Description
The EP features a full 10+ minute "Siberian Breaks" remix from the Ed Banger All-Stars, an ambiguous group of collective artists on Ed Banger Records which was founded by Pedro Winter, whose stage name is Busy P, and is the home of musicians such as Justice, Kavinsky, SebastiAn, Mr. Oizo, Breakbot, and many others. The remix defies all boundaries of the generic "remix", blending many genres of music, not only electric. The exact artists who had a hand in the collective remix of this song is unclear. Also included is a remix of "Congratulations" by Erol Alkan, a London based DJ known as an originator of mashups and one of the most acclaimed DJs of the last decade, reworked the title track "Congratulations". The final track was remixed by Japanese artist/producer, Cornelius, who remixed the band's song "Brian Eno". These join the previously released remixes of "It's Working" by Air and Violens.[2][3]
Cover
The cover of this EP is an alternative version that was used of cover in the album Congratulations (created by Anthony Ausgang) but this is characteristic that is oriented toward the right side (the original is oriented toward the left side) and as a main feature is that has the negative colors of the original colors, except the eyes of the cat's surfer, which remain white.[4]
