Marc Weidenbaum at Disquiet has been slowly compiling a nice list of Buddha Machine 1.0 remix projects, including efforts from Aymeric de Tapol & Francois Martig, Jupiter Watts, and Noisewerks, among others.

He posted recently about what could very well be the first remix of the Buddha Machine 2.0. He also has a nice interview with Christiaan from FM3 about the design and production of the new Buddha. Check it out.
