favourite analord tracks

You say that like repetitive is a bad thing. Come on, I'm a Spacemen 3 fan. I live for the repetitive beats.

Ah, used to chill out to Dreamweapon: An Evening of Contemporary Sitar Music waaaay back. Love that CD. Rare as hens teeth.

I love analord, there is so much great music. I like the tracks that are more like songs than meandering analog journeys, but I really enjoy it all basically. Fenix Funk is scary good though

ahh but you are making assumptions. repetition can be used to produce mental results. Also sometimes repetition isn't repetition once it enters your ears and your brain "hears" it.

yeah to me mydoom is one of the most mental tracks in the series. One might tie that in with my previous statement if they want.

Is it? Sheeeit, I've got about 3 copies of it. I used to love the vinyl because it played from out in on one side and from the inner groove out on the other. Used to confuse the hell out of my record player.

Look, what I mean about repetition is the way that repetition can build up incredibly complex patterns from fairly simple components overlapping and interlocking in highly complex ways. Which is a hallmark both of a lot of Richard's work - and also, for example, the australian aboriginal art that many Primitivist painters were inspired by. Sorry, I'm a painter, I use metaphors in a very visual sense. But to me, the Analords are pretty much the musical equivalent of something like this:

very minimal, very repetitive, very abstract, and yet HIGHLY complex and of course incredibly beautiful.

To Quote Florian Schneider - "ALL" -

it's probably already been mentioned here a million times, but the ending of Fenix Funk 5 is just so fucking amazing.

i really need this on 180gm vinyl

anybody else not like In The Maze Park very much? I mean it's good but it tugs at the emotions too cheaply for me, it's not his style

yeah I see what you mean, I like it too though, but don't really think it sounds like his sort of style either
