In 2000, Max Tundra (that's me) released his debut album, Some Best Friend You Turned Out To Be, a multi-instrument, genre-free, maximalist set text. Some years later he (I) asked 11 of his friends to each remix and rename a song from that LP.

From the virtuosic pianoforte chops of James Larcombe on his superhuman-played Oakeshott, to Sarah Measures's pastoral chamber symphony Genclik Bandido, via a proto-PC in-the-red banger from tracker pioneer Scott Pearsall in the shape of Joust (Ink Me), there's something here for anyone who ever thought a remix should be more than the slapping on of an oon-tsch-oon-tsch-oon-tsch-oon-tsch and an aah yeah sample.

The front cover is a hand-painted reproduction by Andy Carne of the original SBFYTOTB artwork. Its painstaking creation is a reflection of the care and attentiveness paid by these pals to the source material.

The intriguingly titled Bonus Voicemail is an exclusive track for anyone who downloads this ambitious, dizzyingly eclectic relic.
