There is a Japanese import version that has 5 tracks instead of 3 - it is the CD1 and CD2 put together onto 1 CD. The cover is in color instead of Black and White. Save yourself money (and room in your CD collection) and get all of the tracks on one disc!

By the way - the live tracks are fantastic. The whole disc rocks.

Although Björk's more recent singles have lacked in the number of songs per disc, they certainly do not lack quality. This is the first part of a two CD/one DVD set, and this is a wonderful opener. Of course, the first song is the single itself, the "Greatest Hits" version of "It's In Our Hands," and, while many of her fans have complained that it lacks the energy that it was given in its live treatment on the 2001 tour, I find this version to be superior. The second song is a reworking of "Cocoon" by Ensemble. This track, the second of Ensemble's Björk remixes, is not as good as the original, but it does bring the song towards a warmer, elctronic climate - a gentle contrast to "Vespertine." Lastly, the disc concludes with a live version of "All Is Full Of Love" sure to bring you to tears. Overall, this single is not a bad choice, especially considering its the limited quantity availiable.

This single and the other It's in Our Hands singles, are just gorgeous. The remix of Cocoon by Ensemble is just totally introverted compared to the first, and just simply beautiful. It made me love the song even more. The live version of All is Full of Love is absolutely wonderful. If you need only one reason to buy this single, the live version of AIFOL is your reason. Overall the whole single collection of Its In Our Hands is a must have for any bjorkophile and single collector. It even is appropriate for anyone who just loves Its in Our Hands.

Comes in a standard jewel case with front insert (folds out to a mini poster of a drawing) but no back insert.
1. It's In Our Hands: good song from the Greatest Hits album.
2. Cocoon (Retangled by Ensemble): great re-working of the song EXCEPT for the intro which is just a MINUTE of the same noises over and over. They could have reduced the intro to about 10 seconds and it would have been less annoying.
3. All Is Full Of Love (Live): The reasong to get this CD. Sounds amazing live.
