'Versions' is possibly one of the greatest electronicambient/experimental remix albums of all time with an amazing line-up of remixers from renowned experimental labels including Warp and Rephlex.

The remixes are all of previously released tracks from Fingernail's debut CD/LP, 'So, Backwards.' 'So, Backwards,' released earlier this year on Fuzzy Box, is serene and sinister with subtle humor, moodswings, and programming comparable to Aphex Twin or Autechre, while the complexity of the in-depth melodies parallels early classical composer, Maurice Ravel.

This list of remixers is as follows: WOODENSPOON (aka Disjecta, Mark Clifford, Seefeel - Warp Records, Too Pure), GLOBAL GOON (aka Spider - Rephlex Records), BOCHUM WELT (Rephlex Records, Sony Music Japan, Fuzzy Box Records), CATHARS (aka Kurt Ralske of Ultra Vivid Scene), JUNIOR VARSITY KM (Darla Records), FLOWCHART (aka Flowtron - 611 Records, Darla Records, Endorphin Records), EXHALERA DECK (aka Accelera Deck - Pitch Cadet Records, Endorphin Records), BOB BROWN (Hidden Agenda Records, Framework Recordings), TLEILAXU (aka DJ Crasta - Fuzzy Box) vs. EDK (aka Sloppy, Pathfinders - Plastic City), OCTAROCK (aka Magnet F - Casa De Toad Records, Doubtful Productions), QUASIMOJO (Casa De Toad Records), BLINK BLINK (Doubtful Productions, The Blind[tm] Organization), FINGERNAIL (Fuzzy Box Records, Doubtful Productions). This is a one-of-a-kind release that stands apart from your average remix album, and all the individual remixes brilliantly flow from track to track. So enjoy the range of ambient tension and schizophrenic beat programming, and realize what Fuzzy Box is all about.
