"Further" and "Radius²" were the only entirely new tracks on Burning Empires. "Lastlight" was a remix of "Firstlight"/"Arclight" from Empires. The exclusive version of "Savior" has a full vocal track (the previously released album version is an instrumental).
A cover of "Further" by the band LifeForce was used in the video game Iji, and while not released on any CD, it was made available for public download.
