One hundred bags were sent out to a selection of visual artists and musicans, inviting them to create a brand new work utilising the original piece as a starting point.

This CD contains 25 of the musical contributions plus a selection of images from The Root Exhibition - Held at Chisenhale Gallery and organized by Lo Recordings in association with commercial too."

白ジャケにスタンプ。そしてジャケ内側にCoulter Jacobsenによるドローイング作品 "Flash Falls After Donal"。

Sunn O))) と Pan Sonicで程よく中和されてJD的様相だが、 オリジナル以上にヘヴィなバージョンを21世紀になってから聴くとは思わなかった。必然的に低音を最大に大音量で聴かねばならない。

A: Lydia Lunch - Frankie Teardrop  5:33

B: Suicide - Frankie Teardrop, The Detective Meets The Space Alien (1976 Demo)  13:04

Suicide/1st Album (1977)収録の"Frankie Teardrop"は、貧しい工場勤務の男（20歳）が妻と子を殺し自らも命を断つというスケアリーな内容だが、Lydia Lunchによる同曲は其れと同じ暗黒ヴァイヴを持つカバーらしからぬ出来。

"The Detective Meets The Space Alien"とタイトルを追加された"1976 Demo"は、歌詞も併せて変更されている。

また"Fine Time 2 ～A Tribute to New Wave"収録の"ゆらゆら帝国"による同曲は日本語化で怪談的内容にｗ。
