It sounds to me like it's probably been mastered on tape or something of that nature. Every song seems to have that particular warm intimate quality. but then again, I could be completely wrong. Still my favorite! |

i think thats lyrics to a drukqs song |

The album is actually mastered pretty badly. There's enormous sonic discrepancies between tracks. It literally sounds like he pulled tracks from his hard drive from completely different eras of his musical career, and then level-matched them. |

He might have intended for the songs to completely stand out from one another. You don't dig? I hear countless hours of hard work when I listen it's songs. It could just be me... |

the mastering is fantastic and probably one of the best in electronic music. something like this should be the standard |

I think your face has enormous sonic discrepancies. |

I always liked the fact that you could make your own type of album out of it. Select the tracks you're in the mood for and let rip. It'll cater for most moods. |

All of the drum tracks have similar mastering. Clean as possible. Of course he used some different techniques for a track like Besku3epnm because it called for something different. I don't see how that makes for "bad" mastering. |

I distinctly remember everyone saying that they hated it when it was first released... only to find that the same people admitted that they always had an unexplainable desire to listen to it. |

i just listen to the fast tracks mostly |

I personally don't think there's a dull track on it. The outro the Cock/Ver 10 will always give me goosebumps. So heavy, so maxed out! |

I should point out that RDJ probably had nothing to do with the mastering on Drukqs. That's Warp's thing. Anyway, it's completely fine to have different sonic styles and techniques on albums, and also, obviously, the MUSIC on Drukqs is spectacular. However, some tracks have a Fletcher-Munson EQ curve, while others have an "all high all lows must be Bose" EQ curve. That's just not good practice for mastering. RDJ clearly has a knack for incredibly well-produced and well-mixed electronic music, but I think the record label did him a huge disservice mastering-wise for Drukqs. |

ahh, but i bet you've not heard the 180gm vinyl version though an Ortofon PW cart on one of those turntables from A Clockwork Orange see, that's where you're missing out |

the best track on drukqs is the one that goes like buuuuuuuuuum-bum. dada-dada-doodee-dada-dadoooo-da-dadada buuuuuuuuuum-bum. dada-dada-doodee-dada-dadoooo. |

Would be interesting to see how much professional mastering improves sound on the tracks. Like getting a track straight up aphex studio, and comparing it with the final product. Drukqs is well mastered, but it isn't that amazing. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great, but it isn't something extremely special. In fact, when it comes to sound quality, aphex has always been a bit "not caring as much" (except when he started to get rich, buying expensive ass gear) . I mean, some tracks in the RDJ are literally clipping, same as in SAWII. Some things have really nasty resonances. But who cares, the tracks are still great. pd: Also, at the end in Cock/Ver10 there is some weird thing happening with the acid sound, like if there was no more room in the sound spectrum and it was just fighting with the other sounds in the mix, as a result of cranking everything too much. This would be accused of "bad mixing" by some audiophiles, but again, who cares as long as the tracks are kicking ass and the overall sound is decent. |
