do you believe about the analord cd?

"Rephlex Press Release:

Analord is Aphex Twin doing what he does best: refreshing

electronic music in such an exquisite, effortlessly

inventive fashion that you pity his peers. Once again, James

dissolves the boundaries between disco, electro, techno and

pop? and stimulates the parts other musicians don‚t even

know exist. Pure synthesized heaven‰ Uncut

Throughout 2005, and with little fanfare, Richard D. James

released the Analord series of twelve inches under the AFX

moniker on his label Rephlex. In total, 41 tracks were

released over a series of singles ˆ Analord Volumes 1-11 ˆ

all neatly contained in a custom binder, sold direct to fans

via the Rephlex website.

Each record went on to sell into five-figure quantities ˆ on

vinyl format ONLY! The tracks were not available for

download or on CD, making this a considerable sales

achievement. For fans of Aphex Twin, it was an almost

unprecedented bounty of new material in the gap since the

2001 double album, Drukqs, but many people who have

abandoned their turntables will have remained unaware of

this hive of activity.

In April 2006, Rephlex will release Chosen Lords. Rather

than release a triple CD featuring all 41 tracks, AFX

himself has distilled the tunes into a cohesive album, as it

was intended to be heard. Chosen Lords is, in fact, the

first full album of new material from Richard D. James since

Drukqs, and the word of mouth is that the tracks are among

his very best classics.

The style? As with most Richard D. James releases, it's hard

to pin down to any genre. Largely recorded on Richard's

private collection of unique collection of analogue

synthesizers ˆ vintage, modern and home-made, the rhythms,

melodies, harmonies, even some subliminal lyrics have all

evolved directly from the machines. One could say Chosen

Lords is partly-inspired by NY electro, Chicago house and

Detroit techno classics, but the album also stimulates the

kind of Œlucid dreaming‚ atmosphere found on Selected

Ambient Works 85-92."
