Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great ambient music. Comment: I love this CD. Really... I do. But you just can't dance to this kind of music. It's really only for listening to. That's all it's there for. Still... this is the kind of album you can listen to while laying down on your bed at night. Where you wish that moment would slip into eternity. The comfort is nirvana. Customer Rating: Summary: Pure genius. Comment: Pure genius. The second CD is my favorite, particularly track number six. Aphex Twin will blow your mind, especially when you give the music your full, undivided attention on a good caffeine buzz. Yowzas! Customer Rating: Summary: Good buy! Comment: I bought this cd for my guy and he loved it. He doesnt listen to it enough in my opinion though. :/ Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant. Comment: A completely worthwhile album; wide variety of stellar remixes. I really, really love this album, despite a couple of really bizarre and unlistenable tracks. And even the unlistenable tracks are really fascinating. RDJ is laughing himself silly right now, if he reads this, because he often pooh-poohs his own genius. He probably helped compose The Beauty of Being Numb Section B in 5 minutes on the crapper, and here I am calling it brilliant. He probably worked really hard on that mix and composed Time to Find Me with the whole crapper/5 minutes thing. Or not. Either way, it's been, what, a couple of years now, and I still can't get enough of this album. Absolutely essential for Aphex Twin fans, and not a bad starter-kit for newbies either. Customer Rating: Summary: Thank you, may I have another? Comment: More melodies would have been nice; I may make my own remixes of these songs (I'd just be adding more melodies) in order to make the music more satisfying :) As always, he delivers those tantalizing drum beats and creates a great c.d., but there just weren't any songs that amazed me. Expect an interesting set of songs, just don't expect them to be mind-blowing. Of course, that's my point of view, if you're new to this genre, this could be mind-blowing; when I first heard Karsten Pflum (who led me to check out Richard James) I was totally blown away.

Editorial Reviews: It's hard to imagine Aphex Twin having a more appropriately named label (Warp); fitting also that 26 Mixes for Cash should have such an honest title. Having passed off a random gabba track as a Lemonheads remix and not bothering to hear the Nine Inch Nails originals before handing over his mixes, Aphex Twin has historically proved a little wayward in his methods. Not so much remixing as recycling, Richard D James's method is not unlike flinging tracks into a garbage crusher just long enough so only the bare bones of melody and structure survive. Covering a decade's work, this stunning eclectic mix effortlessly flicks from cinematic ambience (Nine Inch Nails--"At the Heart of It All") and industrial pandemonium (Mescalinum United's "We Have Arrived") to squelching acid trance (his own previously unreleased acid edit of "Windowlicker"). The disparate range of artists remixed is as remarkable as the music, with Mike Flowers Pops and Wagon Christ making unlikely bedfellows. Improbable yet inspired highlights come in the form of his haunting interpretation of David Bowie's "Heroes" symphony conducted by Philip Glass and the breathtakingly ethereal transformation of Curve's "Falling Free." --Christopher Barrett
