Eminem's Debut Album Infinite Returns as the Infinite EP

Eminem's debut album, Infinite, now has a companion release: the Infinite EP, which is available to stream, according to Rolling Stone. The original album was independently released, which means it came out outside the three largest record companies, Universal, Sony and Warner.

The original Infinite had 11 tracks. Six of them have now been remixed and given additional production for the EP. A remix rebuilds the balance and sound of a recording, while additional production adds new musical work on top of it.

Jake Bass and Mike "Slim" Wilder handled the remixes and extra production on those six tracks. Denaun Porter produced the EP with Wilder. Jeff Bass and Mark Bass, who helmed the original release, are credited as executive producers of the EP. An executive producer usually oversees a project's direction and resources rather than working on the sound itself.

An EP, short for extended play, is a release with fewer tracks than a full album. Streaming means listening through an app or website without downloading the music, so the EP can be heard from the day it is available.

Fans who prefer something to hold will have to wait a little longer. Physical editions of the Infinite EP on vinyl, CD and cassette tape are scheduled for release on February 26. Vinyl records, compact discs and tapes each give listeners a copy they can own, and each has its own release date in the plan.

Anyone looking for the new versions can find them on streaming services now, and the physical copies will follow in February.
