 Note: At least on the CD the track order as listed on the sleeve
 is wrong. Actually the Cygnus X Mix is track 2, and not 1 as the
 sleeve indicates.

Note: Yes, this track is spelled slightly different on Single and Compilation release. Probably they used at first "Madagasga" and then noticed that it was misspelled, so they used the correct "Madagascar" for all later releases.
