Template:Album ratings

Analord is a series of eleven 12" vinyl records by the electronic music artist Richard D. James, most of which are released under the alias AFX. The series, released in 2005, marked James's return to primarily analogue equipment following his computer-oriented programming work in the late 1990s. After their release, James "distilled" the 3½-hour, 42-track series into the 10-track compilation album Chosen Lords (2006), effectively his first full-length release since the 2001 album Drukqs.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 24 December 2009 the Rephlex Records website began posting unreleased/bonus tracks for the Analord series in MP3 and WAV digital formats. In all, 21 bonus tracks were added to the series, totalling 62 tracks for a runtime of four hours and 36 minutes.<ref>Analord, www.discogs.com, Retrieved 2015-07-11</ref>

HistoryEdit

The first installment, Analord 10, went on sale through the Rephlex Records website on 15 December 2004, and was packaged in a faux-leather binder with sleeves for housing the rest of the series. It was later re-released as a picture disc. Both pressings of Analord 10 were marketed under James' primary alias Aphex Twin, although other Analord recordings were released under the AFX pseudonym.<ref>Aphex Twin Interview, www.clashmusic.com, Retrieved 2015-07-11</ref><ref>A beginner's guide to the many sounds of Aphex Twin, www.avclub.com, Retrieved 2015-07-11</ref>

A condensed, album-length version of the series, Chosen Lords, was released in 2006.

Musical equipment usedEdit

James has programmed a variety of analogue equipment throughout his career. Instruments on Analord include drum machines such as the Roland TR-606, TR-808, and TR-909; sequencers such as the Roland MC-4; and various synthesizers and polysynths, including the Roland SH-101 and Roland TB-303, a Synton Fenix Modular.Template:Citation needed

The images on both sides of Analord 11 feature the Michael Faraday Memorial in Elephant and Castle, London (which is near the disused bank Richard D. James owns).
Both sides of Analord 1 feature the Roland MC-4 Microcomposer as the label art.
Side B of "Analord 4" has a Halibut's eye as the label art, connecting with the track "Halibut Acid".
