id be fucking pissed if people were screaming about my music and creativity and shit - when they just downloaded them at shit sounding mp3 quality - listened to them during work or in between classes and then tossed them in a folder on their computer as storage data so other people can share it off them - then seconds afterward they clicked open the web browser to complain about it - id want to take a big fat shit right in your mouth ahahaha, youre joking, right ? lolol |

I agree with what Sire said a million years ago where he says "the whole series is really a treat for all the veteran fans who have been waiting for more AFX techno." - I suppose he's in a position now where he has a new generation of fans that love Drukqs onward, and the fans that started with him with SAW 85-92. That's not a criticism or anything of anyone, or saying you can only enjoy him if you heard him 10 years ago, just that there do seem to be, for some people, different aspects that they take from AFX over others. I love, LOVE the Analords, initially I was a bit disappointed with 3 & 4 but now, Crying in your face, Breath March, Klop Job, Boxing Day... CLASSIC TWINAGE, and they do have to be listened to properly as there is a lot to be heard in the nuances. I actually had a dream last night that I was at Blech night and RDJ broke the decks so everyone left, and I asked him about the upcoming analords (he had a 10" white vinyl of Analord 6, oh yes) and he said every year he wants to release tracks in a diiferent format so I guess, next year could be... I don't know, Dicky never lies to me in dreams, we're lucid buddies. |

even if you like the early afx tracks you have to admit they are a mixed bag, there are crap tracks and great tracks, whereas SAWII and the few albums after that have been consistantly brilliant, thats the kind of quality we want to see again. |

The winner? "something completely and totally different" So he released Smojphace (noise) and everyone complained like little school girls not getting their pads on white-pant day. So now, time goes on and there are quite a few posts on how everyone would wish he would just "release his old afx material, from way back in the day" ... "all the analogue shit that he has just sitting around, just release it" well sure as mutha fukin shit look what happens, a whole slew of analogue releases. now of course, about 80% of the people from what i've seen are taking these as "created in 2005" analogue tunes and "oh man he's sooo unoriginal now" ..... i can't help but laugh inside at this foolishness. A lot of the tracks have been play @ live sets 3+ years ago, and who knows how old many of them actually are (i suspect older than most of us think; a mixture of old and new and maybe even re-created tunes ) not to mention the dub-over on Bwoon Dub. Ok, so now we have 'gents exclaiming that richard fell off and that he is so "un-original" (kekek) and the sort. To those people who don't like analord 1-2; how often do you listen to the analogue bubblebaths? how often do you listen to the crazy acid U.I. I know I was never a HUGE fan of the A.Bubblebaths, an |

and this release is *really* getting me inspired to go back and take a look/listen at some of his really early acid work. I was never hugei nto the acid and now with the re-hashing of this analogue stuff, im really starting to get excited about it!!!! I have always been into his later work (especially drukqs) and the melody-oriented tracks (oh wait, that's just about EVERY song hah!) and ya know. Well, analord 10 was just insane-crazy. I don't think people realize just how hard (i sure as hell can't imagine) it is to make this kind of stuff on analogue gear. Many of you have probably been spoiled by opening a program applet and starting to insert sounds. Meh, coming from analogue *physical* gear, it really seems to have a much more "personal" touch / feeling / listen to it. Analord 10 was great, and labeled as Aphex Twin (somewhat representing DrukQs I guess you could say). Then Analord 1 came out, and I'm like, ok cool some toned down acid stuff that i've never really been into before. Well, sure as shit I started blasting it in the car and man-o-man did i really start getting into it. I now understand what all the hub-bub is about acid and how badass it is to groove to. Ok, it took some time for most of the tracks to grow on me, much like any release. Stepping Filter (once it gets going) has some groovy crazy type movement in it. canticle drawl is pretty damn cool sounding and really banging (bassline) mc-4 acid, yeah, i don't even think i need to describe this track untitlede, well i skipped over it at first, but on a few more listens i really liked that background synth that came creeping up and now i can dig this track (usually only when im tdriving) WHERE's YOUR GIRLFRIEND, hjeezous this track is the SHIT. those 1/2 cut snares are INSANE (especially at the breakdown around 3:01) OH MAN, and the bass my god the BASS! that shit NAILS in my car setup grumpy acid is fuking crazy good groovy shit. i LOVE this track |

