12 and 8 years respectively on from the last two major overt Aphex releases, do you have a personal preference between the two? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
analord is good background music -- working, coding, surfing the web, doing a puzzle, whatever. drukqs is good foreground music. it is superior to analord. but i only pull it out in certain moods, so i guess it boils down to whether your asking which i think is better (drukqs) or which i listen to more often (analord). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs is definitely my personal favourite, though Analord is not too far off it. I'd say there's loads of Analord foreground tracks... W32.Mydoom.AU@mm, Pitcard, Reunion 2, Grumpy Acid, XMD 5a, Afx Acid 04.... a good third of 'em at least. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd say the first time XMD 5a ripped me a new anus is one of the best moments of my life. I'd heard it 4 or 5 times and thought it was lovely, but that time took it to a whole different level. I just had a paragraph written on about 20 different parts of that song and scrapped it. Y'all fuckin know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
druqks blew my mind. analord kinda bores me. but i still dig the saws. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Listen to Fenix Funk 5. Rinse. Repeat. If any, that one should get the sound firmly in your ears and open up the rest of them beyond nice analog voyages |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fenix funk five just screams for a little more pattern variation. it has approximately two moments of awesomeness and associated buildup suspense; the rest is just waiting for those moments in distracted boredom. the sk1 noise is a charming touch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im more for the complexity and dramatism of drukqs, but yet some nice tracks on the analords, and great overall vinyl concept... also 5 years (?) since the tuss, that is equally amazing and continued analords somehow where fenix funk left it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i pretty much agree with epic on that one, it ekes really close to that brilliance but doesn't quite get there. steinvord is the only thing that's gotten that same feeling for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's the use of chopped drum breaks melting into the acid that ties fenix funk / xmd5a to the tuss for me. the piano in rushup i bank 12 is a close sibling of the piano in xmd5a |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, steinvord is a fest for starving men. i find the mix on it somewhat disappointing compared to drukqs and analord, though. have to turn it up louder than is comfortable for proper enjoyment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*feast and drukqs still kicks the pants off of steinvord, even though it was nice to finally get more of.... that shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where's the SK1 in that track? The Tuss in general sounds a lot less "sincere" and heavy to me than the others, though I still love it in its own right. There are still a few moments on the two releases where feel like the focused touch is still there e.g. the weird, brief little ambience that comes in at 1:55 in Last Rushup 10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's a really muddled mix for sure, it's best on headphones |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really don't think Steinvord is RDJ. It's too close to older stuff to be him in my books. Still, I love that cunt to bits whoever it is. 0:32 - 1:15 in Ziggomatic tribute is probably my favourite Steinvord. |

oh, someone on watmm pointed it out in 2006, back when watmm was good. i think it was the "flute" preset. i remember not believing it at first, then pulling out my sk1 and going, "huh, so it is" but the rest of the detail has left me. can't find any good youtube demos and my sk1 is in a closet. never had the patience for it crashing 75% of the time when i recorded a sample. but i re-iterate: tuss feels like some laptop creeping into the acid, particularly with chopped, sampled drum breaks.... but it's still acid, at its core loyalty. |

if you're going for the acid sound, all the old synths are still king in the post-VST world, but you can use samplers for most of the drum noises. you can sample the synths too if you do it in 8bars etc. instead of single hits. maybe that's the difference -- one's machines, one's machines with laptop enhancement after. just a theory, really. for all i know, analord is 100% vst.... very good sounding vst.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah there's plenty of laptop in there. I feel obliged to mention that I'm currently getting a sore stomach thanks to 0:40 in Loose In Your Head |

RDJ's biggest hoodwink yet: making thousands of fanboys worldwide shell out on shitty, redundant 70s and 80s synth hardware in their vain attempts at emulating his past few casually thrown together releases |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that vid is a fucking mess. i've waffled madly and it's spent about 2/3 of its time on youtube as unlisted. vastly recommend for the analog smell and for sampled nonsense |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
RDJ got sloppy seconds. the first synth i bought was a Prophet VS, and i bought it because trent reznor was gushing about it. i overpaid for it, but i have zero regrets because it's still one of the best synths i've ever heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first real synth, anyways. we're not counting a $50 midi keyboard and some garage-sale casios. |

These albums were recorded using DUBturbo... You don't need a supercomputer to work with it. Just simple download&setup on your PC or MAC, begin to make music immediately. |

and have your credit card double-charged. immediately. |

Ancient IDM Memoriez: Dyudz, I still remember when WARP posted Drukqs preview mp3s, and when I first heard the intro to 54 Cymru Beats, I was like FUuUUUUUUCKKKK-- it was epic. |

i remember when warp had a cool web site and good artists |
||||||||

i find myself returning to Fog, as far as warp releases go |

nevermind, that wasn't a warp release. |

I prefer Drukqz way more than analordsz because of it's creativity, variety of the songs and the recording of his mom |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most of the piano tracks bore me, though there are two or four standouts. there, i said it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I prefer Drukqs but have not listened to it for, say, ten years. Except "Avril 14th". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
love them both, but drukqs more. listen to 'em regular still. still not even getting slightly old. |

does aphex twin still exist on the records market? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

he was degraded from the 'aphex twin' separator to the generic 'A' in the fnacs here... |

I think it's pretty likely that at some point, Aphex is what you'll be hearing when you walk around the hover-mall to get your groceries. Corporate music output won't last forever. Regimes always crash, mayne. I guarantee there'll be a Renaissance II. Perhaps including cameos from animatronic Danny DeVito(R2D2) and Whoopi Goldberg(C3PO), perhaps not, but it'll still be pretty sweet for the folks whose lifetime it falls in. In the meanwhile, we tuned into to what the fuck has taken place in the past 50 years of music get the pleasure of the relatively unknown spoils |

My utopian vision is walking into a coffee shop, maybe a little stoned, naked but for some comfortable hiking sandals and a bumbag, then sitting down and paying a fair price for a fairly attained, good quality cappuccino and looking around at people who aren't afraid of people and themselves. Parhelic Triangle is playing on the sound system, and as I cross my legs my scrotum bulges pinkly from the back of my thigh. Is this too much to ask? Yes |

The man explains he is in great debt needing half his income to pay the visa beasts. Then aphexs plays a cheerful happy tune as he rakes in tons of dosh for his lovely jingle sounds on the BBC docu. x either that or aphex lives next door? is that aphexs bedroom? : P |

Aphex lives in a bank. Coincidence? ----- Also, 5 teenage kids on an income of £18K. Guess what, you're going to have money troubles if you buy them all mobile phones. Stop blaming the banks for this. Perhaps if you'd 'invested' £10 in rubbers 15 years ago, you might not be in this state now? And Trowbridge? I used to work there; it's really expensive. It would have been very convenient for me to live there. £15K income? Live 30 miles out and commute in. Think that's an unreasonable expectation? I used to regularly commute 75 miles (each way) in. It was cheaper than living there. Yes, the banks shouldn't have loaned them this money. Yes, the government shouldn't have allowed a structure that permitted (never mind encouraged) this to happen. Claiming that these people were not without a hand in their own undoing is insanity though. |

There have only ever been a handful of tracks from Analord that I've really been interested in. Most of Drukqs is amazing (for me). |
