I just realised that RDJ have released half the Analord series. Stuff that we’ve waited for in excitement and hyped as hell here at XLTl. And I have also admitted to myself that I don’t like it. The two tracks on AL10 is great, but the tracks on 1-4 (19 if I remember correct) are from decent+ to poor. I mean, if there was a fellow XLT’er who had made them, I would have thought he had some nice tunes, but fuck it; this is Aphex Twin, the techno-legend! The man who gave us ICBYD, RDJ-album and Druqks. Shouldn’t we expect more when he finally release something? Look me in the eyes (sunglasses) and tell me that the tracks on analord 1-4 are top notch, that they are among your all-time Aphex Twin favourites! This is sad. The only way is up, baby, for you and me now. |

It's difficult to say if they're in my all-time favourites yet, that's something that will be seen over time, but I have to say that the Analord series so far has really made a big impression on me and has been on heavy rotation both in my house and my headphones. I'm not in the least dissapointed, rather overwhelmed rather and have really been enjoying the lot. It's understandable that not everyone is so keen on these releases as they don't sound that 'modern' as the gear used for making these is not capable of the kind of cut-up breaks heard on Druqks. People who were not around when Universal Indicators, Caustic Window EPs etc came out might not be into this kind of music in the first place...but I think the whole series is really a treat for all the veteran fans who have been waiting for more AFX techno. |

Baaah. Don't know really. Like I don't know what to expect of new Autechre, BoC, and so on. Just that one of my favourite artists delivers the real deal. I got exceited when AL10 was released, but when I listen to the rest, I just think that it's not the Aphex top standard. Cyngus: That's the magic of the internet. You can actually listen to it BEFORE you buy it, to check out if you like it. So I guess I'll stick to my other 25-30 AFX-releases in my shelves. |

i admit all the analord (except maybe 10) are pretty poor... it's just easy-listening to me i am disappointed |

he's burnt out. I think he needs some months on the beach.. needs to be somewhere with no internet, no computers. |
||||||||
|

|
|
my point is why are you complaining if you didnt have to spend anyhing for it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
criticism requires no sanction. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think that needs an example. I can call you a fucking moron and judge you all I want, even though you have no OBLIGATION (for monetary reasons or otherwise) to be anything other than worthless in my presence. similarly my suggestions may be idle. welcome to the internet! welcome to human society! |

yes, i'm waiting for Digilord's back too... |

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 |
||||||||

you'd better drop that attitude fast or your going to get an ulcer. If you do *anything* in the eye of many people, you are judged, and people talk. granted it sucks, but dude this is not something you can control. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and it doesn't actually suck so much.. I mean it can be a decent feedback loop, and make life really nice and organic in many ways.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
when did i say i wanted to control anything i'm just saying you didn't really suffer much if you got the music for free at well quality and you didnt like it. just delete it and go on to the next quick pick |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The reason why I'm whining is because I feel one of my all time favourite artist has lost the touch. If that's not worth complaining about, I don't know what is. And if I had appreciated the Analord series, I would have bought the records, just like other Aphex Twin stuff. That's it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and I'm saying people can criticize anything as much as they want, and reasoning about justification is silly. |

i love xmd5a, klop job and breath march and i like phonatacid, canticle drawl, laricheard, bwoon dub, the rest of the songs are ok, some of them even plain boring..i got real excited after the analord 10, merely because of xmd5a which is absolutely fantastic! "I mean, if there was a fellow XLT’er who had made them, I would have thought he had some nice tunes" ok, i listen to as much xltronic music as possible but i can't say i've heard anything that would come close to this, even the boring songs..sure there are some great tunes people make but not in the same vain so they can't be compared really, imo. |

