Sure, i'll try! Yes, the tracks are either reworkings of tracks from Von (which i like because of its rock edge, something closer to OK-Computer-era radiohead than the dramatic, ethereal tracks that SR is more noted for), a couple unreleased tracks (i guess you could call them B-Sides, but they're characteristically fully developed, and one a.k.a. "Rokklagia" has been kicking around their concerts for years, and i'm happy to hear it released oficially), and 6 acoustic versions of tracks from each of their 4 LPs.
I was a bit diappointed with Takk, as it seemed kind of stuck in the ( ) mode...nothing wrong with sticking to your gunbs, and it certainly is a lovely sound, but there didn't seem to be any progress. The latest offering is a fine reminder of live concerts i've enjoyed and some bits from their past.
