This CD was requested by a Japanese distributor and is one of those rare “Japan only releases” You maybe have heard of. As Alphaville sang in the 80s: “Big in Japan”. It featured a “best of” of the first 6 releases and 6 bonus tracks (which were re-released later in digital format as DFR017).

Now, as to why this is DFR010, when it was made between DFR005 and DFR006, I don't remember. According to my own official website, I had planned “best of” releases for every 10 releases, so DFR010, DFR020, DFR030… I don't remember this. But if that was my original plan, I completely failed it and neither DFR020 nor DFR030 are “best of” releases. I kinda regret not having done that, but then again, with everything being digital, there is no need for a “best of” release anymore anyway.
