A track entitled "Acid Jazz & Trip Hop (Remix)" has been circulating the web and Portishead, Massive Attack, or Squarepusher are widely credited as the artist.^{[citation needed]} However, the track is in fact a Portishead remix of an Unkle song that has been given different titles on a number of releases.
