i just dld it...it's nothing special! |

I don't deny these would be good tracks as part of a large album. (I've heard the high quality mp3s, btw.) But they're NOT good enough to warrant a purchase of them on their own, especially at that price! It's mad! |

i think the vinyl/binder is a pretty neat way to release it. it's great for the collectors, and definately has an endearing quality to it. it'd be cool to see more artists take the time to think of somewhat original ways to release their music other than the standard cd in a jewel case. aphex has created a whole package that's more interesting than just the tracks alone and some liner notes would've provided. that being said, i also hope they release a more accessable version for us slobos who just want to hear the musics. |

It's ok i guess, if you like that sort of thing. It does sound a bit old, though. |

so far i'd say i enjoy it... i'm still waiting for Aphex to pick up a get movin' forward again, but for now i'm happy with these rather accomplished electro-tracks from afx... still aping himself, but there's a bit more room to breath here, and i think that's a super good thing. could this shit tear a new asshole on the dancefloor? probably, and that's something that can be said of very few tracks he's put out post-windowlicker... |

xmd5a is incredible, holy fuck! fenix funk is great technically, but the structure is too messy to give it a profound impact.. still awesome though. He's messing with rhythm in a way I haven't heard him do a lot of before; specifically he'll imply different subdivisions and barlines by bringing in some different shit now and the (go through first minute of md5a!). he did some really impressive stuff with his voice in there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, that moment from 3'30" onwards (for, say, a minute) in xmd5a is the shitteloni ventolini. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

ok this is an short one.The first track is funky and acid but lack some deep |

your avatar is cute/fun/silly/well done/frustrating/cool, what is it from? love hina or something like that? : ) |

wheres all the mp3s!!! none of you hoes are sharing it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its some good stuff, but its two tracks so i am still awaiting the others, ++++++ I WANT A GODDAMN CD VERSION - do you hear that rephlex? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got the torrent from the other thread. I still don't understand the appeal of xmd5a, it just sounds unfinished, badly structured and unsatisfying to me. :( |
||||||||
|
|

these are very excellent tracks. there is a lightness of touch in the production like in ricky's earlier stuff. not the heavy rigidness of mangle and smojphace. they move along very well - the melodies are unmistakably classic afx. he never seems to repeat the same thing twice which propels the listener and keeps him engaged and interested in every moment. the watery effects on the piano chords of xmd5a are are a lovely and original touch. a very pleasing progression from the programming on windowlicker and 2 remixes, with a warm deep analog sound reminiscent of the polygon window. well done timeless afx music. 9/10 |
||||||||

|
|
and the second track is sounds more harder but i dont think it is all that special its just ok.but i hope it can fit well on the whole analord series that i heard hes is going to realease on an whole album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

the structure is fucked in both of them. I will try to discern this more for xmd5a, which I have only heard once; fenix funk I think may genuinely be laid down sort of stream-of-conscience. Both tracks have a lot to study, however; lots of detail/richness in both. I'm getting a boner thinking about walking to school every day with this in my headphones. fucking master. |

I wish I knew =( Might be azumanga daioh, which I've never seen and probably misspelled. I found it randomly on some random site not related to anime.. I never steal shit (and most definitely made all of my crappy avatars), but this is great. new times though; I stole an avatar from w M w as well. |
||||||||

Nope, I don't like "xmd5a"...I don't mind if others enjoy it, but I can't see what's so special about this track; I find the melody and chords and synth sounds at the end to be particularly offensive, along with the increadably basic and pathetic sounding beat. Why do people like this track, apart from the nice sounding watery piano!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
as for me , aphex could release the same style music every month, i just love his music! the same for bogdan raczynski |
||||||||

you, like, just dont get it |
||||||||

You're just making yourself like that track ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

3'30" and don't make a john cage joke, I'll cage your balls and throw you to a den of lions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and about the watery piano.. harmony sounds like drukqs-father sometimes. fucking piano turning into synth? *fap* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha :D you're awesome. and that songs is awesome. this is an awesome day!! |
||||||||
|
|

|
I shall have to learneth to agree to disagree. Or something. But that Felix track made me cry many tears of joy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm 'borrowing' it off the internet right now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how does this sound on drugs? im thinking those acid melodies in xmda5 kinda make your brain melt? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think of any of this as particularly acidy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wish the proper form was 'acidic' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i listened to them and after few listens immidiately deleted it (do the same, people ;)!!! now... the stuff is wonderful, simply because it is very melancholic, melodic. it is whole musical "landscape". like... uhm... well, when I have heard "smojpahce"- I had not built a movie in my head, u know what i mean... now I am listening to analord and it is sooo cinematic, I could take my dv camera and try to catch pictures that would fit analord sounds. Analord is that good :) I am happy I will get it on vinyl :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, my review is: i think it's pretty dope. especially the xmd5a trak which i think is particularly dope! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
to make up for my analtheft, i promise to go see AFX live with my wife if he comes to seattle. I'll buy analord from the merch stand too or a t shirt or some shit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im not sure i agree on that one...both tracks are filled with them imo :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I guess I mean his treatment of them (they sound pretty rich, not the strident sort of acid line I'm used to) isn't in the usual sense.. ok fuck I'm talking out of my ass. touche. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, definitely way more developed than your usual acid, but the sound of it is still extremly acidy..he sure did get the best out of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are only 2 songs but how long is it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just short of 13 minutes? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats nice i guess |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a LOT happens in those 13 minutes :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
notice that no one who received it said 'I wasted my money', and it was a lot of money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't waste my money! i only give to the really really starving fuckers who never seel more than a pressing of 500... but you guys sure did a great job of sellling this release out... yay! you people! oh yeah, and if he were gonna do the John Cage joke, it would be 4'33... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is niggardly. I'm the only one who doesn't have it yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I unfortunately know all about 4'33".. ..I endured a 'performance' of it. luckily I had a textbook with me, and oh shit no one has ever heard pages being turned so loudly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you were an important parT! good for you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I was in a really stuffy hall with rich people in suits. I almost got a friend of mine to fart, but not quite. A regular human realizes the importance of voids/silence/etc. An idiot tries to make a statement out of it. fucking retard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well it's definately the best electro/synth music I've heard. but that's not saying much really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i don't think i agree with you on the "regular human" part, which is why i think it's valid... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me it's a concept for a regular human to perceive immediately. Otherwise we're talking about sub-human retards, and I don't give a shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but concepts don't mean much if you don't embody them... it's one thing to think about and quite another to actually experience... of course you could just say 'i'm experiencing it whenever i bloody well feel like it', but it think there's something to be said for the way mr. cage set it up... in any case... i'm glad we're never going to talk about analord again... |

I think something's wrong with a person if they need such a contrived setting to realize that. It's wannabe-esoteric elitism. I think there's something very flamboyant about it; it's totally different than a study of silence for me. |
