Press comments & Reviews

-Analord 10 is one of the most intriguing Aphex Twin releases. Released in a limited run and only available to order directly from rephlex, it nonetheless managed to generate huge hype, especially from the internet community.
Apparently recorded and produced using old skool analogue equiptment, I was expecting something that sounds similar to vintage Aphex such as Heliosphan or Polynomial-C. Instead, we have 2 tracks which are quite unlike anything Richard has produced before.
"Fenixfunk 5" is the more uptempo of the two tracks, and combines an electro/hip-hop style break, and a full workout of the vintage synths Richard has collected over the years. It actually kinda reminds me of "Camelot Jostle" by Ceephax Acid Crew, especially the main melody.
"Xmd5a" is less immediate, though ultimately the most successful of the two for me. It combines a slow breakbeat, a wicked acid line, and a strangely disjointed piano (which sounds like the same one he used for Drukqs). Initially quite hard to get into, it nonetheless has proven to be a bit of a grower for me.

-To be fair, considering the massive hype surrounding this release, it was always going to be difficult to match expectations. The melodies are certainly not as memorable as the classic aphex tracks I mentioned previously, but then that particular era of music is over. A masterpiece it isn't, but analord 10 remains one of the better releases from RDJ, and proves that he is still able to produce interesting, innovative music, regardless of the equiptment he chooses to use.

-I've notice, reading the comments in the discogs forum about this release, that probably i'm the only one that i really love this release. Perfect sound, lush melodies,typical acid basslines, right beat. Old stuff? I'd like to have tons of theese "old stuff".

-This really is an amazing record. really shows how forward thinking RDJ is. fenix funk is really powerful and beautiful makes me cry almost everytime. xmd is dark brooding and very unique in a style only aphex could do. Has some Fx that I have never heard before very psychoacoustic in places, A brilliant pressing on this high quality vinyl which I think was a good move as its probably one of the best produced records I`ve ever heard.
