My understanding is that it's not a complete analog recording, but a digital mix of analog and digital parts.
It turns out to be quite a complex recording process. The basic instrument tracks were recorded thru a custom mixer (tube?) at 24/88 directly in ProTools. The converters were Apogee. With the exception of the bass tracks, no compressors were used. The vocal tracks were recorded via an API mixer (solid state) into ProTools using both solid state and tube mic preamps and tube (Fairchild) compressors. Mix down was a combination of ProTools and the API with both hardware and software effects. dCS converters were used during the mix.

Here's a link to the article containing the complete details in EQ Magazine.
