About Delta Machine, on Amazon you can download the additional 4 songs from the second CD for about a buck and a quarter each. I think you could just then burn them to CD? I'm not sure, I actually don't use physical CDs much anymore, everythings on an iOS device or I am listening to SiriusXM in the car. I even tend to stream via Bluetooth from the iPod to the car stereo rather than put CDs in.
I have the deluxe edition (total 17 songs) and can confirm that the songs on the second CD, oddly enough are some of the better ones on the album, but I have to say overall that I feel the direction DM has gone with their music has mostly not been the same since Alan Wilder left. Don't get me wrong, they've still got a great and unique sound, it's just that something has gone missing and my personal opinion is that it's Alan.
Do you listen to FirstWave on SiriusXM? Swedish Egil (one of the DJs) is a huge DM fan, but he listened to Delta Machine right around the same time I heard it for the first time, and I have to say his summary mirrors mine.... he said he felt that it was a decent effort overall, but it lacked at least one catchy tune that stays in your head that DM used to be famous for. I've seen others say they'd rather see quality of songs over quantity, and that's how I feel about it.
