30 seconds shorter than the original. In "Tactile" the hi hats have been removed from a 6 second segment at around 3:09.

This is a must have collection for those who love sci-fi-like techno from the very dawn of the 90s. Book Of Dogma offers the first six Black Dog EP for the first time ever on cd and after almost 20 years it still sounds like an ultimate classic. This is why techno made for!

Too bad that the original formation split up in 1995. They could have been the leaders of the second generation techno producers.