analord 150b is fuking BANGING, i can't wait to hear (if ever) this shit on the dancefloor that bass is fuking INSANE.......it's sad most people aren't listening to bass the same way i do, because this shit is just over the top pure resonance. analord 2 oh man, ok so this is really what it's about for me. the hard acid took a backseat and real beautiful melodies started creeping out from the background. phonatacid is just a bangin' track that transistions so fukin well, it's so slow and smooth, laricherard is a crazy track to listen to when driving at night under the city lights pissed up in se1 has a damn near magical melody to it that is 110% nostolgic!!! and of course, my favorite, bwoon dub, god damn the melody (both parts of it) are just out of this world, i don't know how anyone can not get the biggest kick out of that shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now analord 3 and 4 just came eout and i've been grooving to that pretty good, boxing day, klop job, etc are analord2 style with a bit more acid creeping back out and almost taking over, much more complex, building and building yet still not going all crazy-all-over-the-place etc type music the midi raves are almost analord1 style to me and there are times when i like these and other times when i want the melody tracks, all dependso n m ymood CRYING IN YOUR FACE, im sorry but that is the most bad ass voice i have ever heard, regardless...jeezous this track is the SHIT and i can't get the damn voices out of my head! home made polysynth? so many people think it's "out of tune" wtf. .. im not sure what to say about that, toeach their own but damn ,,, stop listening to mp3s .. this track has some crazy nostolgia going on as well. hulibut acid, and the rest are just banging i can't get enough. |

i agree with sire 110% most people are just listening as soon as they get it skimming through the *MP3S* (laughs omg) and skimming around going "hmm this isnt bad, not what i wanted though" umm, really? that's sucks man im getting the biggest kick out of this. first of all, we have about 70% of the people listening to analord on mp3 (guessing) uhh, i ripped analord 3 and 4 and i know a lot of people got them off me and i can tell you, after listening to A3/A4 in my car on mp3 cd and then going back to the vinyl, i am hearing a LOT of differences, so ... lol, i feel sorry for the people without the vinyl who are trying ot judge this album on "quality" as for it being boring? meh, if you want more drukq style cut up in your FACE drill, then i guess there's always vsnares. this is exactely what i want, the most beautiful aphex melodies with a little craziness going on in the background (ocassionally) now the beauty about these, and richard, is that his layers blend so well especially on A10, or A3 and A4 there wil be some layers in there and NOTHING, NOTHING jumps out to grab you. you can (as said by someone else in this forum) you can put analord on and do other work, and it doesn't break your concentration, it's not like most other electronic music where if you try concentrating on something while listening to it, you keep getting pulled to the music. no way no how, this shit is smooth and can idle well in the background, and every now and then youll go "wtf damn that is awesome" the melodies are out of this world i am totally happy with analord 10, 1, 2 and i dont even want 5 or 6 to come out because i need more time to listen to 10,2,1 etc... too much analord, ANALORD OVERLOAD!! give me some time to fuking DIGEST THIS SHIT AND ENJOY IT BEFORE THROWING MORE AT ME. feel bad for all the people who say this music isnt good when they are listening to mp3s and probably arent in the right mindset to begin with of course not everyones gonna like it |

there is the whole nostolgic feeling too of putting on the vinyl and im glad it's not coming to cd anytime soon. it gives you a form (mental) of interaction with the music and the "feeling" of it and the "sound" man , im so glad i started getting into vinyl recently (to listen to, not to mix) i have no problem getting immersed in any of these analord tunes. this was well worth my money. i don't even want 5,6,7,8,9 for at least a year. fuk. |

