this thread = fav + |

you'll go into the books of guinness for the most intresting analord thread ever made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what made it so good is that people who aren't hyped about afx as much as some of us, didn't get into those silly afx vs ae (eventhough we were teasing them hehe) debates but actually stated their honest opinion on the music itself :) |

dude, specializing in artificial intelligence!! Man, GEB is definately for you. Although you might find some of the things in it elementary. I just finished high school, and plan on doing computer engineering at university (I wanted to do software engineering, but I dont think Ill get in, I might be able to transfer). I've written about 8 hours of electronic music. None I would really consider worthy of a public audience. But I've just used fruityloops and reason, which I'm now proving to be pretty adept at. I want to learn to use Max/MSP, I'm pretty familiar with C, and C#, I'd really like to be able to write my own synthesizers and the like, but Its hard to keep myself working on any one project for extended periods of time, I lose interest after a while. Apart from computer programming, I think I am getting pretty good at drum programming... i just need to get some really nice samples. |

This is the most I've ever posted in any one thread... so yeah, I agree, best thread ever. |

yeah I'm studying CS at a pretty good school, it's fucking awesome =) I actually enjoy my math classes more but that's because I came here with lots of experience programming.. it'll catch up soon. 8 hours is a lot! When I do write my lame synthesizer, it's not going to know anything about anything: waveforms, pitch systems, whatever. All it will know is how to send bits to the audio device. Anyway I'll fuck with it a lot, it'll probably always sound shitty. I also have trouble working on a program in my free time for an extended period, but hopefully this will go well.. who knows. (on your next post) yeah I rarely see you here, nice chattin' with ya |

I read a lot of stuff here, and I've been coming for quite a while. I just generally stay silent. I've had a look at writing synthesizers before, there are some nice sites out there. 8 hours is a fair bit... I've been making music for a year now. But.. still.. I'd prefer 2 hours of great music, rather than 8 hours of crap to kinda good music. But we can't all be as dedicated as RDJ. Are you a squarepusher fan? |

not really, but I haven't heard much. I tried to lilsten to ultravisitor but that cheering shit drives me up the wall. I'll grab one of his big albums one of these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm a fan of his albums: Hard Normal Daddy and Feed me weird things. More recently I got into burning'n tree... but thats more for the insane drums, which you can either love, or they can drive you insane. I think the song Male Pill Part 13 from Hard Normal Daddy is awesome. |

sneakattack, I don't know if aphex is a Brahms fan, but I do know he likes Les Baxter. You should check him out. The piano sounds more like him than classical. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait, so you're saying that no matter what, there will be people who don't like his new release, and people who do? You don't say... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, how you've changed in the past months.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh I wasn't implying aphex listens to brahms, it was just a sort of generic *invoke classical god* statement. I simply really ended up thinking of classical music while analyzing xmd5a. I've never heard of Les Baxter, thanks for the tip! I'll look that up.. intereesstitnngngngggg |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohh man, i cant believe i missed this one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i only just realized that now :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my opinion: right now I am hiper jealous cos I didnt buy the analord 10 I will buy all the rest from now on can I order 1 and 2 now? 10 was ok. 2 nice tracks... not mindblowing average for aphex but excellent comapred to anything else I would like to have spent those 40 pounds if I had had the money |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, they said the analord 10 will be available in normal vinyl as well...personally i don't think it's going to be much of a difference in quality, unless you have best hi fi system..that binder (in case you really want it) could be a problem though.. |
||||||||

you guys go and have a great debate and i was,...hmmm let me see what was i doing at 2130-2200 last night, hmmm i was putting my kids to bed, cant you guys have a similar debate when im around - i seem to get all of the spam or crap threads. |

What do you mean? I haven't been on here as much in the past few months, but what happened to me? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never want to see the words aphex and pop in the same sentance again. shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i don't have a problem with that really. he is the most pop in electronica scene as far as i am concerned :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o.k u win I can't be arsed to disagree |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no I do actually agree. I just hate pop so much |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love pop... above all aphex twin and britney spears |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex will pop yor sox off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aphex isn't pp but he does have the most commercial appeal of anyone in the so called "intelligent" branch of electronic music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really think he is pop sometimes, look at windowlicker, come to daddy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case he's really god pop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you seem generally mean and grumpy; more irritable and less humorous =( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's my analysis that he has by far the best intellect.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhm. RDJ is an artist and probably does not give a shit what other people think about his music. He publishes it because he need to eat and live. It is what it is - an art, a statement, a whole fkcuing new world. Made of electronica, classical structures, commercial marriages, ambient holes etc... and al things we cannot name. It is not possible to please everyone, but it is not, and should not be, any artist's way of thinking. :) analord is an amazing world, ,I am starting to feel lost in it. Beautifully lost. :) |

Yeh I'm still having trouble with this pop label. My new label is AIDM (accessible intelligent dance music) |

"It is not possible to please everyone" but why?? |

|

<3 hahah! |

ive never really felt the need to analyse an rdj record more than analord, there are definate classical undertones even to the 'untrained' ear i reckon. although this would be enjoyable and i wish i knew more about making music, i feel there is a point where it can be technically brilliant but sound shit (a lot of vsnare imo). i played analord to my gf and she quite liked parts of the songs, hated the piano - it sounded shit apparantly, and then claimed her bro used to make stuff like that. i couldnt be bothered explaining you know? how frustrating and delightful afx is! |
||||||||

|
why isn't there a photo available for me yet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that surprises me really, i'd honestly think that piano part would be the most likeable part for the people not familiar with aphex. so beautifully packed in..ohh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe on its own ala drukqs but it does kinda sound like its not meant to be there at the begininning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but y'know she is a gurl. although she quite likes alberto balsalm, and on, oh and quino phec a little bit. think thats it though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's pretty much the beauty of richard's music. it sounds like it's not meant to be there but it sounds perfectly. i got that same feeling first time throgh, but i got this really fuzzy feeling in my head second time around :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, since its girls we're talking about here that is a big effort.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea, i couldnt agree more, it gets better with every listen, and the piano is a lovely addition to the non-linearity. i cant stop playing analord 10 on repeat. only broken now and again by efforts from the board. :) just another note though, i really think rdj can be repetitive, e.g. fingerbib takes forever to kick in, i know it adds to it but it seems a bit too long. same with acrid avid jam shred a little bit, and many other times. its normally deliberarte or sounds nice or is tweaked a little, but still a tiny bit repetitive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that at the time SAW II was pretty abstract |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes ofcourse, there are also plenty of his songs that don't appeal to me, and plenty that aren't perfect, but these two analord ones are just perfect for my ears :) mrgypsum, well, i guess almost all ambient is abstract when compared to non ambient stuff :) but since there wasn't many ambient electronica albums at that time i can imagine it must have sounded quite abstract yeah.. |

THEY YOUR PUNY PARADOX IS BROKEN! |
