It was released in October 2009 as a digital download.[2] The digital version of the album includes a PDF downloadable artwork file. The album contains 20 tracks of remixes of songs taken from The Invisible Line alongside rare songs and b-sides made during the recording process of their debut album.

Diament commented on his decision to release the album,

I put this compilation together in response to many emails requesting hard-to-find tracks. Whilst it was not possible to include every unreleased Temposhark song or remix, this is definitely a great overview of the varied collaborations that took place between 2004–2008, in the build up to The Invisible Line.[3]
