Info on last FIVE Oval CDs (redux)



So, I guess no one knows (or has time to care about) the details here?
I agree that it's an extreme pain in the ass to have different versions
all over the place, but I thought folks here would know the answers to
the various questions below.  Obviously some of you have these discs
since I've seen them all mentioned before.  Again, _any_ info you
can provide would be much appreciated.

Feel free to mail me off list if that's the best place for this. :)

It looks like Popp/Oval has released 5 different CDs in the last year.
If anyone owns any of these and can fill me (and anyone else interested)
in on the details I've listed under each it would be much appreciated:

# Oval - "Ovalprocess" JAP CD (Tokuma: TKCB-71869)  5/24/2000
  [Japanese version of "Ovalprocess" with 15 tracks (61 min.)
  listed as a +4 ("Excel", "Newslo", Stueck" & "K-Sum"), which
  I assume means the US edition has 11 tracks.  Any hidden
  tracks here?]

# Oval - "Ovalprocess" US CD (Thrill Jockey)  6/20/2000
  [11 tracks plus ** three ** hidden tracks 20 min. after the
  last track (also on the German version on Form & Function)
  making the total time 74 minutes.  Anyone know if these tracks
  are 3 (or any) of the 4 bonus tracks on the Japanese issue?]

# Oval - "Precommers" JAP CD (Tokuma: TKCB-71941)  10/25/2000
  [Popp processing Oval sounds, 1996-99.  8 tracks listed on
  digipak, but actually has 12 (extra "I", "II", "III" & "IV").
  Supposedly a US Thrill Jockey issue later in 2001 (???) or
  is this one exclusive to Japan?]

# Oval - "Commers" JAP CD (Tokuma: TKCB-72060)  3/28/2001
  [Japanese version of "Ovalcommers" or "Commers" (whichever you
  prefer to call it) with 14 tracks???  Any hidden ones here?]

# Oval - "Ovalcommers" US CD (Thrill Jockey)  5/22/2001
  [Supposedly contains ** three ** hidden tracks available only
  on the US edition ... would these be at the end (again) after
  a bunch of silence, or _immediately_ after the last track and
  not titled?  How many tracks are _listed_ on the sleeve?]
