"When Buttress O'Kneel says she's releasing a 'remix' album, the mind boggles: isn't that what she normally does? Apparently the difference is that with this release, at least one party involved was not only aware of their part in the 'dizzying, exciting hardcore electro stew', but actually literally asked for it. These remixes are 'official', 'sanctioned', and 'above board', but only in reference to the particular bands that asked Ms O'Kneel to remix their work; we're fairly certain that Madonna, Michael Jackson, and the B-52s (etc) never offically gave permission to be thrown into the mix. Parsing out the 'official' from the 'bootleg' becomes a game of semantics - who exactly is this a 'remix' of anyway? So, just for the record, the acts that offically sanctioned these remixes by Buttress O'Kneel are: New Horizons in Violence; FourPlay String Quartet; DJ Foundation; Brokoli; the Blacksmoke Organisation; and Shannon O'Neill. Some of the pieces are tits-out breakcore monstrosities; others are subtle experiments in glitchophonics. All of them are old: now, in 2015, most of these are a decade old and counting. Relevant? Interesting? Badly-mixed? You be the judge."

Tracks 3, 6 +9 originally created for the "Danger: Global Warming" project, not sure if they were ever released in any form anywhere. We're guessing this was pre-2008, given that the official releases are around then. This is about as close to working with the KLF as I'll ever get. Squee!
