Album Notes Aphex Twin: Richard D. James. The words "remixed by Aphex Twin" tend to arouse apprehension and suspicion inside the heart of musical normality. Since the early `90s, Richard D. James's most notorious moniker has become synonymous with a disdain for the classic tropes of remix-science, a kind of devil-may-care pranksterism that goes some way in explaining 26 MIXES FOR CASH, a two-disc collection spanning nearly two decades of Aphex Twin's musical malfeasance. Reworking a mind-boggling diversity of material from artists as varied as Nine Inch Nails, Jesus Jones, and Philip Glass, Aphex applies his mischievous mad-scientist methods to create not slick dance-floor fodder, but ingenious textural and rhythmic flights of fancy--usually containing little regard for the supplied source material. From the ethereal majesty of Seefeel's "Time to Find Me" to the plangent orchestral havoc of Philip Glass's version of Bowie's "Heroes," 26 MIXES FOR CASH contains solid examples of Aphex's elastic, genre-bending experimentation.
