==History==
The album was compiled through the efforts of a months long deliberation to sort through some 200 fan submitted NIN remixes, the end result being a 21 track album.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zeropaid.com/news/8988/'Limitless+Potential'-+Official+Nine+Inch+Nails+Fan+Remixes+Now+on+BitTorrent |title= 'Limitless Potential' - Official Nine Inch Nails fan remixes now on BitTorrent |publisher= zeropaid |author= soulxtc |date= 2007-09-05 |accessdate=2007-10-21}}</ref>
Over two hundred tracks were submitted to [[Painful Convictions]] for the juried competition, and were voted on by six judges, including personnel from Painful Convictions and [[The NIN Hotline]]. Every track that received a majority of "YES" votes over "NO" votes was included in the competition. Luckily (for the judges) there was only one voting period -- Dirty Scarab's mix was the only one to receive six "YES" votes.
The album artwork and photography was designed/shot by Leviathant from photographs taken near 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Martin Place in Sydney, Australia. Obviously, the style heavily emulates the look of [[''Year Zero]] '' era promotional CD single artwork, particularly ''[[Survivalism (halo)|Survivalism]]''.
==Cover art==
The image on the front cover art depicts the flag of the ''[[Year Zero (alternate reality game)]]''Alternate Reality Game-based ''[[Characters and organizations in the Year Zero alternate reality game#Art is Resistance|A.I.R([[Art Is Resistance)]] ) resistance group''. Artwork by [[User:Leviathant|Leviathant]].
