The album La Forêt des Mal-Aimés was the subject of a remix album released in March 2007, a year after the release of the album. Titled 2 X2 (read as "deux par deux" in French, meaning "2 by 2"), it was a 24-minute limited edition / short album by Les Disques Audiogramme that included remixes of tracks all from La forêt des mal-aimés plus one unpublished track titled "Le Maquis", written by Philippe B., the guitar player in Lapointe's backing band.

Philippe Brault, not to be confused with Philippe B., was co-arranger of the album with Jean Massicotte. The two had won a Félix Award in 2006 for their arrangement and musical direction of the La Forêt des Mal-Aimés show.

The name is a reference to Pierre Lapointe's major hit "Deux par deux rassemblés", the best-known single from the original album.

The remixes are from a variety of different participants, including Jean-Philippe Goncalves remixing the title track from La Forêt des Mal-Aimés, Kid Koala providing an instrumental of "25-1-14-14", the rhythms of Ghislain Poirier and Jérôme Minière in two separate mixes of "Deux par deux rassemblés", while Jean Massicotte made the remix of "Au nom des cieux galvanisés".

The cover of the release was innovative and flexible. The upper part of the cover was a flexible head shot of Lapointe, with the purchaser of the album offered four more alternative cuttings of a morchella, a snail, a carnivore animal and a flower, which they could slot in to replace the head of the artist according to their choice.

The album 25-1-14-14 is another offshoot of the La Forêt des Mal-Aimés, being a limited release of just 1000 copies on vinyl that has the same content of 2 X2 but without the additional "Le maquis" track included on that album. The release was intended for true enthusiasts as a collectors' item or for DJs interested in using Lapointe's work.

The order of the track list is notably different from the 2 X2 album as follows:
