Dodo's Album Reviews

  Get comfy, 'cause this is gonna be a long one. Welcome back to my blog, ladies and gentlemen. Today, we are reviewing the 11 EP long series, 3 and half hours worth of  entirely analogue  material, Analord. I'm gonna review this similiar to how I review a Various Works post. Also, I will not be including the bonus tracks released in 2009. So, with that being said, let's go. ~~~ Analord 1: We start with Steppingfilter 101. Classic acid bassline, but a slower beat, however the stand out feature for me is the trippy, yet catchy towards the start. A pretty decent start to the album. Canticle Drawl had a saw bassline, and not much else. A lot of the tracks on these EPs are gonna be rather simple. MC-4 Acid was another slow acid house song, though not as catchy as Steppingfilter. Bubble 'n' Squeak 2 was a pretty nice track with a very soothing, airy pad. Where's Your Girlfriend was the first long song of this album. Why am I pointing this out? Well, quite a few song...

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today, I will be reviewing Aphex Twin's sixth studio album, Syro. Keep in mind that it had been 13 years since Aphex Twin's last studio album at the time of this record's release. While Mr. Richard's previous album, DrukQs, was a an absolute masterpiece, I have heard a lot of people bad-mouth this album for being to bland. Let's see if that's true...  Starting off the album, we have minipops 67. A rather calm beat-oriented track, mixed with some distorted vocal samples and an acid house-like synth. Towards the end of the track, more vocal samples are added in, which add a very nice feel to this song. A great start to this album.  Next we have XMAS_EVET10, with a slow beat, similiar to minipops 67, difference being this track brings in more synths, that add a very alien feel to it, just like any other song from this guy. My only gripe with this song is that drags on for way to long. I sure 10 minutes is a bit of an exagera...

Welcome back everyone to my blog. Today, I'll be reviewing Aphex Twin's fourth studio album, The Richard D. James Album. After the rather odd experience that was " ...I Care Because You Do ", I wasn't really expecting anything very enjoyable from this album, but low and behold, I was pleasantly surprised! Let's dive in deeper... Kicking off the album with 4. A strong start with a fast, skiddish beat and some violin-like melodies. Some synth pads scattered about, made for one of the best Aphex Twin songs in his whole discography! Cornish Acid had a harder, but slower beat compared to 4, mixing in some acid-like sounds here and there. Another pretty good track overall. Then comes Peek 824545201, and this song is all over the place, mixing in synths and fast, squelchy beats. Not the best, but still pretty good. Fingerbib was the chill song of this album, like the Alberto Balsalm of this release. I had a similiar motif to 4, mixing in violin melodies with a beat, ...

Greetings, everyone! How are y'all doing? I hope you're all doing great. Anyways, today we will be talking about the highly experimental Aphex Twin album, "...I Care Because You Do". This album, leaving aside it's cover lol, was quite a handful and left me with a weird taste in my mouth. The music was all over the place and the beats we're messy. Let's get a bit more in depth, shall we? The first song, Acrid Avid Jam Shred, was a pretty nice start to the album, giving off a hip-hop type beat, with a fuzzy synth melody alongside it. It was very noise-rich and had some weird sound effects here and there, but was overall a good song. The Waxen Pith had a very nostalgic vibe for some reason, but at the same, felt very melancholic, like something was coming to a close, like moving out of town, leaving your friends behind, seeing all the places you've been to fade away. I don't know, it just felt very sad and is one of my favourite songs o the album. Wax...
