I picked up a British import copy that included an a few different tracks
than what you listed (I haven't seen the US domestic release)

Track 5 is a cover of Rocket's Tail with Gilmour doing the oh-so-familiar
riffs with Wright and Mason playing a wonderful accompaniment.  I'm just
thankful they didn't have Waters singing the lyrics.  I don't think he has
the range and depth necessary.  It's supposed to be included on their
upcoming album 'Awake on the Verge of Insanity' next spring.

Track 9 is actually a medly of Cloudbusting and Hounds of Love done
by They Might Be Giants.  It's eerie the way they blend the songs together,
you just never expect the transissions.  Other than that, it's a great tune
too.

Probably the most disappointing song they included was Enya's rendition of
My Lagan Love (Track 10)  I don't know, I kinda thought the Celtic lilt
sounded a little funny.  Of course mileage will vary.  I sure the die-hard
Enya fans will gobble this one up.

Oh, one difference I noticed in the earlier track listing and the import
version is that mine included the Tilt version of Running Up That Hill
 instead of Paula Abdul  I heard it had something to with licensing and
the outcome of the Negativland/Island lawsuit settlement, which occured
after the CD had already gone to press.

If don't have this already, go check it out.  I think it's a lot better
quality that 'Two Rooms' and it's certainly gotta go in any KaTeIdolizing
worshipper's collection.
