would you say the remixes compiled on the 26 Mixes album
are some of his best (the beck one would really make this
album essential).. what do u think should have been
included/excluded from the final tracklist?

"Richard's Hairpiece" remix of Beck's "Devil's Haircut"
DEFINITELY should have been there. Damn Geffen.

:p

there should've been more unreleased mixes on there, all
though it would be problematic with the title release

I think he picked the better track from '2 Remixes by Afx'.


At the end of the day, anything which isn't on there you can
always download.

Geffen's an ass hole. Once he came inside and we were all
smoking and he goes "hey guys, who dented my beemer" i mean
what the fuck

I think the windowlicker acid edit could have been left
off.. u can tell the label was like "look rich, you gotta
give the fans something new! something they haven't heard,
this is a collection of older material after all.."
so he took about 6 half-a-second samples from an acessable
(relatively.. considering his repritoire) and made an even
more accessable, sparse umm... edit. edit is the best way to
describe it because it's not a new mix really.. there was no
remixing done really.. just an uninspired arrangement of
short samples... esp. when dealing w/ his most technically
amazing track, this seems like an insult to it.. this
version is something anyone w/out his talent could do.

Geffen Records...Beck's label. And yes, they're assholes,
but not as bad as MCA. :P

Yeah, remix of "Flow Coma" by 808 State. Top notch early
acid. :)

the first cd sounds even like a concept album. if you
wouldn't knew about it, that it's a remix album. the second
cd is just good

I recently completed my Aphex record collection (except for
AB5) and now I like to collect all the remixes. But now I
think that won't be necessary anymore. Or doesn't this album
include all his remixes???

duh, how can you leave off a mix that has been specifically
done for the album?!? (theo)

but i have to agree with whoever mentioned (can't be
bothered to look, sorry!) richards hairpeice, its definately
my favourite remix.

Beck himself didn't want the hairpiece mix to be on this
album because Richard wouldn't play at a charity award thing
he organised.

earthleakage.. .. what?

I'll restate my point.. he shouldn't have done a halfassed
mix of a track just to fill a slot that would otherwise be
better used for a very quality remix.. I see it as
pandering..

Jivver- is that true about the charity thing?

what i've heard of the 26 remixes for Cash set was hardly
enjoyable. the very idea that the two NIN remixes are the
EXACT same songs as released by NIN on Further Down the
Spiral is startling -- admitedly, they were both composed by
RDJ anyway; but i was expecting remixes (ie. the album
title). and i' not saying those aren't good tracks -- they
are fantastic.

anyhow, i'm not impressed at all so far. perhaps this will
change when i get a hold of the rest.

REGARDS,

26 Remixes for Cash:

Great idea for a release
Great songs

I'm sorry, but if you aren't a music pirate/huge AFX
collector or both, then this is certainly the easiest way to
get ahold of these tracks.

The remixes span over a long period of time and are some of
his best works.. Many of them are markers of key moments of
his sonic evolution. This way, what you are getting is like
a retrospective of his career, without having to buy some
'greatest hits' album full of tracks you already know inside
and out.

It's the best of both worlds really. You get a 2 disc,
career-spanning collection of music that for many
people is largely unheard.

I have all the stuff on there, and long-ago burned them onto
a set of AFX remixes CDs, so I probably won't pick up 26
Remixes for Cash. But, it is a pretty kickass idea..
