◻ is a 14-track remix album, and the third full-length release by ◻. It is the second self-titled album by ◻, the first being Missing Character. The album features mostly VIP (Variation In Production, by the same artist as the original song) remixes of tracks from the albums "Missing Character" and "Auria; Fade of Dusk", but also includes a handful of tracks that needed a home.
The album was made to experiment with an alternative approach to remixing, incorporating field recordings, mashups, reversing of entire tracks, songs sped up to last only a fraction of the original time, among other methods.
Instead of typical naming convention for VIP remixes, such as "Song (VIP remix)", the tracks are all given new titles which reference the song from a different angle. The naming convention of tracks and alternative approach to remixing was inspired by The Mars Volta's live album "Scabdates", and album which doesn't simply span a single live performance, but a selection of performances over the course of a year, mixed together with field recordings made during touring.
