jeez avart, sometimes I wish there was a slower more chill version of windowlicker. With less effects even. That's how solid I think the basics of windowlicker are. It's an excellent track minus the effects. God, what about that hiphop scratch mix in the video? Anyway, Im almost 30. I have been listening to aphex for around 12 years and I appreciate everything he releases. |

Yeah I'm down with your theory DeadEight.. It's not because it's only a mp3 that we can't judge it. For crying out loud even if it's only a 48kbps 22.1khz mp3 I can still hear wether I like THE TRACK or not. I can listen to more than just the quality... the track on its own has to be nice and after that we can speak about the quality of the track. So you don't need crystal clear lossless rips to conclude if something is a nice or bad track. IMO. |

I think ANAL 10 is the greatest thing since the invention of the lightbulb. 1 2 3 4 are a bit blah blah ..... 3 and 4 has some great melodies though , they are growing on me. 1 and 2 is very mediocre. Im not dissapointed in the sence that i thought he would release more boring mindless drill n bass. 10 shows there is hope. (IMFO) |

What a complete waste of time this topic was. I agree with fabian and pete. |

I'm fucking loving the Analord series of releases. I'm listening to them all a lot. I'm sure my iPod is fucking sick of playing them. They're fucking awesome. I'm a relatively new fan of Aphex. I think the first album I actually got was DrukQs. I heard Come to Daddy in a club and found out what it was an did some investigation. Found this site i think and saw that there was a new album. Ordered it and fucking loved it. At that point I started getting his back catalogue and I was so fucking impressed with it. I just knew I had to get everything. I'm seeing Analord as a sort of gift to newer fans who weren't around in the early days. Getting to experience him releasing at a heavy rate again. That I think it's quality music as well just adds to it for me. |

Yes, I wasted my time reading it. Something I have noticed on the board of late is that people are increasingly looking for a collective admission that something is shit, fake or whatever. It's fucking rediculous. Have your own opinion on something, be open to discussion, but don't try to imply to that other people are trying to fool themselves into liking something, or that whatever artist is being discussed has lost touch with their fan base because you don't like this track or that track. It pathetic and weak. You have the ego to think your opinion is right over all others but at the same time you are still looking for agreement from others. It's boring me stupid (and I will just sit and wait for people to say this post was boring etc. etc. boring boring) |

Sorry to add more fuel to the fire at this point in the discusssion (been offline so missed quite a bit of it) but no matter what people say about the mp3 vs vinyl issue, in my opinion the difference between the two when it comes to music like this (maybe it's the analogue production or possibly a purely psychological effect) is enormous. The 12"s simply sound a lot better and fatter than the mp3's that are floating around. I'm not saying that it's not possible to hear whether or not you like the tracks by hearing the the mp3's, but it's no use complaining about production quality and such unless you've heard the vinyl versions. The artwork is also very fitting, can't wait to hear if there's a major change in direction with 5+6 as the artwork is very different in style. |

I agree about the difference between the vinyl and the MP3's (even the high VBR versions) |

yeah.. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|

Fuck yeah, blasting out Analord on my stereo as opposed to my headphones is such a fucking contrast. I've listened to the mp3s more than the vinyl but that's a practicality issue only. If I could have the vinyl sound with me then I'd do it. |

I'm disappointed by the fact he isn't pushing the boundries of software and music in general... But I can't complain about the music, like someone else said, Analords 1-4 recapture the Aphex magic from '92-94, but with a slightly more mature, graceful and repectful approach - beautiful melodies and straight up 808 and 303 programming. Really reminds me of SOSW. I'm really spoilt by the amount of tracks we're getting, but I also hope we see a change in style for the remaining Analords, not because 1-4 are bad, it's just we all know Ritchie is capable of mastering many different styles and genres and to see his limiting himself to one is something of a waste of talent. |

Any series of eps that contains a track as good as Halibut Acid is deserving of legend status. |
||||||||
|
|

|

It seems we have very similar tastes in Analords, Halibut Acid as I previously said somewhere at some time is the stand out track off 3 and 3 the way stepping filter was from 1 and 2. |
||||||||
|

Just having a track name like "Halibut Acid" is something that should be rewarded :D |

