Of those three, I'd rank them best to worst as follows: _Past or
Future_, _Nik's Space Ritual_, and _Prophets of Time_.

I would say _Past or Future_ is pretty much essential and I unreservedly
recommend it.  The _Space Ritual_ one is uneven, although it has some
standout moments like "D-Rider".  _Prophets of Time_ is for Nik
kompletists, at least as far as I'm concerned.

Cheers,

Paul.
