That's why he released it under AFX.

 

?

 

i think he was more proud of his Analord series than anything else since he kept doing music in the same way ever since,

 

i hear you, Analord was a radical change and not everyone enjoyed it, but to me it was revolutionary,

the eclecticism of this selection, the complex melodies, and the FUCKING SOUND QUALITY !

 

anyway, question of taste but AFX/RDJ whatever doesn't chose his names like this, i mean lol

you obviously don't know the full story

 

Not all Analord is AFX anyway... Analord 10 is Aphex Twin, and those are pretty standout tracks, worth checking out even if you don't like the rest of the series.

It's the 'disinfographic' - the equipment list. Think we'll have to wait for some geek to upload scans of it to see what it says.

Haha, bored, but still creative! I need to create a custom Member Group for Photoshop Experts!

Also, anyone who thinks Analord was anything short of amazing needs to get their head and ears checked. (IMO)

AH HA! But what classifies as thinking Analord is within the parameters of the short end of amazing? Aren't there like 50/60 tracks in total? What if you only like about 10/15, but think those 15 are awesome and the rest are meh? What if your favorite track ever is on analord but you only like like... 5 tracks, or what if you like EVERY single track but they're all only 'good'. Does the total goodness of 50/60 tracks of one person match the amazingness of 15 tracks of another?

Who is God? Why does the end of Neon Genesis Evangelion disappoint me so much? (I finished it and the movie today). Why does my air conditioner work for a week, then I fix something with it, but that only buys another week? Why is there an infinite array of things I need to fix on my fucking air conditioner. I JUST WANT TO BE COOL.... like u guys.

The Analord series is top notch both because it is such a large collection of quality music, and because it contains at least a handful of truly amazing tracks, many great tracks, and very many solid, good tracks -- all of which come out of some serious mastery of analogue equipment that not many (if any) others could come close to pulling off.

wow, haven't been posting on here for ages, so my account got deleted ("griever"), good time to be back :-)!

my thoughts on syro:

well isn't that amazing? have been away for a few days, come home and the first thing i read: "new aphex twin album to come", was so happy i forgot everything else. how many years have there been rumors and speculations, "konklaver" blabla... and again, aphex manages to release something when i'm not expecting it. i really enjoyed his tuss stuff and am glad to see he was developing that style over the last years, now presenting it in form of a 12 (!) track album!!! seriously, i'm listening to those crappy recordings of the manchester, metz and atp tracks on repeat, but they will sound new to me when in good quality, looking forward to hear all the details!

and still there are 7-8 tracks we don't know by now... i'm in greece for one week right before the release, preordering is done. when i come home, i'm going to lock my door, turn off my phone, put on my headphones and let the sound do it's work.

with manchester track as an opener, this can only be good.

Well by that criteria then I think Analord is amazing as Joyrex put it. But another person could be like: You gotta like at least half of it for it to be amazing. Then it's running awfully close for me. I may now need my ears reconfigured if that's the case.

Hey, it's all opinion in the end anyway. Well, actually technical prowess and creativity both have some objective qualities to them (even if not subject to measurement), but whether tracks are great/good in the sense of "this makes me want to punch the air," well, opinion, ya know?

I mean, it's kind of like Kanye... What does everyone here think about Kanye?

More likely flipping sides every 8-12 minutes

60 / 5 = 12.
