Forgive the simple cut-and-paste job, but this is all the information available at this time. Given BT’s plans to originally release These Hopeful Machines as a box-set with stems and software from Sonik Architects, it’ll be very interesting to see how this pans out.

BT’s fans will be especially interested to know that when the producer launches his full-scale live assault in the US, he’s also got a special edition of These Hopeful Machines planned to coincide with the tour.

“We’re doing a repackage of These Hopeful Machines and it’s literally going to be four CDs and come in a coffee table box as a piece of art,” he revealed. “It’s coming out when the tour happens and there will be seventy remixes and re-interpretations of the songs and I literally hand-picked every one. From artists like Armin Van Buuren to Hamock and then some of these guys that are A-list remixers and bands.”

“There are a lot of tracks that I wrote for this album that I never completely finished and there will be some demos and some works in progress too.
