I remember hearing about the album on this forum 10 years ago and getting it on SLSK! The days... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can remember going hungry so I could afford the audiophile version over the standard version. Then playing standard and back to back with my mate who had the standard and neither of us being able to tell the difference. Happy days. |

Did you know that the world "album" has the word "bum" in it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nope. I do now though. Interesting article Narkotic, it is surprising quite how much "Drukqs-like sounds" have permeated other, more popular music in the past decade. Oh and it's always bloody used on Topgear whenever they want to denote a 'lunatic' car like a TVR (for calm cars like Mercs, you need BoC). |

10 years since drukqs. wow. and what has he released since? a couple of awesome tracks. about one a year. maybe two. come on you cunt, just release more aphex acid! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still don't like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's so good I bought it twice. But then I also bought rounds by fourtet twice. I should really learn to look after my stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you've to much money..give it to me. I like drukqs but it's not special imo.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember the audiophile versions... Forgot about that! 180g Vinyl, right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just wanna say, it's my favorite album ever ever |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it all about the 54 cymru beats? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It got old too fast for me, this happens a lot with AFX, I can only listen to the first SAW repeated times without getting tired of the tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have not heard of this album, is it good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
best album ever, blew my mind when I first heard it, have never heard anything else approaching it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What about Big Loada or Go Plastic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah they more than approach it to be fair. drukqs still occupies a unique place in my mind tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The very best album of any electronic music albums ever released (Go Plastic second). And "54 Cymru Beats" probably the best track anyone has ever made ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
both the standard edition and the limited edition of Drukqs are 180gram vinyl. the only difference between them is that the limited edition is pressed on virgin vinyl |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yr wrong it was 220 gram. but what a fucking v-sign it was to warp. i equate it to talk talk's spirit of eden. which makes me wonder if aphex is gonna do a laughing stock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Ten years! TEN! Where did the time go? I tried so hard to make my own tunes sound like some of those tracks... and failed miserably! It was good fun though. I love my Granddad's Glen Miller and Scott Joplin records. I love my Dad's 70's Rock LPs. I'd like to think in the future any little dave_g's will give my Drukqs vinyls a good hammering at top volume too. |

It's not my favourite thing he's done but it's definitely his legacy. Maybe that's why he's done nothing but fuck about since. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it wasn't. i have owned both of them, and they are both 180 gram. |
||||||||
|

has anyone still got the afx chocolate? |

You got stung. |

I still love vordhosbn at reduced tempo, and especially enjoyed hearing it this way in his recent shows. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The way I see it, whatever music we have from him, we should be thankful for.. could very easily be another way.. |

I was a pimply-faced teenager yet to lose his virginity when this came out. Still remember the tram ride home listening to it on my discman, and the sheer disapointment after having waited so long for it to come out. It just didn't blow me away like the other classic RDJ albums. This was the start of a waning relationship with Richard over the following years. Ended up burning it to cd, exchanging it for store credit and getting Chiastic Slide instead :D |

nope |

It was so good. It really is so good. unbelievable piece of work. I dont even think it was the best he could do, it was just when he had a very certain kind of energy. I'm such a jaded character but.. i still keep holding out for some new rich, id be so excited i really would. i listened to taking control the other day for the first time in a while. too. good. |

oh yo hi hexane! |

Richard himself trolling in the comments "Come on. Talk about over rated nonsense. Aphex Twins never did anything that wasn't ripped off form the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers or Fatboy Slim who did it first and best. The true Godfathers of techno music." cool :D |

i religiously ( administered LSD to myself and my peers and, one to four hours later, insisted we listen to an album called "drugs with a q, k, instead of g" and proceeded to listen ). At this point, I have no idea if his is my favorite music (by worlds of measure) because of the simultaneous listening with LSD or because its just awesome. I loved it when I was 13, but then again, I had just taken LSD then, as well, though rarely in conjunction with afx. there is a song on 26 mixes for cash that fades into sputtering "pftpftpft" sounds, that, on LSD, provided the most salient and tactile listening experience I have ever enjoyed. The in the harmonious region prior to "thank you for your attention, bye" -- i found myself crying, once.. also the piano pieces make me quite emotional. Druqks is great. |

Aye, as Oscillik says, both were 180g. The audiophile one is on virgin vinyl. The standard pressing is one of the best "standard" pressings I've ever heard though, so no discernible difference to my ears. What's he done since that is as good? I only really loved Bwoon Dub off all the Analords and even that was a bit disappointing when I heard how weak the bass was on a big system. One of those things where you look back a decade on and all the new AFX, Autechre, BoC, Prodigy, etc. seems weak compared to the old releases. You wonder is it because the artists got old and lost their edge, or did you as a listener get old and only still put the old music on a pedestal because of how it made you feel back then? I dunno. More recent stuff by other artists has moved me the way the old AFX tracks did, so maybe it's not just nostalgia. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the old stuff sounds better because of how it made you feel when you first heard it. so many artists just make shit now, that used to be awesome. to contradict that though, the analords series is some of my favourite afx stuff. |
||||||||
|

I remember downloading it from Audio Galaxy and it took about 7 hours |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
10 years later and it still sounds new. wtf. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
