RDJ has bought a ton of stuff this year from people on the Analogue Heaven mailing list. My mate sold him some Korg MS boxes. Hopefully he's done with software 'bullshit' and is going to make some more good records. |

The good news about this speaks for itself. The bad news, it's only available as 180g Audiophile vinyl, which means that the sound quality should be fantastic, but it will probably also be expensive. And for only two tracks too. It's also packaged in a binder which will also hold future editions of the Analord series. As nice as the idea sounds, it'd be nice to get them all put together on one CD, wouldn't it? The unfortunate thing about Aphex Twin is that he's gotten quite good at making money lately but he's also talented enough to get away with it. So depending on how much he's looking for for this result (the line "Price: t.b.a." seems like a bad sign to me), I'll probably end up springing for it anyway. Of course there's also a bit of debate over the title "Analord." Despite the fact that it's also the name of a Wagon Christ track, is it a reference to the fact that these tracks may be refined versions of the back catalogue of his old analog work? Or is it... well I'll leave it your imagination. Considering this is Aphex Twin, I'm going to guess that it's a little of both. Indeed! I'd also add that it's nice to see that James is now free to use his beautiful Aphex logo wherever he darned well pleases since freeing himself from his Warp contract. You all know by now how much I got the impression some time ago that James wasn't happy there, so it's best that he does his own thing now. "Analord' does indeed give out a coy suggestion of 'analogue', which I find intriguing. But I don't believe for one minute that James has reverted back to his roots in soldering irons and voltage control. Once you've made the move to software, there's really no going back. |

soldering irons and voltage control more RDJ lies he's never built an effect or synth in his life. |
||||||||
|

|

yeah, what the fuck.. stupid rumors about rdj making his own synths (?...) at the age of 14-16.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe he has, what do we know? |
||||||||

some mag wanted to interview him around the time of ICBYD he got an effects pedal and put it in a cardboard box with the leads coming out the side, and claimed it was a 'custom-built-effect' that's where this nonsense started. |

what about circuit bending? i think you guys are just jealous. yar, stop getting upset and just have some fun with it. as for the vinyl, fawk yeah im buying it. once you hear quality vinyl, you never go back. (drukQs premium qual. for example)... ...the way it was meant to be heard. |

we`ll never know. RDJ is a mistery... |
||||||||

...one of the main reasons everyone is so attracted to him/his music. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I like him cause his music is good. His close friends have claimed his home built stuff is bullshit. |

what is that MP3: AFX 6 bit on that site? is it supposed to be a link? it mentions this wicked mp3 then doesn't have it!! p.s. that photo looks cool, but who cares if he makes his own stuff/ mods stuff or not. its the end result that matters. I think anyone who has done diy wouldnt take it on stage especially with wires hanging out of it, it would be too easy for it to stop working. |

that's what i was thinking. i'd imagine ricky jimjams has done some circuit bending on gear; but definitely not to the level ae have taken it to with their sh101s and whatnot. |

I read a bit about the technique used in your avatar. It's cool, like that old afx microsite. WORD. |

I must admit, when I was younger and really into aphex, the 'makes his own gear' thing made it a little more sweeter. Like every sound I heard was liquid gold from his secial machines. At the time it was thrilling..People on the AH mailing list build stuff all the time and most of their music is awful. Or just sound like unfocused experiments. Richard has been MY Nirvana. He changed everything for me., |

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT HARDWARE HERE BUT: the only ones that truly make "homemade" stuff are the yound chaps from autechre, you can hear it in every sound, now i am not saying that this makes them any the bit better but, they give a unique sound to everyone of their sounds, they take it above the acid, braindance or dnb influence, afx does this too but he puts more influence into the track, for instance this analord stuff, just by name and hype will be analogue, meaning it will have an acid influence, you would never see autechre doing this. |

autechre ciruit bend. They aren't building modulars and stuff.. Just tweaking stuff. |
