It consists of 45 remixed tracks by a series of diverse artists including Dolly Parton, Basement Jaxx and 10cc.

[4] The cover was originally taken from a photograph of Elton John outside Langan's Brasserie giving the two-fingered salute; designer Marc Meulemans added a brown paper bag over the head of Elton John, to avoid problems with the rights, but original photographer Richard Young refused to let them use the picture anyway.
[2] In Stylus Magazine, Scott Plagenhoef gave it an "A−" rating and named it "one of the first real contenders for album of the year".
[10] Zane Lowe called it a "historical record", in Belpop, a documentary about Soulwax on Belgian TV channel Canvas.
[2] The album ensured many other invitations for Soulwax, who played at a party organised by Kylie Minogue in the Tribeca Grand hotel in New York.
Minogue also performed their mash-up of her song "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and New Order's song "Blue Monday" live at the 2002 BRIT Awards,[2] and afterwards released it as the B-side of her single "Love at First Sight" under the title "Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head".
[18] On CD copies of the album, it is possible to rewind to before the first track to access "Can't Get You Out Of My Head (Soulwax Elektronic Mix)" by Kylie Minogue.
