AllMusic Review by Heather Phares
Following 2014’s Syro and its follow-up EPs Computer Controlled Acoustic
Instruments pt2 and MARCHROMT30a Edit 2b 96, Richard D. James keeps up his
prolific streak with his first release under the AFX moniker in over a decade.
Picking up where the acid laced Analord series left off and following the nexx
level club focused material of the recently-revealed-to-be material as The Tuss
orphaned deejay selek 2006-2008 goes down a more floor focused approach as
evident from the off, opener serge fenix Rendered 2 is prime time Analord acid
following on where Fenix Funk 5 left off and moving further into sounds never
seen electro and acid territories. dmx acid test goes down a proper panned 303
route crafting a nice interlude before the bouncing ball acid of oberheim
blacet1b rears its reverb drenched tab for a tight electronica track of
hallucinatory proportions (which ends with a crafty amen break - giving nod to
the days of his jungle tracks ala RDJ) bonus EMT beats fully lets the drums go,
focusing on tight percussion pinning sharply throughout the field of audio. Flip
for the killer live fan favourite simple slamming b 2 a haunting techno track
that sounds like nothing else really out there, part gabba part old school
sublow and proper darkside synths rinsing through the sky above. midi pipe1c
sds3time cube/klonedrm recalls The Gentle Peoples outside ambience but with a 7
am grin(gurn) while NEOTEKT72 and r8m neotek beat roll up a hip-hop sound to cap
off whats an absolute highlight in a discography of legendary proportion and
possibly the finest AFX (under any alias) release in years.
