Production

All songs on the album were created between 1997 and 1999.[2] The first six tracks were taken from the original 10" vinyl release of the extended play GQ on the EQ that was released by 555 of Leeds records.[2] Tracks 7 through 12 were parts of various artists based compilation albums or releases previously available from a tour.[2] The tracks "The Ten and the Zero" and "Staying Home from School" were unreleased tracks recording originally during the GQ on the EQ sessions.[2]

Style

Ned Raggett of Allmusic described the album as an example of de Pedro's "extreme loop/sample treatments and glitch rhythms".[1]

Release

GQ on the EQ++ was released on June 19, 2001 on compact disc through the Tigerbeat6 label.[3]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Ned Raggett awarded the album 4 stars stating "a nice overview of his work between 1997 and 1999".[1]

Reviewing the original EP, the Chicago Reader referred to it as "more restrained and unified" than his live shows of the era, as well as that "the giddiness remains palpable."[4]
