Creation and publication
For Ulver's 10th anniversary, Kristoffer Rygg and Joakim Haugland from Smalltown Supersound put together remixes of Ulver pieces from all of the band's creative periods by other artists.

reception
William York of Allmusic describes 1993–2003: 1st Decade in the Machines as a carefully put together compilation with unsurprising but tasteful interpretations of the originals, which he recommends especially to the hard core of Ulver fans.
