So now that we have the release, i'd just like to mention a few points regarding the £39.99 pricetag. Firstly, postage to the UK came to just under £5. Considering this is part of the total price, and that shipping to countries outside the UK will be MUCH more, this brings the price of the release down to £35. I haven't even mentioned the packaging either.... Next, there is the vinyl itself. We all know its 180g/audiophile, and was obviously pressed by people who knew what the hell they were doing. Consider that much lower quality vinyl regularly sells on places such as warpmart/boomkat for about £7.99.... Then there is the binder. To be honest, it surpassed my expectations, and is really rather sexy. It is strong too, and leaves plenty of free space available inside so that once it is complete, the records won't be too cramped. The logo engraving looks the part, and although I have a bit of a reservation regarding the analord typography (I personally would have avoided any type on the front whatsoever, and just kept the logo in the middle), it is truly a fine job. The sleeves inside also have the aphex twin logo embossed onto them. I am not too familiar on binder costs when it comes to producing custom jobs such as this, but it certainly doesn't look cheap.... Then there is the time/effort it took to take in the orders, arrange shipping, deal with our maonings etc... I don't envy rephlex in this regard, but its obvious it was a pretty frustrating, painstaking and time consuming process. I think most people were put off at the initial price of analord 10 (myself included), but when you consider everything I mentioned, and the fact that the music itself is really rather good, I think its worth it. It'd be interesting to see exactly how much profit (if any) rephlex get from analord 10. But for the people who bought it, do you think the price justified the end product? |

did rephlex send you 2 or what? |

£40 for 2 songs? i wouldnt buy it if it was hand delivered by afx himself! Geez louise forty pounds what is the world coming to... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
No, what makes you think that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so, the tracks were not what you expected them to be and price wac big eh ? ah, youre tryin to prove to yourself you didnt loose the money, right ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bah, no point in arguing with them, brisk. don't waste your breath. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually no, i'm suggesting that the price isn't as unreasonable as a lot of people think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lets think of it this way. i bought the druqks cd for £15 and it had 30 tracks on it. analord is £40 and has 2 tracks on it. and druqks was a little disappointing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really ? well, the price doesnt fit according ty my calculations, but maybe all of these things youve said were produced by fiunest craftsmans of the world, yeah, that would explain its several costs. 40 pounds - that a daily payment for some ppl in britain, well, or one 12" with two tracks on it. |

Hyakusen was your mum and dad bad to u when u was a child? |

fuck off twat, youve done yourself pretty god today, stupid blind afx lover that isnt even able to say that his latest work is outdated, wanky-pranky ans cheesy ( just like arpegiator in fl 2.0 ).probably the tracks is from that period, but you will never admit anything bad about aphex, too stupid for this, see ya. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fucking shit, 2 tracks? RDJ can kiss my hairy ass! I've lost interest in his music anyways... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god, could you please stop moaning about the price. you didn't order one, so you did not waste your precious money. so take your money and go wank on it. damn, money is replacable. who cares about 40 pounds. if Analord sucks you can sell it again. no big deal. |

Its fair |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

a guy wins £100 on a scratch card. as he walks home a man runs towards him and knees him in the nuts, then runs away again. the guy stand up and says 'its fair', and keeps walking home. |

|

great analogy. |

|
|

| |||||||||
|

thanks! |

£30 would have been ideal. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
then again i haven't recieved mine yet... Anyone living in the USA got theirs yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope ":( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahahaahhah! that was great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also consider that it's very limited edition so it's gonna sell for a lot more than 40 pounds in a couple of years... even months |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sometimes i think about what you said, brisk, and i think you are right...its not so expensive! ive had paid 40 only for the binder... :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i would have paid...", better? |
||||||||
|
|

you can't take it with you when you die. unless you are a pharoah. |

i hope i see a funeral, open casket, and see someone w/thier analord10 binder, in theri dead sweaty hands, im totally gonna throw a rock the oposite direction to get popeeles attention, and theft the binder out of their hands errrrrrr but im not going to pay $70.00 for it, $40.00 yes but $70.00 thats how much the BAND of BROTHERS, 8 or 9 dvd disk sells for |

It definately sucks for you peepz over the atlantic, what with the current state of your currency. I tend to buy quite a few things from the US now to take advantage of the almost 1:2 pound/dollar conversion. But this is hardly rephlex's fault, and you can't really fault them for selling at a price which is reasonable for people in the UK (and their base of operation heh) Would you guys think $40 is a reasonable cost for it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
congratulations, it only took you 338 words to come up with a justification why 40 quid isn't too much for 2 tracks and a binder. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but if they had priced it 100 quid a pop it would've gone for even more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I think its a little more thoughtful than people who seem to conclude that its a rip-off in only a sentence before evening thinking about the cost/process involved. |

qrter, shut the hell up, brisk rocks !! look at his avatar for christs sake... p.s. rephlex, more or less hates america WE NEED MORE REPHLEX IN AMERICA TOURS |

not really. |

BRISK .. lo :) |

I dislike xm5a. It had great potential but went nowhere, and the main melody was simplistic and annoying. Felix Funk is great. Overall, I think the price is absolutely fucking ridiculous. Sure, they're nice enough tracks-but they're not outstanding or perfect (mind you, no music is really perfect but anyhoo) and they don't warrant that price imho! |

hyasuken do u hounestly beleive that analord is a waste of money, are you retarded. The damn thing is gonna be worth fuck load so i call it an investment- see hangable autobulb. HOWEVER i am never going to sell the fucking thing it's too god damn good. I'll not isult you further. |

i don't care what anyone else buys or doesn't buy. a price for a 12" isn't fair or unfair. you can sell 100 copies for $10, or 10 copies for $100. but i also don't care at all about any binders or anything collectible or cool or whatever at all, i just care about the music. and $80 is too much for any 12", for me personally... if you're happy with your purchase, that's all that matters... |
||||||||

12 months later, I sold two copies of this on ebay, and made over £400 in return. I'd say it was worth it. |

I'd say you are a lifeless idiot. But I don't you apart from your vacuous posts. |

And this comes from a guy with over 6000 more posts than me. Cute. |

i WISH id bought a binder...or 2 ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually i just thought of a good justification it was all u hater cunts on messageboards that put me off buying one "oh its far too expensive,dont bother" ... i cant think for myself your fault u bastards |

The music is average apart from Analord 2 & 10 (the picture disk version of Analord 10 will do). However, I have the full thing. I will buy a second copy of the afformentioned 2 records, then put the thing in storage and sell it on ebay in 10 years time, making a bloody killing in the process. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i wont cause i have my binder, but i would hate you if i was one of the people who didnt get a binder just because people like you could get some money... well, maybe im begining to hate you a bit, yes... please, say something nice, quickly, before i decide to kill you... |

analord 10 was really good. rumour has it that it came from Luke Vibert/Andy Jenkinson and the other analords didn't. |
