Information

"Butterflies & Hurricanes" was the sixth and final single to be released from Absolution. The CD includes "U-Myx Enhanced Section" software for the purpose of remixing Butterflies & Hurricanes. To promote the single, a competition was held wherein entrants competed by means of the best remix using the U-Myx software to win an iPod mini and signed memorabilia.^[1]

Limited to 500 copies in France.

Trivia

The vinyl and iTunes EP editions of the single feature Butterflies & Hurricanes live at Glastonbury Festival 2004, except this version has been edited in post-production in an attempt to neutralise the vocal distortion on Matt’s voice throughout the performance.
