i have already collected this pokemon (esp. appropriate  analogy for detrimentalist).
 
  in before someone says "but afx sounds better when you slow  it down." that hasn't been true for the last five years at  least.

i think shock one has a lot of potential. here's the one  everyone knows already. his shit is a lot less dense,  though, more just straight-up D&B... but there are moments

It's not my favourite Aphex release but this thread has kind  of reminded me that Drukqs really has it's own sound.

thought that was called cum on the eggs for a second. 
  some nice stuff in there, but I think RussellDust is right,  it's pretty hard to match Aphex's sound, and that release  only very vaguely reminds me of drukqs

yeah, it was more of a Tuss EP, but it dips a toe in the  water through the drum programming.
 
  a "sound" is nothing but a collection of preferred  strategies and tricks and hardware and software ricocheting  off of mood and personality. unless you spend ages tallying  up the minutiae, i think we're stuck at "yeah, this sounds  like it could be off drukqs."
 
  despite the massive potential for disagreement, there, i  think most of us would actually agree on what's drukqs-y and  what's not. funny that

No heart or soul in Venetian Snares! Whatsoever. Chopping up  audio of your wife felching a horse's ringpiece and putting  it over an Amen in 11/4 isn't the most genial musicianship  to mine ears at least

you've really disappointed me, i must say. 
  1) On 11/4: He's said in interviews that he very much enjoys  listening to 4/4; he has no problem with it, but he just  can't seem to enjoy writing it. As such, I do not view the  time signatures as a gimmick. Asking snares why he does 11/4  is like asking why a dog walks on four legs. That's just the  way god made 'em, mang.
 
  2) Felching a horse's ringpiece: After seeing some video of  him threatening to "injure a frenchman" I felt he was  absolutely genuine but also immensely immature, child-like  even. However, he is a musician whose records I buy, not my  room-mate, so I don't give a fuck if the samples fell out of  a horse's anus, I just care if the record is good or not.  Nymphomatriach was not terribly good, no argument there.  However, it's just one of a zillion, and many ARE good.
 
  3) On soul: Blink and you'll miss it, but it's there. Since  we're all up on Detrimentalist, take Eurocore MVP: Amongst  all the manic energy, there are blasts of deeply moody  chording. Then the fact that it's easy to ignore his slow  tracks, since the fast ones are so flashy: Last two trax on  the album get much more directly moody.
 
  I need to listen to Huge Chrome Cylinder Fing again, recall  that being pretty moody. Liked it but I was busy then and  never got back for more than one or two repeat listens for  some reason

It's all technique and attitude, much like Squarepusher,  without that special somethin'. Granted there's more heart  in Squarepusher's stuff, particularly early on, but he too  lacks that spark of creativity that screams out loud in so  many other artists work

i never went for piss, fart, and dick jokes myself. i prefer  absurdist, monty-python, dada, RA Wilson, discordianism,  whatever, obviously. sometimes i can genuinely contribute to  a watmm-style thread about poop, but most days i leave that  to the professionals

pretty much. i'd stay home and talk to myself, but i need  occasional noise from external creatures in order to jostle  me out of local maximums before can reach even greater  heights of being-up-my-own-butt-ness. in the industry, we  call this process simulated analing.
