About

Compilation is currently the only full length acid house-techno album by Richard D. James released under his pseudonym of Caustic Window. The album was released on 1 June 1998. The tone of the album is very aggressive and the songs become more frantic and gets more manic as a listener progresses through the album.

Incomplete reprint of the 3 Caustic Window EPs and 1 single (Joyrex J4, J5, J9ii and J9i). Vinyl version is missing 1 song each from each of the eps (Popcorn, R2D2, and Humanoid Must Not Escape). CD version is missing the first 2 but has HMNE.
Technically there is a slight misprint with the catalogue listing, in that the release after CAT 002 was CAT 007 (the artist (Mike Dred) was a James Bond fan and requested the number instead of CAT 003). The listing has chosen to move that album to after CAT 006 instead. But then a lot of listings will be out of order anyway because Rephlex had a habit of releasing some albums out of order, even to the point of giving out fake release dates after the fact (someone in 1996 asking about exactly when a 1993 album came out would get the original anticipated release date instead of the date it actually released on).
