I have just bought Kronos / Riley's "Sunrise of the Planetary Dream Collector" (the disc that is the new bit of the box) as a stand-alone release. It's fantastic. If you are looking to delve deeper, I was Kronos Quartet's publicist here for their first three Nonesuch releases back in the 80s and I can highly recommend both White Man Sleeps and Winter Was Hard if you do not have them. Rock journalists got sucked in by the costumes and the Hendrix cover etc but underneath all that is an almost unparalleled bedrock commitment to commissioning and performing new music.
