From the SW Complete Discography: 

YOKO ONO – WILL I / FLY (5 SONG EP) 
October 2003 
CD: US TWISTED Records – TWD-50026 
The EP is the fifth release in the ONO remix series and contains a 
Porcupine Tree remix of Yoko Ono's "Death of Samantha" from her John 
Lennon produced 1973 album "Approximately Infinite Universe". The 
track is an atmospheric reworking which combines Yoko's original vocal 
with newly recorded acoustic guitar, piano, mellotron and slide guitar. 
Additional production and remix created by SW at No Man's Land 

FROM PITCHFORK MEDIA: 

 Taking aim at stereotypes while simultaneously playing straight to them, Yoko Ono has titled her forthcoming album Yes, I'm a Witch. (It's also the name of one of her songs.) And the legendary artist/musician has conjured quite a list of guests to appear on the record. In fact, the record consists of almost nothing but guests. 

The idea behind Witch goes like this: Ono chose the artists with whom she wanted to work, gave them access to her back catalog, asked them to chose a song to rework, and then "provided [them] with the vocals and whatever other instrumental elements attracted them from that cut. Almost all the artists chose just the vocals," according to a press release. The result: a remixes/duets/covers record consisting of "entirely new musical tracks."

01 Hank Shocklee: "Witch Shocktronica Intro"
