his new release is called Chosen Lords and is the selected highlights of a dozen(yes a dozen!) 12" vinyl only EP releases from last year. early contender for album of the year

Are those twelve releases from last year the ones that came in a leather wallet and now sell for exceedingly silly money on eBay?

thats the ones edward. this is a 10 track album which is made up of aphex twins favourite songs from the twelve releases. by the way, not sure about silly money on ebay - go to amazon.co.uk and search for Analord. they are selling them for approx £5 each.

Last year, vitamin-deprived gimps from all over the world rushed like phlegmy lemmings to the Rephlex website because they felt a tell-tale ache in their pockmarks. This is known as the AFX tingle and affects young males with acne (the target demographic for the music of Richard D James). Once there they each forked out fourteen score and ten shekels for a binder made from a material spun (by the same elves who did Elton John's hair) out of the hide of Aphex's maternal great-uncle, Eric "the Major" Featheringtone, whose life harvesting birds' nests for soup from mossy crags on the outcrops of Shetland had made his outer surface pig-hardy and impervious to most known varieties of moisture. Richard personally concealed twelve holepunched plastic sheaths and a one-hundred-and-eighty-gram round vinyl disc inside each binder. This contained two of his favourite songs, "fenixfunk5" (which is about using paragliding as a means of gauging the progression of myxomatosis among rabbit populations living on or around sugarbeet plantations), and "xmd5a" (which was inspired by Richard's personal trainer injecting botox into cumberland sausages to celebrate rising inflation rates in Zimbabwe). Unfortunately, at the record launch party, the appearance of Rephlex Records' owner, Grut Clovis-Encephalogram, ill-advisedly wearing an outfit comprising of sixty-two mackerel skulls held together with manatee spittle and pipe cleaners, led to his being declared an "obeah man" by Haringay Council and banished to the woods next to Asda, where today he ekes out an existence bending twigs for dogfaced children to use in bomb shelters. Luckily, Aphex Twin returns in May with his new album, "Agrah!", and has promised to get his cock out for Easter. Until then, thrill to the hills with unalloyed gurgly orgasmic triumph at the prospect of owning one of these perfectly splendid binders along with the aforementioned 180gm audiophile-pressing limited Analord 10 black vinyl disc. The remaining plastic sheaths may be filled at your leisure with the remaining Analord discs, which, as you know, contain songs about subjects as diverse as earwig migration during news time, cheese rind as a masturbatory aid, naming logs, and telling your mum there's a man at the door when there isn't.  |

I don't really have anything to contribute here, as I don't know his music all that well, but his videos scare the beejesus out of me everytime!
