The CD version ships with a bonus DVD chronicling Ferry's previous tour across America, the one which prompted this mix. It's interesting to watch through once, but is a very stripped down disc. That video is the only content accesible, even though the packaging indicates a music video for "Junk." Just know that what you're buying with this set is the single-CD mix, and the tour documentary is just a little bonus for playing along.
Overall, this is a highly enjoyable mix from Ferry. It seems to be fashionable as of late to extend DJ mixes out over two discs for a perceived increase of value. This would be great, except that oftentimes the mix itself seems to suffer. The tendency to pad in a lot of filler in order to stretch an idea out over two discs has seemigly become quite great. Passport United States of America shifts back to the idea that less is more, as in more concentrated and to the point. It's high on listenability, which should be the chief goal of any mix. Kudos to Ferry Corsten from the United States.
