RDJ is the second mozart, like i said, the apple amadeus, the most productivity and creativity electronic producer of the world. he's the alpha, nobody can beat him.

Yesterday I listened to the whole Richard D. James album once again from A till Z on my discman before sleeping and I have to admit it once again absolutely blowed me away! It's so great, it's the ultimate perfection. I totally agree with you map! Richard D. James album is absolute top!

if u analyze Ziggomatic v17 you will get sick...he got like a million of details inside that track. The tracks drums must have taken months to program. The beat changes every second, the programming, effects is just sick on that track. Ziggomatic has as much details as other artists whole albums. Yeah How da fuck does he have the energy to do all those details even tho he doesnt have another job!!??!I never heard anything like it..Luke Vibert said it takes Aphex like months to only creat one beat...I understand why.

Not to fight with anyone her but does obsession with detail and a lot of time devoted to technical issues guarantee good art/ music? nope.

i agree archrival the programming is wicked. plus i really like the new flavor represented with the piano tracks. avril 14th is such a pure track; so simple and beautiful.
not sure if i can say drukqs is the best as ICBYD was my gateway drug for afx so to speak and will always have that nostalgia for me.
but drukqs is deffinately right up there

aphex has evolved - as his wealth grew, so did his software/hardware &tc... from making his own analogue synths to making an entire album on his laptop (RDJ album allegedly) the attention to detail is just a natural progression - if i had all that money and equipment, the production on my music would be a lot more detailed and complex. i have noticed it even as my software has improved, i am able to better fulfil my own vision.

What are you on about? It all comes down to personal taste. If you don't like complex tracks why do you bash others for doing so?

Just kidding, but I do think that a lot of drukqs is just a demonstration of his obsessive editing/mixing method but not all that great actually, in a deeper sense

If you like it, then fine. If you don't like it, then fine.
Everyone has different taste and different ideas of what constitutes "good music". Personally I like drukqs, but I can see how some people might not care for it.
To quote Thom Yorke, "it's all fuckin noise anyway".

I think in cases such as SAW2 "less is more" . what about "Rhubarb", that track is amazing and it's only runnin synths, and then theres "Blur", probably one of the darkest tracks I've ever heard,
To me it's also about the sounds I don't hear,

No problems with it. As i said a million times, I'm happy if drukqs works for you better than for me. I'm just trying to clear out some misconceptions...

i dont liek drukqs as much as the RDJ album.
drukqs, to me, seems liek hes gone all out on detail but there only seems to be three types of tracks on the CD
piano drill ones and the weird piano/hat ones (track one etc) and a different one ever so often
but hey i m not sayin it sucks, im just stating my opinion on it :)

they are not that bad. But I'm going home in ten minutes so am not ready to discuss it extensively. They are just "readings" of afx music and have some new perspectives out of which some are banal and some are really great.

hmmm like I was into just details hmmm NOT. Im into melodies and dope beats, im just so dam impressed by AFXs SKILLS. I mostly into hip hop tho and do u call that detailed production (one break one sample)??? I produce my delf (all styles) and I can tell u AFX made some pretty impressive stuff on that album fo sho.
"if i had all that money and equipment, the production on my music would be a lot more detailed and complex" COME ON that WAS JUST SO FUNNY LOL

drukqs' tracks are too similar, i agree, but when you listen to it without even thinking it's afx or nothing else, you hear a deepness and a will to express emotions strongly enough to say it's not a show-off IMO
