Titled 2 X2 (read as "deux par deux" in French, meaning "2 by 2"), it was a 24-minute limited edition / short album by Les Disques Audiogramme that included remixes of tracks all from La forêt des mal-aimés plus one unpublished track titled "Le Maquis", written by Philippe B., the guitar player in Lapointe's backing band.

The two had won a Félix Award in 2006 for their arrangement and musical direction of the La Forêt des Mal-Aimés show.

The release was intended for true enthusiasts as a collectors' item or for DJs interested in using Lapointe's work.

The order of the track list is notably different from the 2 X2 album as follows: A live album called Pierre Lapointe en concert dans la forêt des mal-aimés avec l'Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal dirigé par Yannick Nézet-Séguin (in short known as En concert dans la forêt des mal-aimés) was released the following year in 2007.

It was a live recording of a concert held on 5 August 2014 by Pierre Lapointe during the closing of the annual festival Les FrancoFolies de Montréal celebrating French language music.
