"Analord" is a series of 12" vinyl recordings by UK-based electronic music artist Richard D. James. The first installment, "Analord 10", went on sale through the Rephlex Records website on December 15, 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.

There is a condensed, album-length version of the series titled "Chosen Lords".

eries details

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 Synth (seen on the B-side of "Analord 02"), and countless others he has collected over the years or borrowed from colleagues.

"Analord" tracks are similar in atmosphere and melody to James' early acid and ambient techno recordings, yet are still marked by the fast, choppy, multi-layered drum sequencing he has perfected from the "Richard D. James Album" (1996) onward.

Miscellanea

The name refers to the analogue music equipment James used to perform much of "Analord". Since James has a penchant for anagrams, it is noteworthy that "Analord" is an anagram for "A Roland," perhaps referencing the manufacturers of industry standard analogue synthesizers. Analord is also the title of a Luke Vibert track from "Lover's Acid" on Planet Mu.

*The original "Analord 10" released with the binder is loud-cut, 180 gram vinyl.
*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).
*Around the time of "Analord"'s release, Richard James went online and discussed his feelings about analogue equipment and VSTs in general, as well as software emulations of the TB-303, on the Planet Mu website forum. Because no interviews were conducted at the time, it was the only public conversation that James has conducted related to his "Analord" series.