tolstoyed! feel like I haven't talked to you in a while! you don't like home made polysynth? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really, no..i find it a bit boring..but i haven't listened to analord 1-4 properly yet, so they might grow on me or something. there's been way too much of other music i like atm so analord will have to wait a bit :) weren't you complaining about polysinth beeing out of tune? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're mostly pretty boring =( yeah a couple things use strange tuning; I actually know it's intentional, rdj himself posted on the p-mu forums and joked about the tuning in one of them.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, all least he kept his sense of humour. i mean, im glad he released this much music, but i really wish the next analords to be more up to my taste again...but then again i'd be even happier if he'd release everything that he's got laying around, i mean he often says how he keeps his best stuff for himself..GIVE US SOME OF THAT!! please. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really think he needs a fucking break from anything.. I know what you mean about the humor; his usual wit/humor/sparkle/whatever is mostly missing from these tracks =( he sounds tired. oh well. he's already given us sooo much nice shit.. I'm listening to that thinktoy drukqs remix and it's great because it makes me listen to drukqs again =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, nothing mindblowing. maybe it's unfair to expect richard to revolutionize electronic music with every lp.. it's a solid effort, but just nothing very special. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im disappointed years ago, actually most played aphex release in my stereo is saw85-92 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only heard a few but they didn't inspire me to hear more very much. They aren't elaborate like the rdj album's first 5 impossibly amazing tracks. These seem like the tracks of a man that composes only because has made too much of a compulsive habit of making music, but lost for the time being at least, the original spark that motivated him to focus his savant like concentration on every second of time. |

maybe 9 will be aphex twin again? i dont think so though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
weird, I'm listening to them all through right now and really enjoying it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I find them to be exactly what I had wanted to hear from richard d james for a long time. You don't need fast randomized beats when you have a good rhythm and beautiful melodies. I think its really more a matter of taste here, then quality. Some people just really don't like acid. |

i'll just say it again: previous aphex > acidlord |

don't you fucking tell me how to think! if you don't like analord, you obviously aren't into acid. don't fucking bother to download them and come here and complain about it and expect everyone to feel the same way. Sire speaks the truth. |

i like 1 and 2 and the samples i heard from 10. i'm glad he's releasing stuff he's played live over the years and i'm enjoy its chilled electro acid vibes....the more listen the richer they seem <-pun! Also, as always, when you hear the tracks in a mix, they really stand out as being fabarooney. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I think everybody needs to take a good listen to ICBYD and SAW II. And yes, Analord 1-4 is a bit disappointing for my taste. i'm not big fan of old skewl acid stuff, but that's me. |

fuck! I hate when people go "oh, you shouldn't complain! NEVER complain! It's one of the seven deadly sins to complain! You must never be discontent, and if you are, you cannot let it show in public!" ... sorry, just a bit wound-up.. going to the dentist. But it IS annoying when people do that... |

stop complaining. it's annoying |

All analords are nice. IMO. |

more xmd5a/home made polysynth/breath march/crying in your face/bwoon dub!!! less canticle drawl shit and I will be happy :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I admit it im slightly dissapointed, I made a whole topic about this not too long ago. I know what u talking about. some tracks like Canticle Drawl, Midievil Rave 1-2 etc are just plain WACK tracks! I got my hopes up HIGH when I heard Analord 10. but its nice anyway, even tho im not that into acid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Analord is shit and if you like it that's because your taste in music sucks. Try to listen to some good music for a change. |
||||||||
|

to people that enjoy raw analog synth noises this is like sex for the ears, it's only deceptively simple, it's all about aesthetic, plenty of people like BOC and they're not exactly musical geniuses, they just pump out simple, but REALLY fucking nice melodies, and everybody loves them, if you don't like the aesthetic of the noises on this release then you probably aren't going to like it |

This is my first comment on the analord series and I have to admit i'm a little dissapointed. I haven't 'really' liked anything he has released since drukqs... So far i've listened to analord 10, 1 and 2 and its a very mixed bag... Canticle Drawl is pretty good and Fenixfunk 5 is just above average, the rest are pretty poor to my ears. I've been a big Richard D James fan for years, for someone to have made masterpieces like SAWII, I Care Because You Do and the Richard D James Album its extremely dissapointing to be hearing music by him now that is just average. Those afformentioned albums were the peak of his career for me... I'm probably just echoing the comments of the first poster on here but average just isn't good enough for someone who has made some of the most amazing music of the last decade. |
