(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Fixed is collection of remixes from the Broken EP and musings on the themes found throughout those same songs. A short but intense disc of electronic-based recordings.Guest remixers and tweakers include Butch Vig, J.G. Thirlwell of Foetus fame, Peter Christopherson of Coil, and even members of the live band at the time, which included Chris Vrenna and the late James Wooley.
The official release had but one contribution by Butch Vig, which was the opening remix of "Gave Up". However Vig also remixed the song "Last", but it never made the final cut for some reason. Trent said Vig basically did what he always does with any song: he made it rock.
