ive read alot of negative reviews of the analord series. i have a question is there an actual ep or 10 single releases, anyone? i just bought 1-5(without hearing) same thing happened for me with drukqs read some negativity before i heard it right when it came out. when i heard it i loved all of it. Afx to me was the first to combine effects, beats and his "found" sounds or modified sounds and his element of melody on a level(complex) where in a way it was not experimental or an "accident" he had it down to a science. before him phillip glass, john cage, fsol. like phillip glass were is the jungle/ breaks he didnt combine all the elements(he wasnt trying to) like afx. fsol, where is that ridiculos complexity syncopation, execution of triplets on the drums+effects. NO dis on either by ANY means. I believe some people are saying afx analord is crap that is subjective/because they can. alot of these people critiqueing have never turned on a sampler or drummachine. i appreciate because i have made tracks. i like hip hop, triphop, idm, jungle. all different U cant compare. You cant really compare hiphop to afx. but my point is afx is king of this whole electronic thing anything made on a sequencer. He could make better beats/tracks than dr dre, dj premier, johnny L, venetian snares, fsol, producer of brittney spears anyone in there respective styles if he wanted to in my opinon. by better i mean sound better in general more likely to bop your head too and sell more copies. im not jocking afx. after ICBUD, RDJ, Come to daddy, windowlicker and Drukqs I ask who can beat him? no answers have satisfied me yet. I HAVE SPOKEN! |

negative writing is at www.metafilter.com/mefi/38278 or search yahoo>aphex twin analord, aprox 3 down the list, after reading there my post would make more sense. |

Isn't it just the old "my opinion is more valid than you're opinion" argument? (e.g. a pointless waste of time). If you like aphex (or anything else for that matter) thats ok........ if you don't like aphex, then thats ok aswell.......... Anyway, welcome to xltronic....... plently of aphex fan(boi)s here :) |

ok agreed. basically wanted to know if there is a release titled "ep" or if its only analord 1-10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only 1-10, as seperate vinyl releases, no cd (at this point).... 10 was released first with a limited edition binder.............. and i think 10 will be released again, after 1-9, but not with the binder..... and maybe the first release of 10 was audiophile quality (but i might have that wrong) |

I agree with you 100%, so it's nice to hear this. Especially coming from someone with a hip-hop background. Apart from round these parts I think RDJ is very under-stated/rated or whatever the most accurate term is. |

Oh, and it's 11 single releases with 1-5 and 10 already out. 10 was limited to 1000 copies and available only from Rephlex and has sold out despite the initial £40 price tag. If you want that now it's always on ebay for about £150 odd quid. The others should be out in the coming months. Oh and 10 is by Aphex Twin, and 1-5 are by AFX. Not sure about the rest though. This is significant beacuse the styles are quite different. |

have you heard 10 is it better or just rare. what a bummer my collection will probably lack 10. |
||||||||

10 is excellent stuff. Most would say it is better than the rest so far yes, and I would too. Only 2 tracks; Fenix Funk 5 and XMD5A. Both are much more complex and Aphex-sounding if that makes any sense. XMD5A makes use of haunting bells and a watered-down piano anlong with shifts in crazy fast-paced beats. Both have lush melodies that tend to wash over the song towards the end. Much more profound than 1-5, and kind of more what you would expect to hear post-Druqks. |

I think RDJ is very under-stated/rated or whatever the most accurate term is. very very, indeed. |

he's proper taking the piss with this Analord release. 1000 people bought the limited 10, which means 40,000quid allready, and he knows that them people who bought the linited 10 will also buy 1-9 no matter what, just good marketing releasing 10 as the limited one cos the hardcore fans are then suckered into buying the rest, at a fiver a pop thats another 45,000quid at least. like i said, taking the piss big time. 26 remixes for cash then a box of wank for even more cash. |

huh? |
||||||||

|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah because out of that £40 it's not as though they had to pay for the cost of the heavyweight pressed vinyl, the cost of custom binder manufacturing, the cost of packaging and international shipping charges. And for the regular vinyl I'm sure they didn't have the cost of the pressings...Rephlex, AFX and Aphex Twin must be laughing their tits off counting their untold riches. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
he's deffo clearing 100,000 + on this release easy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they didnt have to make a binder if they didnt want to... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha ok. Bob you missed my point somewhat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

sorry you were being sarcastic, right? i cant focus, its like 10 mins till lunchtime and im getting hungry :) |

i think he is. rdj will probably see about 15k of that, which he deserves as we bought his unique product, which is delightful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he has quite a well paid job, richy rich |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i didnt knew that costs of all these are so big. how about other vinyls that you can get for more than twice less than analord ? to be honest - all other vinyls... seems that they're made out of shit poo pressed by some cheap labors. easterns, probably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and yes, richard prolly deserves it, just for the fact that he releases something from his shelfs, ya know, the things that even he doesnt remember doing them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
although your post isnt coherent i think what your getting at is wrong. |
||||||||
|
|

im glad that you added "i think" part. |
