Where's Your Girlfriend? is a very strong hard-acid synth tune that would rock on the dancefloor. I feel like I've heard this track before... is it possible that Michael Mayer played it when I saw him a couple of nights ago?

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 28 January 2005 03:21 (nineteen years ago) link

can anyone put this up for d/l? or email it to me?

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Friday, 28 January 2005 03:33 (nineteen years ago) link

I'll email it to you if you want firstworldman.

I'm loving this, especially the last minute or so of Fenix Funk 5, which has me dancing about the room like an absolute ponce.

― Patrick Allan (adr), Friday, 28 January 2005 03:44 (nineteen years ago) link

thank you very much, patrick... the email address i use here works splendidly. really appreciate it... i have a lot of random stuff too, i'll send you something back.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Friday, 28 January 2005 03:45 (nineteen years ago) link

unless there's something specific you're looking for. in which case, if i've got it, i'll send it.

― firstworldman (firstworldman), Friday, 28 January 2005 03:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Terrible harmonies and textures. Hodge-podge of styles that just sounds bad to me. Seems like he's just goofing around. Or being a jerk. You can tell his music isn't informed by much other music.

― Salvador Saca (Mr. Xolotl), Friday, 28 January 2005 04:29 (nineteen years ago) link

What a miracle, I agree with Bruner. Yeah. He hasn't evolved. He's stuck in 1996.

― Salvador Saca (Mr. Xolotl), Friday, 28 January 2005 04:30 (nineteen years ago) link

so then what are the fake analord 10 files going around? are they actual afx tracks or is it someone else?

― Lingbertt, Friday, 28 January 2005 11:25 (nineteen years ago) link

They're not anything that RJD has released before. Just really simple 4x4 stuff, droneish synths, etc etc. Really simple, little variation, polished-sounding but not impressive.

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 28 January 2005 11:40 (nineteen years ago) link

yeah, it wasn't mind-blowing, but still better than Smojphace.

― Lingbertt, Friday, 28 January 2005 11:49 (nineteen years ago) link

I imagine when it's revealed who it really was they'll get a load of decent publicity. Just a shame it wasn't something a bit more exciting.

Has there ever been a fake album leak which was widely considered better than the original?

― Andrew (enneff), Friday, 28 January 2005 11:50 (nineteen years ago) link

i heard bits of 1 + 2 and like it. i think he's good at this style, regressive or not. the whole must-be-cutting-edge argument is tired idm nerd shit. "bwoon dub" and "phonatacid" kick ass-s-s

― eman (eman), Friday, 28 January 2005 13:40 (nineteen years ago) link

these tracks are awesome, i dont care what anyone says. and so much better than the fakes (which i didn't dislike).

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Friday, 28 January 2005 15:27 (nineteen years ago) link

Can someone email me these trax too?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Friday, 28 January 2005 21:42 (nineteen years ago) link

is "Laricheard" only 2.15 long or have i only got a snippet of it? i love the track.

if you are bolding the one good track from those two eps that is.

― harshaw (jube), Sunday, 6 February 2005 17:33 (nineteen years ago) link

uh no it was a response to jed.

― eman (eman), Sunday, 6 February 2005 18:02 (nineteen years ago) link

thanks eman - its a lovely tribute to mr fingers' "can you feel it?" but i wish it was 4 times as long as it is.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 6 February 2005 19:50 (nineteen years ago) link

wait, so are these those 2 12-inch EPs that went out 2 weeks ago? how come they don't say "aphex twin" on them? does he have a different name now? how the fuck is anybody supposed to know who made them? anyway, i like the first one, the more acid house like one, where he calls himself "microcomputer." the second one was way more boring.

― chuck, Tuesday, 8 February 2005 18:29 (nineteen years ago) link

they don't say "aphex twin" because that's locked down by warp/sire. the rephlex stuff is usually under "afx."

― eman (eman), Tuesday, 8 February 2005 19:06 (nineteen years ago) link

these are amazingly good, but why oh why do they not come with sleeves?! and yeah, they sound kind of retro (which incidentally may be the point), but they are damn near perfect for february.

Which of the 11 records now out should I buy?

― Lukas (lukas), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Please, this is important. At least tell me what not to buy. I have the Forced Exposure site open and the idea of eleven slabs of afx vinyl living next to my record player is incredibly seductive.

― Lukas (lukas), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:29 (eighteen years ago) link

You will receive email confirmation of your order shortly.

― Lukas (lukas), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:42 (eighteen years ago) link

answer: none of them!!

is it too late to cancel your order??

― vahid (vahid), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Are all of these going to be compiled on a CD one day? If so, is it worth buying that CD?