It's one of those things, for me it wasn't the most immediate of tracks to get into, which just seems odd now I listen to it as I have it repeat... it is classic (I know that word is overused) classic Twin. It doesn't sound so much similar to Portreath Harbour, one of my all time fave Twin tracks, but I get that same kind of "vibe". I am never going to make rash ranting proclamations about music again, I need to listen properly for a week at least before saying anything. I might need a fortnight with LCC but, I'll get there. |

the numbers of selfish comment on what rdj should do to please you is absurdly high. STOP expecting something from a man who is known for NOT releasing what people expect... listen to it, juge it, like it or don't, speak about it and all, but PLEASE stop with all the stupid comments about losing his touch, not being innovative, being lazy, releasing old tracks, capable of so much more, i prefered windowlicker,... as always there are peoiple who like it and people who don't... do you know how many people liked his tracks back in the early 90's? not soooo much as you would think, it was very underground music dubbed noisy pop-tech by a vast majority of people my point is that there are many, MANY, people who like rdj because it is/was cool or trendy, who only like some of his tracks, and maybe that now he releases music without any form of compromise on his tastes, people are not liking it which his completly normal.... i always was amazed at the amount of people "liking" rdj because it is/was cool or trendy and never liking anything remotely similar to his material by another artists, maybe now that he's releasing non-compromised music again they realise they don't like what he is all about but rather some of his most poppy songs... back when i heard classics i loved it instantly but i was hearing things not present, i was buying the whole genius and best artist and all that bullshit about him, now for analord i know exactly why i like it, it is just damn good/lush acid music made with a love for the music and the machines that shines trough the recordings and makes me smile each time. stop trying to find a revolution in music everytime you hear something new... |

Riiiight, yes looking at xcheque's tracklisting I was listening to the 2nd fake-arse thing. Fuck it to high dudgeon. I am going to wait now for the record, like it would've been better if we all had... better if we just hold our horses, WOAH! |

I've enjoyed the tracks. I'm hyped to hear the rest as they apparently get progressiibly better. |
||||||||

But I'll admit I was disapointed with Analord 10. And later when analord 1 & 2 came out. haha so i guess you're right. But I like it now.. so.. then I guess you're not right. oh well, now Im confused. peace |

the only reason i brought up the mp3s sounding like shit to the vinyl is because most ppl have my analord3/4 mp3 rips and after listening to them for a while then oging back to the vinyl , i know i didnt do a very good job. that's all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

i haven't even listened to any of the analord releases. i'm not disapointed in the music, i think my interest hasn't been piqued enough. |

the only thing I'm disappointed about analord is how short analord 10 is. I hope 7-9 are just like 10... richard if you're watching, please, make it happen. |

Dude your turntable is damaging your records, listening to the rips... Your weight sounds too high, like the stylus plastic cover bit is actually toucing the record! Sorry I'm extremely drunk right now |
||||||||

richard if you're watching, please say hi to derek from me. |

i'm very happy that i haven't paid any money for the Analord releases. this is how happy i am: :))))))))))))))))))))))))) |

Not disappointed at all. Really enjoying them, and i was listening to RDJ's music from '91 onwards so these are a real treat for me, haven't heard 3 and 4 just yet (got them ready to play today tho) but number 2 is well chilled out, takes me back to some great days '88 acid mixed with '91 rdj ambient... |

Isn't that kind of what this board is for? Discussing? Seeing others' opinions? (What I think's funny is people complaining about people complaining, or too many threads on "certain" subjects...for Cliff's sake, if you don't wanna read it, don't smegging read it!) I'm fine now.... |

after all is said and done and you have all 12+ releases, you'll be able to judge it properly and as a complete whole rather than bits and pieces and then likely see it the same way as I already do: RDJ is not looking to blow your mind with these releases, merely producing lush synths & looking into his past to present the really early Analog style and gradually progress to a more modern-Aphex like style we are used to...I think people put RDJ on a pedestal for no fucking reason & expect something they're never gonna get. Like someone sort of said, complaining about it now is a little premature or at least give someone the benefit of the doubt before complaining about a bunch of free downloads. |
