it's a very fine release... : )
you could go without it, but you're missing a lot of gems!
· Seefeel, Time To Find Me, AFX Fast Mix · Gentle People, Journey, Aphex Twin Care Mix · Saint Etienne, Your Head My Voice, Voix Revirement · Nobukazu Takemura, Let My Fish Loose, Aphex Twin Remix · Die Fantastichen Vier, Krieger, Aphex Twin Baldhu Mix · Philip Boa & The Voodoo Club, Deep In Velvet, Aphex Twin Turnips Mix
· Curve, Falling Free, Aphex Twin Remix · Mescalinum United, We Have Arrived, Aphex Twin QQT Mix (<- love it or hate it... ^^ - well, it was on Classics anyway if i remember)
· Nine Inch Nails, At The Heart Of It All, Created By Aphex Twin
· Remix By AFX (but well, this one was on 2 Remixes By AFX already. it's a remix of 'Flow Coma' by 808 State btw, or so i've heard.)
· DMX Krew, You Can't Hide Your Love, Hidden Love Mix
those are my favourites... also, it's interesting to hear the original version of [radiator] on SAWII, with the original beats...

I really don't like it. I dunno why, just can't listen to it. Imo Parts In The Post is FAR better.

it's convenient having the remixes in one place. the cd as a whole is alright, but i rarely listen to it all in one go. i put it on when i want to hear a particular track.
anus, if i only had enough squid for a couple of new albums, this wouldn't be one of the ones i'd buy.

Have you heard Saint Etienne - Who Do You Think You Are (Aphex Twin Quex-rd)? That's my favourite remix by him and it's not on the CD :-/

I always say it would be great to have an ep called 8 mixes for more cash including all the left outs mixes of this compilation
it could come as a limited edition with the first preorders of his new album (maybe talking about a new album makes it happen)

my favorites: - gavin bryars - raising the titanic (big drum mix) - gentle people - journey (aphex twin care mix) - david bowie & philip glass - heroes (aphex twin remix) - jesus jones - zeros and ones (aphex twin reconstruction mix 2)
- curve - falling free (aphex twin remix) - afx - remix - mike flowers pops - debase (soft palate)
Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger (Aphex Twin Baldhu Mix) is an awful song. It reminds me of rammstein and i really don't like rammstein.

that's a good idea nacmat
these are the ones that are missing:
1. Soft Ballet - Sand Lowe (Polygon Window Remix) 2. Seefeel - Time To Find Me (AFX Slow Mix) 3. Saint Etienne - Who Do You Think You Are (Aphex Twin Quex-rd)
4. Jesus Jones - Zeroes & Ones (Aphex Twin Reconstruction Mix 1)
5. Gavin Bryars - Raising The Titanic (Big Drum Edit) 6. Beck - Devils Haircut (Richard's Hairpiece)

i'm only hearing this now... and i have to say, as refund mentions (though disagrees about) above, the first disc (in particular) flows very well... as good as any of his proper albums... if you just think of it as afx music and nothing more... it's just a gorgeous set of tracks from what sounds like middle period afx (between ICBYD and RDJ)... i really like the seefeel rmx, the phillip glass rmx, the nin recreation and the takemura rmx... but really the first disc is all quite nice... haven't had much time with the second disk yet, though...

the gavin bryars mix is one of the best and most beautiful tracks on the album. and i love the nav katzes ones too, verry verrrrry nice
not the biggest fan of disc 2, however. i should dig it out and listen again.

It should be pointed out, since this is the thread linked to the discog, that several of these tracks are much edited from the remixes as they appear on their original sources. Also, at least one of them (the Philip Glass - Heroes - remix) seem to have been sourced from mp3, not the original. And there's some dodgy quality moments in others.
On the whole it's a pretty shoddily produced affair. Seems like it was done in a rush, which may have been the case since I believe that another label was already planning on releasing an Aphex remix set and Warp stepped in to do it first.
So with dodgy quality, poorly sourced audio, edited tracks and missing remixes it's not a great compilation, but that said, there are some great tracks on it.

The first disc is amazing, but I don't like a lot of the songs on the second disc. Last track on disc 2 is awesome, though.

When I first got this I thought it was a quickly-thrown together piece of amalgamated garbage, but a week ago my playlist hit some tracks while on random (don't worry, I don't always listen like that) and I found quite a few I like a lot. It's funny how many people think 'autechre' when others say 'aphex', but aphex is such a god damned great relax after listening to lots of autechre..

I like quite a few of the tracks. I would have liked 'time to find me' and 'journey' but I had already heard them both loads, so I was bored with them. My favs are:
* Raising the Titanic * Krieger * Deep in Velvet * Falling Tree * Flow Coma * Normal * Debase
'Windowlicker [Acid Edit]' is pathetic (not very acid-like) and I was very dissapointed by it!!! I way prefer the Rod!mus mix. The rest of the tracks are good but some are shitty and annoying, especially, 'we have arrived', 'heroes' and 'you can't hide your love'.
Mainly a good selection. All in all I give it a 3/5

i doubt that that radiator mix is the "original". richie's just trying to fuck with our heads again. i don't think it had beats originally,....he just mixed it up with them after that and said, "Oh, I bet these nasty buggers would feel 8% more rectified if I brandish the mix [original]." :)

actually from what ive heard, it was originally written for a movie soundtrack or something and then he threw that track into saw2 minus the beats afterwards.

26 mixes has a lot of edits on it. Since some kind people have managed to dig up the originals I've heard almost all of them. The bowie remix on 26 mixes is almost defineataly from an mp3. There is a nice glitch in it not in the original. That and some of the best remixes are missing.
Edits that I know of:
Kinesthesia - Triachus (26m=4:12, og=5:21) Philip Glass - Heroes (26m=5:18, og=5:33) Nav Katze - Ziggy (26m=4:25, og=6:02) Saint Etienne - Your Head My Voice (26m=3:15, og=4:12) Nine Inch Nails - At The Heart of it All (26m=3:49, og=7:09)
Meat Beat Manifesto - Mindstream (26m=3:42, og=6:56)
Perhaps I missed a few, but those I can confirm.

i would start with at the heart of it all, its worth getting the extra bit, it makes the song 100 times better, i dont know what they (he) was thinking when they put that 3 minute edited version on there? it totally takes all of the guts out of that track.
it was said earlier, parts in post is better, but 26 mixes is a very good comp.

it was the first aphex album (im kinda disapointed by this, but ohwell). yeah i love it : )
out of curiosity i tried to download all the originals but im still missing a few. Though, from what i heard, even though some of the originals are almost identical i love the album even more.
