With its classic aphex twin sound structures and classic cylob sound elements, it comes close that these two artists created this wonderful tripple 12" release. It catches a lot of the strangeness of previous cylob releases combining it with the epic synths from past aphex releases.
Every track is different and there are no fillers to be found.
It runs at 45 rpm providing excellent sound quality.
As a whole it is a timeless release that will sound just as great in many years.

Rushup Edge absolutely blows everything else released in 2007 out of the water. After Analord, which was uneven and a bit of a departure from the old breaky stuff, I wasn't sure whether Richard D James would be able to pull it back - but he has, and how. Even though it only has six tracks, each one is incredible, without a single thing out of place. Every track has been tweaked to perfection - if anything, this is the sound of an electronic musician at the very top of his game.

This is absolutely fantastic. You spend years listening to decent electronic music, and then something like this comes along and you demand more from everyone else. To my ears, there is no doubt this is Richard James, but who knows. All the trademark Aphex-isms are there: immaculate structuring and production, great melodies, and innovative synth work. It's hard to describe what it sounds like, but isn't that why we all love Aphex? This record takes elements for every album he's ever done and mixes it all up into a potent sonic stew. Even if this isn't Aphex Twin, I highly recommend this to anyone!

The Tuss is an electronic music group supposedly consisting of Cornish musicians Brian and Karen Tregaskin, although rumors are circulating that The Tuss is a pseudonym of Aphex Twin or a collaboration featuring him.The usage of a Yamaha GX1, an exceptionally rare and expensive (even at the time of release) analogue synthesizer also seems to suggest that Brian and/or Karen Tregaskin is Aphex Twin, as he is one of the few owners of such a synthesizer in the United Kingdom

What a brilliant piece of music! For me the best thing released in last year.

Brilliant drum programming, creating a real special atmosphere. With for me Rushup i Bank 12 and Synthacon 9 as the most outstanding tracks. At the first listen I was overwhelmed by the quality of the beats, and the mindbending Gx1 riffs (Mr James' favourite...) which have had to be created by an extremely talented musician.

If you like IDM or just very good music a bit left of the centre, you won't be disappointed.

I'm not sure how to place this album contextually. It harks to traditional electronic motifs but doesn't stay there long.

It reminds me of Drukqs in this way. It's that schizophrenic but it's not glitch. It uses glitch elements strategically to provide contrast to those sections which would otherwise become repetitive. It is masterfully crafted.

The instrumentation seem to confirm the uprising popularity of old synth technology. Those who use this technology proclaim a superiority over the digital simulation of it and I tend to agree.

I find the hype around its true author/s entertaining and interesting. False answers to mundane questions are always so much better.

I have an insatiable demand for this type of music and so infrequently is it met. More of this music please!

I think this release is over rated, not because of the music, but because of the hype that has been built up around it. If this truly is AFX then I am disappointed. It is pretty decent, but not what I expected from a new RDJ release. It's been done, and been done better, Ceephax amongst others. The track Death Fuck really makes me mad though, How much glitchy fuckery can we really get? didn't we have enough with Drukqs? I'm killing for those old classic RDJ melodies he made from his array of synths. The Analord series wet my whistle but it wasn't enough. Don't get me completely wrong, some tracks are good.

The standout to me is Rushup I Bank 12. This is a beautiful track, maybe as good as any RDJ track in the last 7 or 8 years. It combines the digital sound he perfected in Drukqs and the RDJ album with the core melodies of the Analord releases. A real Winner. The first two(Synthacon 9,Rushup 10 ) are decent/good. The last one is chill, pretty patented Analord stuff. The only curio on here may be Shiz Ko E. The main synth line is absolutely gorgeous. I love it. It makes me think of old 70's cop shows. Unfortunately, it's very short.

In the end when I Reassess the album and all of it's good points I have to remind myself, it's all been done. I keep telling myself, I could of swore I already heard this or that somewhere else, and it's because I have! Buy it if you’re an RDJ fan but if not, just stick to Ceephax or Luke Vibert. It will give you some good tunes for the rotation, but it won't last longer than a week or so.

Well, I don't care who made this, as much as I wonder how well this was made. Rushup Edge is a great recording in every sense of the word. All elements are accounted for...Drums, synths, atmospheres, and arrangement (which is exactly what I like!!). This album is a journey through just about every braindace rhythm, with beautiful synth work to match...just listen to the swaying dashes of synth collide with the bubbly basslines...it's magnificent. Not much I'd like to say other than, this is one of the best recordings for Rephlex this year...and that's saying something considering Ceephax, Aleksi Perälä and Dopplereffekt. Recommended!!!
