Dead Can Dance on SACD

I have to admit that I never heard of this group until I received an Email from Elusive Disk and then ran into this thread. I got curious so I started sampling on iTunes. Well, I'm all in now, but I have a question: Why were "Wake" and "A Passage In Time" omitted from this project?

Phaelon, "A Passage in Time" was released by Rykodisc, not 4AD recordings, so it's outside the label that's doing this project. "Wake" is a compilation, and the project was just the original nine studio albums. I agree that it would be nice to offer "Wake" as a good intro to this group. I was introduced to DCD through an unexpected source, a professor who is the director of our local Bach festival. He started raving about them one day and I checked them out, my esteem for them has only grown since.

And "A Passage In Time" is also just a greatest hits comp.

My set came today. I'll spend some time with them later tonight.