― donut ferry (donut), Monday, 15 August 2005 23:59 (eighteen years ago) link

some of the analord stuff is pretty cool but the idea of anybody shelling out for it is just ... wow, mindblowing.

i think the last music i bought in this vein were those astrobotnia EPs ... paying for this sort of thing is like paying for "new weird america" hippie psych folk freakout collective music.

there's just so so so much of this "boomkat dance music" floating around in mp3, 7", limited, weird format, CDR, collaboration ... it's like they're want us to stop giving a shit ...

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:01 (eighteen years ago) link

The price it would cost to get all of those Analord 12"s, I realized, is just under the same price I paid for the AC/DC vinyl remasters box set (15 albums at 180-grams each, with full liner notes, etc.) I like both AFX and AC/DC, but the comparitive worth.. I mean, holy shit.

― donut ferry (donut), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:09 (eighteen years ago) link

my guess is that the afx stuff stands head and shoulders above the other "boomkat dance music" (i'm not exactly sure what the term means, idm and post-idm techno? that's pretty broad. i don't shop at boomkat, but i do browse that site occasionally -- also i suppose if you buy an afx record you know exactly what you are getting) i bought the first two of this series and still listen to them, but i haven't kept up it because there is simply too much other good stuff coming out. the idea of having all of these on vinyl is seductive and the tunes belong on vinyl, but yeah i guess it'd be overkill...i think it would be in rephlex's best interest to release a cd comp and i would definitely check it out.

― tricky (disco stu), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:27 (eighteen years ago) link

"think it would be in rephlex's best interest to release a cd comp and i would definitely check it out."

OTM. all the best tracks from the series on one cd would be great!

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:41 (eighteen years ago) link

"boomkat dance" = all of those artists on planet mu and rephlex and other IDM labels who have suddenly developed this interest in back-to-old-skool dance techniques and who like to pretend that suddenly it is their job to save mainstream dance from itself, even though it is IDM and not mainstream dance that is staler-than-stale.

(i feel like i've made this argument so many times that it's verging on shtick)

― vahid (vahid), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Last I heard (which was several months ago- Rephlex almost never update their site, and when they do they tend to wipe out large sections of it) there would be a CD compilation "eventually" and it would of course leave out quite a few tracks (both to fit it all on one CD and to please the vinyl elitist collector scum).

― Telephonething (Telephonething), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 00:58 (eighteen years ago) link

If I can find the time I'll do a Back to Mine: Analord and whittle it all down to 60 minutes or so. (Though something tells me this has been done by at least 140 other people on other boards/lists.)

He should've released each track on one-sided 12".

Just wait until every Analord track is remixed by every alias on Ai.

― Andy_K (Andy_K), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 01:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, it was a dumb move. 41 tracks, $100. No, I don't usually spend that much on a whim. Yes, I know idm has sucked for a long time now. But I recently re-discovered my love for afx and I ... I need to drink less coffee.

― Lukas (lukas), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 03:42 (eighteen years ago) link

That's fine. Some people pay more than $100 for a single CD that's highly out of print. And I don't think that's even particularly insane (even though I probably should.)

― donut ferry (donut), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 06:00 (eighteen years ago) link

OK, time to get excited again!

Analord has some surprising champions.

If one believes Internet fanboys, #9 is storming futuristic acid unlike anything you've heard. Retro? Nein!

Or, it's a pale shadow of AB3. We'll see.

― Lukas (lukas), Tuesday, 16 August 2005 17:41 (eighteen years ago) link

"i think the last music i bought in this vein were those astrobotnia EPs ... paying for this sort of thing is like paying for "new weird america" hippie psych folk freakout collective music."

Amen. That said, one of my favorite pieces of electronic music is "Acidophilus" off of pt. 1.

― ugly and mean, Tuesday, 16 August 2005 22:02 (eighteen years ago) link

Wikipedia says there's a fake version of #9 out there. Somehow, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the version said Internet fanboys are drooling over.

That said, I like a lot of the tracks, particularly on the earlier discs, but the inevitable comp will probably suit most ppl just fine in the end.

the fake version of #9 is the one with 9 tracks.
the real one only has 4.

For someone who at one point was the biggest fanboy of this dude, I have neither really checked out Analord or even know if he's released anything in the last couple of years... There was that Tuss thing he did in about 07 - anything else?

You're not missing much, really.

can't believe i slept on this series for so long. analord 06 is so good

― nautical nooba (rionat), Friday, 5 March 2010 17:09 (fourteen years ago) link

It was always hard to justify buying these records at import prices because they were interesting but not really jacking. It was always easier to cut to the chase and buy used copies of old Detroit and Chicago stuff.

I listened to the Analord Mix Tape when I was running the other day, and it was really good. That being said, it isn't something that I would want to deal with on a 12" level. I would rather just listen to it in an album format and be done with it.

Some of the new tracks are better than ones that made it to record.

It is funny that this thread popped up again. I have listened to the Analord mixtape a few times in the last couple days. It keeps getting better, really nice skewed house music.
