Chosen Lords - a collection of the limited edition Analord vinyl series - pushes away much of the excess intellectual baggage of previous Aphex Twin discs. Gone are the paraniod mutations which have characterised so much of RDJ's recent work, replaced by a clarity and analog warmth harking back to the first Ambient Works album.



Thats not to say that this is straight forward listening - there is still much to to admire about the dexterity of RDJ's rhythmic and conceptual maneuvers. But what most impresses here is the sheer purity of RDJ's vision, uniting every strand of house, techno, ambient and electronica, consolodating their individual strengths into one indestructible rhythm.



Its worth remembering that this is the artist who was able to deliver us from the mundaneties of dance music's inumerable little genres and blend the whole into a coherent, spectral form back in the late 80's and early 90's and in that context Chosen Lords stands as a reminder of just how unique a sound RDJ has crafted for himself over the years.
