Though saying that, all Analord tracks sound like Analord. And I think these samples certainly sound like Analord. I will shut up about it now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we know what yer saying |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you are implying that the first samples here are real? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

and i thought i did a followup to elusive.. very similar avatars. |
||||||||

I guess we'll find out in about a month or so. The whole fake/real stuff is getting pretty tedious by now. |
||||||||
|

i see you point there mr. but.. i actually think it's pretty entertaining to see how people easily make fakes that hardcore fanboys cannot tell is real or not. |

hm,.. mr. but. hahaha |

Hey! I'll give you mr but... I must say, if it's not real, then the guy who made it has expertly forged the analord style. I'm hoping it's genuine, cause it sounds good. If it appears not to be, then I hope the trickster reveals himself with the full tracks, all .zipped up and ready to go. |
||||||||

hear hear |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed the tracks are good... |
||||||||
|
|

|

and btw that XLTrack made me laugh, thank you sir! |

Trojan.KillAV.E is awesome. Can't... stop.... listening.... golden stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yea, Trojan sounds great. Is it just me or does that one "lead" sound like a buzzing modem? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you're all kidding yourselves over analord. had richard had the GUTS to release this without his own name attached, no fucker wouldv'e bought this because.. well, it's rubbish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd have to disagree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't understand what he's trying to achieve, some kind of retro update on an old skool sound? well it doesn't work. in fact, it's bordering on insulting. very poor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know there's far too much Analord talk but it is weird, I veer from thinking it's quite ace to not really knowing. I put them on and there's something "unsatisfying" about them, they sound like demos or something a mate did.... they're all variations of Mr Fingers "Can U Feel it", but not as good. They're good but I find them hard to love. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is exactly what i said. it's pointless music, you will never listen to it in a year, it will not stand up to similar new or old music of the same style. basically, it's fucking bollocks and i want my money back. the only erdeeming feature is that i WILL get my money back, probably thricefold. but it's not entertaining nor enjoyable. sorry. |
||||||||

It's lamentable that they'll probably become "classics" due to collectiability, rather than because of the actual music. I don't wish to suggest Mr Twin shouldn't release all this, but you do have to wonder how these tracks would've fared if they were presented as an album or under an unknown name. It's like when you talk to some sound engineer or metal virtuoso guitarist that says it's so easy to make "dance music", yet could they really pull it of if it's so simple? It takes more than technical ability, in some ways less - if anything, Analord goes to show that Mr Twin probably can't convincingly do straight up "dance music", or pop for that matter. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
Windowlicker was pretty dancey! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh I agree, I'm not making myself that clear. I'm not even sure if I'm right, but if I am listening to a mix of classic techno, house, acid, new and old, and then drop in an Analord, it doesn't sound all that great in comparison. But that might not be the right approach. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont think the analords was supposed to be "straight up dance music" or pop. It's simply melodic aphex-acid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think Analord is meant as a more... trying to do newer sounding, melodic type stuff on old gear thing. Just looking at newer music through the analogue hardware perspective or something. I guess that makes it sound a bit primitive and repetitive, but I respect it for what it is. Definitely far from the best he's ever made, but it's a cool idea and it's got some neat tracks! Especially Analord 10. Mmm, Analord 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's aphex twin! it's rubbish! :) yes you do expect something special from him... and why not??? but this is not special, nor is it even enjoyable. no, it's crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I totally agree, it's working within limits and trying to get the best out of it. It's obviously not going to be as technical as digitally overprogrammed goodness(drukqs), but it's certainly not bas and it has that classic aphex feel over it. Mmmmm, Analord! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not bad* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, you're both right, I do agree. I don't want to go down the fundamentalist pro/anti Analord path as it goes nowhere, I'm just trying to work out, you know, maybe what it is I like and what I'm not that impressed with RE Analord. Bottom line IMO: a few very good tracks, a few more not so. It's hard not to treat them as a bit more significant than any normal "dance" record as it is RDJ and there are 11 of the fuckers in quick succesion. Maybe for me it'll all become clear in time when they've filtered down. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Technically, it can't compare to records like Drukqs/Come to Daddy/RDJ/HAB/blahblah, but like impakt is saying, I guess the concept is about exploiting the fact that you're confined, equipment-wise. Of course, it might just be that he's gone with "Fuck off, I'm using old gear to make some really primitive music! THEN I'LL MAKE THE RELEASES LIMITED AND EXPENSIVE AND BOUND IN LEATHER SURGICALLY REMOVED FROM MY PENIS TO PISS XLTRONIC POSTERS OFF AND READ THEIR NAGGING ON THE INTERNET!" But anyway, it's a fun experiment! Too bad he didn't just cut the fat and release a compilation at once. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Even 'leakage is right though as well, it's just not, to me, enjoyable. It's all a bit... academic. There's no "Come on you cunts...", it's all quite muted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's a good point, it's mostly quite muted music. But some of the tracks have that primal AFX energy too them, I think. Fenix Funk 5, XMD5A, Lisbon Acid, Klop Job, Steppingfilter 101 and a few others have that charm I've been longing to hear since Drukqs. ESPECIALLY ANALORD 10 OH I LOVE YOU SO *ejaculation* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But surely RDJ was "confined" in the early days. And then struggling against the limitations of the equipment, like all good pioneers made discoveries into uncharted music waters. Artificially limiting yourself..., it can't work the same I don't think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, but I guess analogue gear has a specific quality that he finds charming or something... Maybe that's why the releases are so limited, maybe it's like an analogue hardware-fan circlejerk. Oh well, it's still interesting music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is interesting, I do agree, and I'm keen to see, and I know this sounds vile, where he goes next. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I share mostly the same views as staz when it comes to this. But I agree with you dog_belch, where he goes next is always what's interesting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's bollocks. as if people in 1988 weren't restricted but managed to make top tunes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The analord series has some top tunes imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't see it. and i certainly don't HEAR it. i don't hear what's good in any kind of musicality, i refuse to get anal over people's reasons behind liking music but the tunes just don't hold up! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You must have an incredibly high standard then, name us your fav. songs! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
go on then! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm from a different era... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hehe, but still, I want to know(probably some überawesome tunes I've never heard, thats worth checking out) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
honestly i don't understand the appeal of any of them. it's left me rather bewildered. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think some of them have nice "emotional" melodies and a nice droning feel that really soothes me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Walking around downtown with say "pissed up in se1" on my ipod really makes me glad and wanting to dance :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im past recommending tunes ad hock, there seems little point. id much rather let people find their own way around :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I'm always humming the melody and snapping my fingers along to it. |
