i don't get it. how were they released before 26 mixes came out. i can understand that they were done in the 90's, but what is meant by released, in this case?

i dont get it. how can you not understand the simple concept of a compilation of old remixes that were (nearly all) released previously?

 

so i see what's going on here. i guess i'm unaware of the fact that these were all released before 26 mixes came out. well then, how did these releases come out before then? this is crazy, i knew 26 mixes were old remixes, but i didn't know they had all been released before....

 

ZONKERS!

so you think that aphex twin and the artist he was remixing for and got paid to remix for would allow him to sit on literally 26 fucking remixes? im still very confused that you assumed they were all unreleased.

so he remixes people's song, then these peoples released it on their own albums as a bonus track, or something? or maybe just released it unto the world?

Surely someone can give me at least one example...

I can give the example of At the Heart of it All, off NIN's Further down the Spiral remix album. And I just looked up the Gavin Bryars remix after hearing it on 26 Mixes. It was released on a single with two different Aphex Twin mixes of the same song. Those are the two examples I know of at present, but I'm sure many of the others were remixed on singles and the like. You could probably do a search for track X off 26 remixes and find where each was originally released. I'm curious to know how he came to remix a lot of these tracks --which ones were primarily done for the cash as implied, and which ones he did in part because he genuinely admired the artist. I'm guessing the Gavin Bryars remix would be one of the latter.

I don't get what's so hard to understand ?

Aren't there little thumbnails of all the records these tracks were previously released on in the insert of 26 mixes for cash ?

wasnt the triachus mix on one of the Joyrex EPs with a different name?

might just be my shit memory there

I Think it was on Kinesthesia - Empathy Box (Remixes) 12"

i'm pretty sure the NIN remixes were for the cold hard cash and nothing else. Pretty sure i remember either richard or Autechre saying how one of their remixes of someone consisted of speeding the whole horrible original track up to the point that you could play the whole song in a fraction of a second then using the whole sped up track as a snare hit...

or something.

That somehow rings a bell. Something tells me it was RDJ.

thats a fucking brilliant idea.

Actually, Trent Reznor of NIN asked for Richard to provide some remixes; was mentioned in an article ages ago.

26MFC Factoid: The reason WARP rushed this out was there was another record label trying to get rights to release his remixes themselves. That's one reason the cover is sans artwork and they were searching for people with the originals since there was no time to source the masters.

Does that mean it was like classics? Where they released all these songs without Richards consent? Or was it constructed by Richard himself?

my farts have been smelling bad since i started eating meat again. before they were raucously loud and non-scented. NOW, they are always sneakers that are not so pleasant...

that probably means you should go take a poop.

GET IN THERE AND TAKE A POOP LIKE A BIG BOY!

Well, technically since the remixes are works-for-hire, he doesn't have the rights to them anymore, the original labels do. WARP just saw an opportunity to make money off of the Aphex name one more time (perhaps fulfilling his contract with WARP at the same time), or wanted to also keep Aphex's tracks in the WARP stable.

interesting. so you're not sure about the track listing though eh?

I am now 100% convinced that ET is a dup/gimmick account trying to trick us into beleiving humans can be more stupid than my fucking dog.

also, if 26 mixes tied up the contract, why does The Tuss, who notoriety is due to the supposed RDJ involvement (regardless of who it may be), sold on WARP? (despite The Tuss being a Rephlex artist)

Jesus christ please tell me you aren't real.

Erm, The Tuss is on Rephlex, and while WARPMart sells them (you might have noticed they sell quite a bit of non-WARP artist material), it does not mean there's any affiliation.
