"The history of these tracks is: In 1995 and before I was employed to take tracks home and manipulate the streams to create new content. The way I did this was a process I called Rate/Stretch.
After we came back from New Orleans working on the 'Backwards LP' at Trent Reznor’s studio, Peter Christopherson, asked me to do the same to two tracks. This was 1998 (a year and a half after we left New Orleans).
I started the project, but due to misgivings at the time with the whole music business, I left, and the tracks didn’t get a release."
