"Arthur's Hell Reinterpretations: Participants volunteered themselves to work on any number of pieces, resulting in a wonderful variety of sounds and processes from a fascinating collection of individuals. Each potential remixer received the original album as nine separate tracks and were left to their own devices. As the pieces were initially recorded live using analogue equipment, there were no digital stems or samples to easily pick apart and rearrange. This makes some of these reinterpretations especially impressive. Many thanks to all who took part, and to anyone who makes it through the full three and half hours worth of sounds here."
