Question about the Analord series

Is Analord 10 under the Aphex Twin moniker or AFX? My tags seem to be kind of mixed up.

they're pretty good for the most part. nothing groundbreaking, but solid stuff. its very back-to-basics AFX.

There's apparently a "highlights of Analord" type CD release coming after the series is done. You'll need all the EPs if you want to have all the tracks, though.

To make things confusing, the first one was 10, then it goes 1,2,3,...9,11,12,etc. (I think)

There's another thread on this but I can't be arsed to search it.

Analord is quietly thrilling. He's used the format to escape from the pressure of "come on, reinvent music again you lazy cunt" that coloured the reception of Drukqs and to get on with making vivid, visceral acid. And it works: this is great music, bollocks to whether it's "retro". It's pretty much the only Richard D. James I've listened to this year and if you're a fan it's worth your attention.
