Background
In late 2009, Daddy G of Massive Attack appeared to suggest in an interview with Clash that there would be an equivalent remix album of Heligoland by Burial, yet various comments made afterwards cast major doubt on the prospect ever being more than an idle whim.[2] In May 2010, Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja told Q magazine that, "It's happening, but we can't talk about it. (Burial)'s very private and paranoid about it."[3]
Release
The single release was limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, all of which were sold during the first day of pre-order. The single was pressed on heavyweight 180g 12” vinyl, housed in a hand numbered, gold glitter screen-printed sleeve designed by Robert Del Naja. It was released on 17 October 2011.[4]
