I think 10 is better than both of these. Albeit I am a bigger fan of Aphex than of AFX. Last two minutes of Bwoon Dub are really quite nice. Phonatacid and SteppingFilter101 are my favourites apart from that. I dunno if I'm all that disappointed... I like quite a few songs off the analogue bubblebath series, but I think I always expect a few bad apples when it comes to AFX releases. Who else has heard it? What do you think of it? |

i also think 10 is better. but i also enjoy 1 & 2 very much. they're both advancements in their respective styles. |

If they had a little more pretty they'd be perfect. Like the last minute of fenix funk. |

It gets better with every listen! In a few days, I'll love it like I do Analord 10. |

diferent and good |

i dunno, 10 is rather better than 01 and 02 |
||||||||
|
|

|

from what i gather, this whole release is a huge disappointment and nobody wants to show it. it's ok to be pissed off you know. |

J198 > That's just plain stupid what you are saying because in the end it's all a matter of taste !!! And I guess for people who like this classic-afx-acid-style, it's GREAT. And yes I like it a lot. I like it even more than Analord 10, which is actually really nice too, especially the b-side. |

who want to share it? |

Phonatacid is one of my fav afx songs. I fucking love it. All the little noises and that beat is soo groovy. Great work. These realeases are more listenable than Analord 10 for me. Not that I dislike 10 or anything. |
||||||||

i'm sure there's people who like it, and i'm not saying i don't, but i think it's safe to admit that everybody was expecting more. If this release is good, well then it's not good enough. unless you are saying that drukqs is probably the last fantastic release by him. I know there's still a lot to come, but i'm guessing it will all be just alright music. Stupid of me, yeah. sure. This is only aphex twin we are talking about here, the man everybody labeled as genius, and now that he is taking the piss non stop, and puts out just OK music, nobody seems to care, because it's still aphex's music. |

the truth lies in the middle |

i will say no more about this. I dont want to piss anyone off. maybe one day i'll love this release. who knows. happy analord listening everyone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im wondering, do you listen to music?... i mean.. really listen? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when there is something to really listen to yes. what are you implying? that all of richard's music has some hidden beauty and perfection underneat the surface or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats exactly what it has. im listening to phonatacid for nth time on repeat and it just gets better. those breaks are so funky when they weave in and out. lush, anyone agree? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Analord is a little like drexcyia, but better. I agree with J198, aphex's genius persona is working against him. These songs are really good, but I'm not rolling on the floor in extacy like some other aphex releases. He should probably release more music and just not care anymore. Maybe that's what he's doing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's getting more and more yay after every listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree that phonatacid is a pretty damn nice song. But, I think I am disappointed in the sense that I've been waiting for a release that has a track that can top Meltphace 6 (a long time favourite of mine). Although, I shouldn't expect such a thing to arise when the genre is acid. "Hey, business is great!"- Fry "Ehh, Great is okay, but amazing would be great"- Bender I think when it comes to Aphex, we all live by bender's logic. |

I bet this music was a lot more fun to make than the druqks computer stuff. Aside from playing with that piano. |
||||||||
|

you said it man! |

I've been a little disappointed by Analord10, but it was OK ; I've just got Analord01 and 02 and i think they're very good, especially Analord01 ; i'm not to keen on drukqs, i wasn't to keen on early aphex neither but i think those releases are really nice. It's getting better with each listening. ENJOY ! |

I think Analord 1 and 2 are most like what I expected when it was revealed Aphex would be releasing a series of analogue acid e.p.s. Beautiful and catchy Aphex melodies with classic acid sounds and production. I eagerly await the other installments of Analord though to see how the style will progress. I hope there is some harsher Caustic Window type stuff, and some more Aphex Twin style stuff like Analord 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I think they're pretty much what I expected as well. Now that it looks like the releases will be under different aliases I'm just waiting and hoping for a Polygon Window 12" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's totally different thing to analord 10, personally i like a bit of diversity, so i hope next analords will be different to these again. as for music, nothing as mindblowing as anal10 but stil a beautiful, emotional music, with some brilliant songs. |

