The other two were previously available only on Further Down the Spiral, the remix album by Nine Inch Nails: "The Beauty of Being Numb Section B" and an edited version of "At the Heart of It All".

Online orders of the compilation through Warp Records came with two silver-wrapped chocolate coins, featuring the Aphex Twin logo on one side and Richard's profile on the other (with "ELECTRONICA REX" written alongside it).

James later clarified that the album was named 26 Mixes for Cash by the late Warp Records co-founder Rob Mitchell because James exchanged the remix DATs for cash in person so that the record companies would not know his bank account details or address.

[14] NME wrote that "the more cash at stake the less effort Aphex puts into honouring the spirit of the artist – an often hilarious greenie in the face of pop careerism".

[15] Pitchfork states that "frustrating gestation period aside, many of the tracks here are certified classics, and it's nice to have them all in one place".
