basuicallyt it comes down to this is all xtronic vreverything is all a part of my lfe and basically knew shit is going down that was basically highly destructive and so it went like one big dream and everytying was circumstancial or maybe like some kind of thing where these tunes were off to the sidelines but they are me theya re a part of my life and then suddenly out of no where this event happened and it was like this other dood far side of planet had some shit he thought might helpe me so he said ok im going to flash everyone all my emotions all at once and see what happens (fi thats ' what happens at 45rpm all the emorinos they d o everything atll at once that's why youcan play at 33) and basically all these tunes and so isolated and so basically why deciding to expose one sehlf someone other side planet using this thanks it means a lot more than you would ever know thahnks |

I may agree with your second sentence, but definitely not your third! (there's a wide variety of stuff to come) Have a little hope! ;) You, my dear friend, are a party pooper, a sourpuss, defeatist, depreciator, killjoy, and a prophet of doom. |

It's nice to hear from you, elusive. I remember talking helicopters with you around 2004-5. You will forever be remembered here, warmly, for your minute descriptions of moments in tracks. Describing 5 milliseconds of Augmatic Disport, or how a certain part of a track sounds completely different from your kitchen. So much fervour, and happiness through music. I hope you're on the up now! |

Hahah, I am not y'old shitebag. I just find it strange when people have good ears and love tings that I love, and yet pick up quality in things that don't tally up for me. At least when it's a piece of work by somebody who's met a high standard and then appears to have declined. I do hope! I don't expect though. Sourpuss you bollocks |

I like it and it's good and I dident have that much expectation because I wasn't that excited over syro. The aphex mystery is back in this one which I like. So let's have some glockenspiel and gongs. |

russdust - thx it's nothin to to do with me just watched another very close to me slowly disintegrate and it spun me on my top. i always watched read ppeople claim how music gets them thru difficult times and for me it was always experience building golden years but now me too am at that point where music is a coping mechanism and wow syro came out of no where and what a grand thank you for that !! the timing couldnt be more of helpful at first i asumed maybe everything was planned as. everything fell into place and syro defines the start of a new chapter in my life so that is why i am excited. these tunes define me. it's who i am as a person and it's nice to see that now. it's nice to have something as good as syro be what defines you. |

It's my favourite thing that he's done in over a decade and a wonderful counterpoint to syro. A lot of Richards tracks showcase someone who has complete 100% control over every minute aspect of the process, something he gives up here with the live aspect coupled with handing sound generation over physical objects. Bum notes, dropped sticks, background intrusion are all part of a surprisingly human final product, given the circumstances. Then again it's tricky dicky and all this stuff is probably a carefully crafted illusion. Hopefully my record arrives today so I can give it a blast at 45rpm. |

I wish some of the shorter bits that come across as sort of "song sketches" were fleshed out and made longer. Also, the songs would probably benefit from having some additional instruments rather than just the prepared piano and whatnot. Don't get me wrong, I love the sounds he coaxes out of that piano, but it'd be cool if he could have some other stuff in the mix. I think I remember reading that Richard can't really play any actual instruments in real time. But anyway, it would have been cool if he could have hired someone to play some guitar bits that he wrote, or pump organ, or any other acoustic stuff. Better yet, Richard should be given access to the Z-Machines "band". |

I'm starting to like it a lot more than I did at first. But I still wouldn't mind hearing more songs done in this style but longer or more fleshed out. Hopefully Vol 1. comes out some time and that's not actually referring to the piano tracks on Drukqs. All that computer controlled stuff must be pretty fun and interesting to work with. I wonder how difficult it is to work with the electronically controlled drums... If it's just some kind of motors and whatnot that a drumstick can be clamped to, controlled via MIDI and you can control the strength of the hits via velocity or some such. Hopefully Richard will do another interview where he explains the process a little more. I usually like reading what he has to say because he seems enthused and intrigued by music and the creation process and sort of just sound in general. |

" everything fell into place and syro defines the start of a new chapter in my life" quite the same here but with CCAI Pt2 EP - on the day of very good news another good news came: Aphex next release is coming. I felt like the sun was up again on my street. and though it sounds all pots and pans and spoons and forks [computer controlled ? whatever, ok...] - it's way more vivid and lively and all more interesting than Syro. I love it for that. it's like Richard taking a breath and letting his listeners take a breath before he [hopefully] hits us with some new amazing stuff that's more/purely electronic. and that piano track....nothing new really but it HITS in a new way. thanks, Rich. |

He might have used these instruments, and others (that Godfried-Willem Raes made for him) for this EP: |

That's the only time I go to WATMM, to read about any new releases by the 'big four'. They work their little socks off over there, and it's always a fun read. Some get really upset at the people who dare offer criticism. It's quite cute. |

what the hell are you talking about?? |

I mean that if you go to the thread there, the one about the EP, you can not only see links to what you kindly posted here, but tons of other stuff. People over there are really dedicated, and find out all sort of stuff. There's also related gear threads. I don't have an account there, but I do like reading the hardcore fans there. So what I meant is that this is not really the place for fun/juicy info. Unlike yourself, not that many people make much of an effort. ;) |

I really don't know if I believe that this was intended to be played at 45 RPM... A lot of us had listened to the DrukQs tracks at 33 RPM and they're cool to hear and you can hear all the little details... But in that recent long ass interview Richard did for that sort of unknown blog (I forget what exactly it is) the guy asked if any of the DrukQs tracks were composed in a slower tempo and then sped up and he denied it, and I think while on the topic he would have mentioned if any of the tracks on the record were intended to be played at the 33 RPM. It's not like such a thing has never been done before. I believe Boyd Rice has released records like this, though I can't say I'm really a fan of his. Anyway, out of curiosity, if I was to timestretch or I suppose time-compress my CD rip FLACs to the equivalent of 45 RPM what would I set it to? I'm shit at maths but would like to hear a clean digital version rather than a vinyl rip with all the clicks and everything. What about the other way around? Would be interesting to try it with other stuff too. And there's really not a loss of quality if you strech/compress both time and pitch simultaneously. |

I think has some super easy options to do just that in the effects menu. |

how is it you're a fucking idiot and at the same time you speak so much sense? |

that goes for you too. ffs. only a CUNT would talk about speeds of vinyl. |

I played it at 45 sounded like music for a buster keaton silent movie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Looking into it further, the vinyl version says on the actual label "33 or 45". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, you can change the speeds of digital imports in Audacity from 33 to 45, I did it with my copy of this EP. Still prefer the 33 version tho, but personal preference I guess. |
