“On ‘beauty re-envisioned’, I basically handed the keys to the car over to an amazingly talented cast of producers, engineers, re-mixers, DJs and artists; including Tim Palmer, Kevin Haskins, John Fryer, Statik, Ummagma and Marilyn Manson’s Paul Wiley… giving them (almost) total autonomy to throw the puzzle of ‘Finding Beauty in Chaos’ on the floor and reassemble it as they hear it. I think what we have here are some extremely diverse re-envisions that run the gamut sonically and stylistically, with a few surprises thrown in. I hope you enjoy this record as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you!”
