Background
Edition 1 was, upon release, intended to be the first in the "Edition" series consisting of similar albums "with collaborators kept under wraps, each one to be a genre-stretching and boundary-pushing surprise, packaged with a conceptual continuity." However, no further albums have been released by the King Midas Sound project in this series, making it a standalone.
