Before Aphex Twin, remixes were dancefloor fodder and
singles filler, hired out and produced with an eye to
crossover success in different markets with what was largely
the same piece of music (apologies to masters of the form
Tom Moulton, Shep Pettibone, and Arthur Baker). After Aphex
Twin, dozens of electronic and experimental outfits
considered entire remix albums de rigeur, a process
certainly not influenced by the release of Madonna's You Can
Dance or Paula Abdul's Shut Up & Dance. A remix, for the
notorious recluse Richard D. James, was simply another way
to release his music, and as the title of this remix
collection indicates, earn some money off the backs of
clueless record labels. (He often indicated a disdain for
the artist he was working for matched by few excepting Steve
Albini.) James was reported to have created remixes using
none of the source material given, send along work at the
last minute with no connection to the artist involved, and
even play the middle-man for the productions of a flatmate.
Nevermind the methods, it's clearly the results that count,
and 26 Mixes for Cash comprises some of the most creative,
breath-taking music produced by anyone in electronica —
from early successes, like the gloriously uncomplicated
ambient-pop of Seefeel's "Time to Find Me," to the latest
offerings from an artist who should release more, an
unlisted remix of 808 State's "Flow Chart" (titled, simply,
"Remix By AFX"). — John Bush

Yeh it's swell but I'd have to give it a 4/5 based on some
of the more "raw" remixes on disc 2 such as the meat beat
one and the mescalinium one. Grates on the earpods y'know
(not that that's a bad thing, but they're not really
topnotch remixes).
