CD ReviewsAn instant classic 13 years in the making M. Hilton | Indianapolis, IN United States | 03/25/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Like house demigod (and fellow curmudgeon) Armand Van Helden, no examination of Aphex Twin's body of work is complete without considering his extensive remix work. This double CD compiles not all, but most of the best of that work. Obsessive Aphex completists like myself will lament the absence of this elusive jewel or that (or perhaps sigh with relief that the extravagant price they paid for it wasn't for naught), but I give this compilation a perfect 5 stars anyway because the album itself makes up such a stunning single piece.You simply won't find a better testimonial to Richard James' musical genius, or the dizzying pace of its evolution, wrapped up in one package. It flows with inner logic and authority, taking the listener on a voyage of imagination from ambient to acid-tech to industrial to drill 'n' bass and back again. Not since Selected Ambient Works Volume II has Richard realized such a musical journey so completely, which is an even greater feat since it's a compilation of material dating back to 1990.If you're not an Aphex fan, this album could well make one out of you. If you are an Aphex fan, meet your next desert island album." In a word. Gorgeous. M. Hilton | 04/11/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I'm one who always thought that some of the most moving and memorable moments in the venerable history of Aphex Twin were the more mellower tracks or albums. After hearing this album I feel it should've been titled "Selected Ambient Works Vol.3". There's alot of beautiful songs that seem to just take you away for a while from the everyday life. Drukqs was good but I wanted to hear some more songs like "Petiatl Cx Htdui" and "Avril 10th" on it. There was perhaps a bit too much drum n bass or bleep n blip on it. It seemed like it wasn't coherent, like Syd Barrett doing electronic music on acid. Don't get me wrong alot of it was exciting and eccentric but you long to hear some of his old beautiful songs again. "26 Mixes For Cash" has tracks that sound like actual songs. I can honestly call this an album of new material all his own because none of these songs sound in ANY way like the songs they were supposed to be originally from. I don't think that Trent Reznor himself could distinguish which two of his songs are on this album, maybe a couple of sound effects could give it away if you're a NIN fan. Anyway it's easy listening and it won't drill your ears like his previous album did, not that its a bad thing. =)" Classic Richard D. James........ Erica L. Pardee | Seattle, WA | 03/31/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Pretty great collection of remixes- and this shows that he is indeed a master remixer. I wouldn't recommend this record to someone brand new to Aphex Twin- I'd probably suggest starting out w/ 'I Care Because You Do', 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92', or 'Richard D. James Album'- but for the experienced fan, this is a must-purchase."
