Analord - Sadness?

to quote the warp email of Chosen Lords...

AFX / Chosen Lords / Rephlex


Sounding amazing in this sequenced order, Rephlex bring on
the highlights from the Analord series. Even if you bought
the vinyls this is still worth having as ordered like this
everything locks into place and makes perfect sense. From
track to track you get to appreciate the incredible quality
and depth of the music that's come from these self imposed
limitations, the strange and unusual sense of sadness that
was present makes itself even clearer. This music is unlike
anything Richard has ever done before but it still manages
to achieve the feat of not sounding like anyone else could
have made it.

Did i miss something?

I think a some of the tracks has melancholic qualities, but
I wouldn't say that "strange and unusual sense of sadness"
is what's typical to the anuslords, no

well, the ending of "Crying in your face" for example has
something profound in it, but I wouldn't go to far with the
searching/interpretations...

Yeah, some bits are a bit melancholy, but I wouldn't say
sad.

i wouldnt call it sad or melancholy, some of it just really
slows you down, in that state i guess you could dwell on
sadness or depresison. the downer tracks make me feel like a
sloth sitting around doing nothing, forever.

i think the strange and unusual sense of sadness they speak
of is more symbolic than melodic. richard, for several
years, was dedicated to a laptop-driven sound, and this new
shift is an abandonment of what many more recent fans (the
Come-to-Daddy and Windowlicker converts) have come to know
him for. It is a dramatic change for him, so it's more of a
nostalgic sadness, a return to his youth, rather than a
tear-jerking melody.

heads up buddy,

I think their is a certain sense of melancholy in much of
his work. And in Analord 11, but that isn't on the album (I
think)

I never get warp emails for some reason despite having
signed up twice

ive always thought that this melancholic touch (that special
feeling, like a warm childish sadness) in melodies ( and
beats) was the real distinctive aphex style... (im having
troubles with the sentence so fuck off)

Yeah. Some of the melodies in the others are slightly
melancholy.
