A collaboration between Aphex Twin (Richard D. James) and –Ziq (Mike Paradinas), Mike & Rich's ’Expert Knob Twiddlers’ was made back in 1994. Richard edited the tracks into shape later in 1996 with his new Apple Mac computer and it was released later that year on Rephlex, the label he co-owned and which released the first two albums by Ziq.

This new reissued version has been carefully cleaned up, re-edited and remastered from the original DAT tapes, put into a more fitting order, and, more excitingly, seven new bonus tracks and alternative versions have also been added.
