The comp has about a 40% hitrate, in my estimation. I actually prefer the afx/squarepusher track to almost all recent Aphex stuff actually, but then again I lost interest in his current direction quite a while ago.

I don't know, but I can't imagine why they solicited remixes of this EP -- it strikes me as trying to fix something that is _very much_ not broken. The Monolake and Vainqueur remixes might be interesting (refracting the already refracted?) but "thinly-spread remixer fatigue" is beginning to set in with the others...

There's nothing "regular" about i-F. This record is about 50% new material, I think, but it's exceptional. -d.w.
