Description:

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.
