Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The lengthy hiatus that followed Richard D James’ 2001 Drukqs album led many to believe the veteran switch-doctor had gone into early retirement. Last years Analord series - forty-one vinyl-only tracks spread over eleven volumes, collected together in a special binder – reinstated his reputation as technologically advanced shaman (of sorts) and stellar purveyor of acid-drenched basslines, floor-slaying electro and bewildering polyrhythms. On Chosen Lords, James brings together the best of that series, reworking and re-sequencing the fibrous strands of electro, acid and techno to create a mesmerizing tapestry rather than a dry collection of individual vignettes. Though the material is new, Chosen Lords sounds like a retrospective of all the various shape-shifting James has tried his hand at over the years. It’s not his best work by any means but it serves to further highlight his individuality and show there’s plenty of life in the AFX name yet. --Paul Sullivan

CD Description
Revered experimental electronica producer Richard D. James,aka Aphex Twin, brings his first CD release of new music since 2001's 'Drukqs' with this album. Here he culls the best tunes from his 2005 11-part 'Analord' 12" series, re-editingand restructuring the tracks to form a cohesive whole. A tribute to old-school acid techno and electro, the music is aimed square at the dancefloor and is leaner and more accessible than much of his other work.

5.0 out of 5 stars His best work?, 17 April 2006
By C. Quinn "totality denier" (County Louth, Eire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I never really thought RDJ lost his way, not even on the much-slagged 'Drukqs'. He's always done what he does better than anyone, but maybe the recordings lost a bit of their bite.

That inimitable analog rush returned full force with the Analord series of EPs, of which 'Chosen Lords' is a selection. The Analords are arguably James's best work, fusing the home-made acid rasp of his earliest singles with all the compositional and programming nous he's accumulated since.

'Chosen Lords' is maybe slightly stingy at 10 tracks -- not even 1 per disc (in fact only 7 of the 11 are represented, although they were all excellent) -- but it's still wonderful music. Don't be at all surprised if 'Chosen Lords 2' comes along fairly soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back to the old school, 30 Dec 2006
By John Doak (Reading, England) - See all my reviews
Chosen Lords - a collection of the limited edition Analord vinyl series - pushes away much of the excess intellectual baggage of previous Aphex Twin discs. Gone are the paraniod mutations which have characterised so much of RDJ's recent work, replaced by a clarity and analog warmth harking back to the first Ambient Works album.

Thats not to say that this is straight forward listening - there is still much to to admire about the dexterity of RDJ's rhythmic and conceptual maneuvers. But what most impresses here is the sheer purity of RDJ's vision, uniting every strand of house, techno, ambient and electronica, consolodating their individual strengths into one indestructible rhythm.

Its worth remembering that this is the artist who was able to deliver us from the mundaneties of dance music's inumerable little genres and blend the whole into a coherent, spectral form back in the late 80's and early 90's and in that context Chosen Lords stands as a reminder of just how unique a sound RDJ has crafted for himself over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Come on lets have some Aphex acid!!!, 4 May 2006
By Mr. C. Jones "cj123" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Chosen lords is the pick of the bunch from the analord series of single eps that Mr James released on vinyl throughout 2005. Chosen Lords, the follow up album to 2001's "Drukqs", sees Aphex return with a more accessable set of tracks. The album on the whole, seems to hark back to the old days of "Selected Ambient Works 84-92" and "I Care Because You Do" with simple floating synth melodies attached to classic jagged, programmed beats. This album is classic Aphex Twin and shows that he is still the king of IDM. Highlights are "Fenix Funk", "Pitcard", "Crying In Your Face", "Klopjob" and "PWSteal LdpinchD."
