Compilation (also known as Caustic Window Compilation) is one of only two full length acid house-techno albums released by Richard D. James under his pseudonym Caustic Window. The album consists of most of the tracks from the EPs Joyrex J4 EP, Joyrex J5 EP, Joyrex J9i and Joyrex J9ii.

Notes

• "AFX 114" has the same drum rhythm as "Phlange Phace", which can be found on Aphex Twin's early Xylem Tube EP and the Classics compilation.
• "Fantasia" allegedly contains samples from the same pornographic film that was sampled for "Come on You Slags!" from James' ...I Care Because You Do album.
• "Italic Eyeball" samples Julie Andrews as Maria von Trapp in The Sound of Music as she sings "Perhaps I had a wicked childhood" (forwards and in reverse)
• "Humanoid Must Not Escape" features distorted samples from the David Bowie film The Man Who Fell to Earth (the "Let's fuck!" and "Yeah yeah!") and the arcade game Berzerk.
• "We Are the Music Makers (Hardcore Mix)" samples Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka from the 1971 film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
• "The Garden of Linmiri" was featured in a Gerard de Thame-directed television advertisement for Pirelli's P6000 tyres featuring Carl Lewis. It previously appeared on the 1993 Disco B Energy '93 compilation, under the title "cat 009 iii" with the note "previously unreleased".
• "We Are the Music Makers (Hardcore Mix)" is a remix (or an entirely new version) of "We Are the Music Makers" from James' debut album, Selected Ambient Works 85–92. The song is faster than the original, and features completely new beats.
