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. Its not his best work by any means but it serves to further highlight his individuality and show theres plenty of life in the AFX name yet. --Paul Sullivan
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.