That is an Apocalypse Now scale post but I have to agree with you. I think we've all been spoilt with so much music sometimes we can't hear properly. It was a dream that RDJ would go back and make tracks like these, sometimes I Can't believe it's true when I listen to "Pissed up in SE1" or "Where's your girlfriend"... he's such an apparently contrary fellow that I thought he'd only ever release rubbish music just to piss everyone off, but no, to create classic acid techno, ... and lots of it. I'd agree as well maybe there's too much, the music needs to be digested, not all the tracks are immediate, some are very subtle, they're all growers, the melodies creeping out, and the genuis of doing all this analogalallally is just mind slapping. Cheers RDJ, and cheers Elsuive for nailing the case quite so catagorically. |

you are sooo right :) analord is another new world by rdj. i love it. ekhm, actually every his epic record - saw2, drukqs, analord, analogue bubblebaths - is like wicked fairy tale for me :P i love that feeling. landscapes with Lords and Daddies and Mum with Dad singing "happy birthday"! cinematic, absolutely fabulous stuff :) this is how i treat his every realese - as a story. analord is a fascinating one :) |

i really think the people who don't (there are always exceptions) but ... i would like to take an RDJ fan who has never heard ICBYD (impossible, i know) but take a so called "fan" and let them listen to ICBYD for the first time and i bet they would say it's rubbish, like they are saying about analord now (i hope you can see my point?) like if he had a 2nd half to ICBYD from mid 90s and released it tomorrow (and of course everyone would think he made these tracks just yesterday instead of being old material) and ya know, people would complain he's unoriginal and the music sucks. you guys should be thrilled the analogue melody king is back. nothing is more beautiful than some of those single notes on there this isn't analogue bubblebath, this is an analogue-fuking-lake. go ahead, dive underwater ... and re-emerge and inhale. |

I can just agree. I have followed RDJ since 93 and "Windowlicker" and "Drukqs" was disappointments for me. I loved Fenix funk 5 when I first heard it - it´s an awesome track! But the other tracks a r e growers and now I like a lot of these tracks too. I can´t wait for a CD-release! I seen people mention that a lot of the tracks are old stuff, they obviously is (just compare analord 1-2 "mono-sound" with analord 10 "wiiiide stereo-sound"), but has this been confirmed in an interview or something? |

I was a bit disappointed when I put on Analord 01 for the first time, but when I flipped the record to play the B-side, I was actually smiling. I was perhaps mislead to believe that this series was like a new ABB, but it's not. Although using old equipment, the tracks sound fresh as bread out of the oven. It's pastiche, but forward-thinking at the same time. I agree that it might be best to be primed with old-school acid to fully appreciate it, but in it's own right they are class A acid tracks. Considering the limits of memory/usage on the equipment, especially on the Roland X0X series, the drumtracks/acidlines are extremely clever and RDJ through and through. I like all the tracks so far, some more than others, but in the end it all boils down to personal taste. For those who don't like it, I am your phriend and won't hate you for it or smack you in the head with my binder. Elusive: I love you for the small Analord-essay you wrote :) |

wow, how can windowlicker be dissapointing? |
||||||||
|

|
|
...to me windowlicker is just weirdness over a quite weak basic melody, I mean "Supremacy II", "Heliosphan" (Live 97´) and AB4, track 3 ("Cuckoo"?) are all great RDJ pieces that didn´t need all tiresome fx & editing "windowlicker" needed too be at least anything... IMHO |

i think the whole vinyl versus mp3 thing is mostly bullshit... there's definitely a difference, but for most people it isn't going to make or break whether they like the release or not... as other people have said, it's just a matter of taste; to slag someone for their listening attitude just because they don't like analord and you do is pretty silly, and a mite inconsiderate also... most people really wanted more drukqs... frankly, if i he puts out much more drukqs, i will shoot myself in the face, because the dressing over the formula is wearing real bloody thin at this point... that said, these tracks are definitely hit and miss... i hope he starts drawing inspiration from elsewhere, one of these days... but if not: it's no big deal, there are plenty of other brilliant innovative minds who can/will/have accepted the challenge... |

"to slag someone for their listening attitude just because they don't like analord and you do is pretty silly" "Admit it. You ARE disappointed" <--- this listening attitude? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i knew listening attitude was a silly way of putting it... what i meant by that is the attitude that someone has towards listening to the music itself... i was mostly referring to cygnus and elusive comments about people not listening to it properly because they have the mp3s and blah blah blah... in any case, i wouldn't take mort's comments that seriously... i'm sure he doesn't really think he can speak for everyone... (although the saucy thread title, ensured that this thread will hit 100)... maybe that sounds like a double standard, i'm really not trying to make that much of a statement though... i'm just padding my points total. |
