I actually said to aphex, give them the flow coma treatment.
So it's in his brain now. Maybe he will. (he was pretending
to be his wife on the mu forum)

im karek asking analord (rich) to remix analord

This was about a month ago. Rich also talked about analogue
equipment in the 303 emulation thread here:

telling an artist to remix their work cos you're not
satisfied with it is rather offensive. don't do that again.

the analords don't fucking need remixing. they're great as
they are. if they would be all like flow coma remix they
wouldn't be as nice listening to. it's what he intended them
to be like, respect it.

yeah, stop being a nazi. Remixing, as richard has said
himself, is like making a whole new track. Doesn't steal
away from the original. Plus, aphex remixes are completely
different animals. Don't tell me to not do that again, ever
again. fuck face!

you were being annoying. i was just giving a good advice,
well in some cases you have to TELL people what to do and
what not to do. like the goverment preventing people to
murder and rape eachothers and putting cats in microwave
ovens.

what would happen if people weren't restrained and were
allowed to do anything?

"i'm RAPING AND MURDERING CHILDREN. HAHA ITS FUN"

goverment: "that's like you opinion man. we're cool with
dat"

if you just had a baby girl with a girlfriend. and someone
said "she's ugly. you should send her to plastic surgery to
reconstruct her monstrous face "

you wouldn't like that would you?

and wouldn't it make sense telling this mentally disturbed
"someone" not to do say things like that?

i mean ok, it's nothing wrong asking him that. but these
tracks have just been released. to me it seems kinda odd
asking them to be remixed so soon.

I don't know. I guess, since windowlicker's demo sounded so
simple (but good), and the rinsing he put on that was
excellent. Fresh, new, and most of all, different..And
knowing his love of concepts and the musical history of
techno. I don't know. It was just suggestion, but I thought
cut up remix style stuff would be a cool addition. That's
all. Of course I was being annoying. I was a fan boy with a
big secret, but who cares, he enjoyed it. He says some
really interesting stuff in the 303 thread, too.

imo analord is really good - so far i have liked analord 1
the best, i really like older afx and its way different than
the faster style of music hes been doing lately - the more
you listen to the analords you can tell that he did put a
lot of work into them, and they are more complex than at
first listen. they sound minimal and dated, but to me they
sound great.

i never thought i would be into them - the idea of him doing
a quasi retro series was well sounded dull, but the music is
top notch.

well he might have wrote them forever ago, but you cant tell
me that he had some tracks from back in the day, and
released them, AS IS, as anal 1 or 2....etc he at least
remixed them - there is no way he just took some old
produces tracks and put them out.

they aren't old. vibert said in 2004 that richard had been
completely analogue for about a year. ofcourse you're going
to hear a little resemblance of his older stuff because it
was also done on analogue gear.

and like mrgypsum said, they don't sound old.

Analord 2 is absolutely awesome. Takes me right back to when
I first heard SAW or Surfing on Sine Waves all those years
ago. Somehow manages to combine the style of those two
albums with some really Larry Heard-like late-80s acid house
stylings. Love the way Phonatacid eventually breaks down
into what sounds like Larry Heard's "Washing Machine" track.
It is a very chilled out release, Analord 2. Extremely
pleasing to the ear.

that 303 thread is such interesting reading; to hear the
master teaching his disciples so to speak. he has an
incrdible amount of knowledge and to be honest, hearing some
of the complexities of analog recording etc just makes me
appreciate how amazing the analords actually are.

I'll post here for you lot, great stuff...

Author: analord
Date: 02-07-05 03:14

some people bought the analogue equipment when it was
unfashionable and very cheap though.
some of us are over 30 you know!
anyone remember when 303`s were £50? and coke was 16p a
tin? crisps 5p

also you have overlooked A LOT of other points because its
not all about the overall frequency response of the
recording system its how the sound gets there in the first
place.
here are some things which you can`t get from a plugin,they
are often emulated but due to their hugely complex nature
are always pretty crass aproximations..

the sound of analogue equpiment including EQ, changes very
noticably over even a few hours due to temperature changes
within a circuit.
Anyone who has tried to make tracs on a few analogue synths
and make them stay in tune can tell you this,you leave a
trac running for a few hours come back and think Im sure I
didnt fucking write that,I must be going mental!

this affects all the components in a synth/EQ in an almost
infinte amount of tiny ways.
and the amount differs from circuit to circuit depending on
the design.

the interaction of different channels and their respective
signals with an analogue mixer are very
complex,EQ,dynamics....
any fx, analogue or digital that are plugged into it all
have their own special complex characteristics and all
interact with each other differently and change depending on
their routing.
Nobody that ive heard of has even begun to start emulating
analogue mixer circuitry in software,just the aesthetics,it
will come but im sure it will be a crap half hearted effort
like most pretend synth plugins are.
they should be called PST synths, P for pretend not
virtual.

Every piece of outboard gear has its own sound
,reverbs,modulation effects etc
real room reverb, this in itself companies have spent
decades trying to emulate and not even got close in my
opinion, even the best attempts like Quantec and EMT only
scratch the surface.

analogue EQ is currently

impossible in theory to be emulated digitally,quite intense
maths shit involed in this if youre really that
interested,you could look it up...good luck.

your soundcard will always make things sound like its come
from THAT soundcard..they ALL impose their different sound
characteristics onto whatever comes out of them they are far
from being totally neutral devices.

all the components of a circuit like resistors and
capacitors subtley differ from each other depending on their
quality but even the most high quality milatary spec ones
are never EXACTLY the same.

no two analogue synths can ever be built exactly the
same,there are tiny human/automated errors in building the
circuits,tweaking the trimpots for example which is usually
done manually in a lot of analogue shit.
just compare the sound of 2 808 drum machines next to each
other and you will see what I mean,you always thought an 808
was an 808 right?
same goes for 303`s they all sound subltey
different,different voltage scaling of the oscillator is
usually quite noticable.

VST plugins are restricted by a finite number of
calculations per second these factors are WAY beyond their
CURRENT capability.

Then there is the question of the physicallity of the
instrument this affects the way a human will emotionally
interact with it and therfore affect what they will actually
do with it! often overlooked from the maths heads,this is
probably the biggest factor I think.
for example the smell of analogue stuff as well as the look
of it puts you in a certain mental state which is very
different from looking at a computer screen.

then there is analogue tape...ah this really could go on
forever....

im quite drunk cant be bothered to type anymore...
so yeah,whatever, you obviously dont have to have analogue
equipment to make `good` music in case thats the impression
im giving,EVERYTHING has its uses .And not all anlaogue
equipment is expensive you can still get bargains like old
high end military audio devices,tape machines fx etc just go
for the un

"...the Analords have hit the spot perfectly in what I
wanted."

Taken out of context, that is hilarious.

My opinion:

Bwoon Dub and Pissed Up in SE1 are the 2 strongest analord
tracks so far. Both in the top 10 aphex tracks of all time
IMO.
