Aphex Twin - Analord 10 - 03-Jul-06 12:34 AM
This series is a detour from the obsession with craft that has dominated electronics for the last five years. The need to validate skill by chopping up the amen break and throwing it around at 190 bpm has created a nuclear arms race that paralyzed and drained the content from a lot of music. Aphex Twin does not go totally retro against this but he pulls more tradition song ideas in a way that is new to electronics and by doing so creates something more meaningful.

The ideas and production on this album are quite polished compared to the earlier albums. It appears they have gotten a better handle on their process and the sound quality really shines because of this. If you have an mp3 copy do your self a favor and pick up the cd as the lossy compression cant do the album justice. They have gotten better at unifying the different aspects of their tracks and the fluidness of these songs allows them to pack a whole lot into a short period without announcing that their doing it. Ipacial Section is a good example on another release this might have been three separate tracks. The journey from point a to point b is more subtle than whats come before but its also a little richer.