I WANT THESE SONGS :< |

J198 >> Well, yes, it's a fair statement to say that everybody was expecting a LOT. Every release of AFX is hyped up to the maximum. It seems that it has to be nothing less than devine in order to have people call it great or superb. But hey, not even Aphex, even though he is quite a genius, isn't a god or whatsoever. So please, give him some slack. Analord 01 & 02 are nice, great. I like them a lot. And I'm not the only one. You have to see things in perspective. One shouldn't get too much expectations. Peace out. Aciiiieeeeeeeeeet. |

bwoon dub . eof. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
umm they're just diferent. i don't like analord 10 that much because the tracks on drukqs are so much better. so it kinda dissapointed me. while analord 1 & 2 is the best by aphex at that type of music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I reckon I prefer Analord 10, in particular xmd5a, but that said, 10 was a real grower, so I'll reserve judgement till I've listened to 1&2 some more. Bwoon Dub is great though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
getting better with each listen. now i like all the tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, Analord 10 was just different Drukqs-type stuff, nothing really mindblowing (but very good nonetheless), I reckon 1&2 are quite a new direciton for him. As Pomme said, Bwoon Dub is quite Un-aphexy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bwoon dub is my favorite. Along with Fenix Funk. He's really capable of much more, though. I wouldn't mind having a full length of the Vibert Windowlocker scratch remix that's on the video. Where's that shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The same bass sound in Bwoon Dub is in windowlicker. Close |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
To me it sounds almost as if he has been a bit depressed or something as of late. Analord has some melancholy sounds. I suppose I was really looking forward to some of the more beautiful and happy tunes. But these are still some really nice tracks. Does anyone else find "where's your girlfriend?" to be an unusual title for a track by RDJ??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Where's you girlfriend" is a play on "Where's your child" an old acid track by BamBam, Aphex used to play all the time when he dj'd. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It seems a step down from Analord 10. Both tracks there had very nice melodies but mostly what i'm hearing on 1 and 2 in the way of melodies are cheesy acid squeaks that sound amazingly dated to my ears. I am also not too fond on the retro style drum set he is using, and I especially don't like the cheesy ass hand clap that he used to ruin some decent songs like Bwoon Dub (the last minute or two is fantastic though I will admit) and Phonatacid. I can't tell you how much I hate hearing the hand clap. I've never been into RDJ's dancy or acid stuff anyways though. After Analord I hope he discards the acid and comes again with manic drums and/or moving melodies... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Didnt know that about the "Where's your girlfriend" track... I'm so uncultured (or something). But as for the handclap... RDJ (and my own songs.. which very rarely have them) is the only artist that I think uses handclaps really well. They are so good in Bbydhyonchord. If anyone else uses them.. i almost instantly dismiss it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i miss the melodies too. i dont think theres enough here. but id still give it a yay. i think theres a level of maturity in this release. phonatacid works for me in a way that tha did on saw1. the hand claps dont bother me; the rest is too good. i think wheres your girlfriend is crap. yay overall. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Listening to Bbydhyonchord again... you're right those handclaps are inoffensive and don't stand out at all.... in fact they give the song a sharpness that I quite enjoy... However I switch to 1:35 on Bwoon dub, and I'm not hearing any sharpness... only dull unadulterated hand claps that sound like the first few tracks I made on fruity loops with the most preset of the presets. Don't get me wrong, there are good songs here. Steppenfighter and Pissed up in SE1 are good, though still under the par set by Analord 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes but afx is underpar to aphex twin. its a bit unfair to compare analord 10 with analord 1 and 2. itd be much fairer to comapre a1 with a2. and i prefer a2. i think bwoon dub is ok. but just ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I thought all the analord's were AFX? The binder says Aphex Twin I know but I was under the impression that they were all listed as AFX. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think analord 2 is better than 1 aswell. All the tracks have something in them to really enjoy. All the tracks on Analord 1 (except for steppenfilter 101, which I really like) I think are okay.. but nothing about them makes me really want to listen to them. Also.. certain parts annoy me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Those claps in bwoon dub dont bother me all that much, but I know what you mean about the first few fruityloops tracks thing. My early tracks were probably very similar. lol. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm....analord 10 has gotten better with every listen, I was kind of sceptic about it at first. That being said I did like analord10 on first listen better than 1 and 2. |
