 gasp of fresh acid air
Submitted on: 2009-08-12 |

I assume most couldn't afford the hefty prices placed on those twelve inches which compromised the Analord series, to which this compilation serves as a nice representative. I also assume most who downloaded the series in full can choose a multitude of running orders to satisfy one's particular needs, and not necessarily be too disappointed by the "Chosen Lords" on display here.
That said, this was one of the best releases of the year. Where as Autechre go further in the realms of abstractness and humourless detachment in pursuit of sound art. AFX has ultimately reminded us that electronic music needn't be something as dry and disparagingly uncompromising.
What we have here, and is indeed, indicative of the Analord series as a whole, is a collection of fun, positive, quirky, and extremely melodic well composed acid tracks. Whilst not pushing boundaries or using his talents to textural extremities as once before; I think we all know James has absolutely nothing to prove on this score, and by regressing back to his analog equipment further indicates, a renewal that he's less about wanting to baffle, and more concerned with having fun being the general top class composer that he is and in the current climate of Warp/IDM music in general; this is a gasp of fresh acid air. |

 Good Album

| "Best of" selections made by the man Richard D. James himself. the product of a lifetime of groundbreaking work using complicated vintage analog synths. Essential to all electronica collections. i would recommend the whole 11 part series but it's only available in vinyl. |

Love it

| Some of the songs aren't very plausible to dance to if your playing at clubs, but you can get some very nice remixes and it has really given me some inspiration on long nights of new things to try. Really great cd overall. If you like any other Aphex Twin songs it is definitely worth it. I also love it because if you can't get some of his vinyls then this is a decent alternative, at least for me it was. |

A great collection of tunes

| This compilation of tracks taken from the 11-vinyl-Analord series is a fantastic set of acid-influenced tunes and I can honestly say I believe these are the best of Richard James' works now next to The Tuss. Throw Druqks and the Richard D. James album away, this is all you need. 10 catchy, melody driven, acid-line supported tunes backed by classic RDJ complex rhythms. Great. |

| Your everyday Aphex Twin- nothing specific to get excited about, but an overall sound that's indispensable. If any other of his albums give you that special feeling, get this one. |
