He has also collaborated with Squarepusher for the video accompaniment to the track "Come on My Selector."

Critic Reviews

Scott Weinberg, Daily-Reviews
Not long ago, filmmakers of this sort were sneered at for suckling at the MTV teat; today many of these directors are seen as the creative wizards that they clearly are.
Matt Bailey, Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Those expecting a complete retrospective of Cunningham's work will be disappointed. Of course, all that is missing does not tarnish the brilliance of what is included.
Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
Though Cunningham's grotesque videos have achieved cult status, his oeuvre is more "cool" than provocative. His fans won't by disappointed by this compilation disc.
