And anytime I talk about Rhubarb, I have to bring up this classical guitar cover, which is one of my favorite covers of all time:

Alarm Will Sound did a whole album of Aphex Twin covers, and it's pretty amazing. They are basically a modern chamber orchestra but their covers are surprisingly faithful to the originals:

Edit: The album is called "Acoustica: Alarm Will Sound performs Aphex Twin".

I appreciate it in the same way I do Exai - as a collection of tracks rather than an album. Stuff like Mt. Saint Michel Mix is unparalleled in electronic music, drops my jaw reliably with the drum programming 3 minutes in, and really that's all I'm asking for.

This would make sense if his explanation of it being a bunch of songs he accidentally left on an mp3 player on a bus (or something like that) so he released it before it got bootlegged is true.

We need more talk about the 'Analord' series, as it was amazing. And apparently Wikipedia says that new stuff from those sessions was being issued on Rephlex Records (3.5 years ago) which I never knew about and will now have to download.

[He] makes the majority of his music on analogue gear rather than DAWs. The 'Analord' series of releases was made entirely out-the-box in this fashion.

Do you have more information about this. I remember reading about how he used a lot of old and notoriously difficult to program equipment on the 'Analord' releases, but know little else about it and pretty ignorant about all that sort of kit.

It seems to all be on YouTube now too. Not sure for how long.
