|
yea i really like drukqs... i haven't listened to it in awhile but i really enjoyed it when i did. there are a few things i don't like about it, 1)gwarek2 2) taking control other then those two songs on a level from 1 to dank, i'd say its dank. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man taking control is awsome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i fucking lost my mind the first time i heard it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I like taking control too. It seems to be a lot of peeps' favourite... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favorite so far still is mount st michael, what ever the title is, you know what i mean, don't have the jacket here to read it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount...and yeah, it's my favorite track as well. It really took some time before Drukqs made some sense, but it's an awesome record...could have fitted on one cd tho |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait taking control is the one thats like, im taking control of the drum machine, right? if it is, yea thats the one im not into, i guess the drum sounds are just kinda not what im into, and that sample gets annoying. this is all my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i rate it overall somewhere between mint-chocolate chip and wasabi ice cream... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i think, its a friendlys candy shop, to a turkey hill premium flavor ice cream |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why would you give Gwarek 2 5.1 if you hate it? Cum on, you can do better than that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love Drukqs, but damn, I'm not rating each song... I'd put drukqs in my Aphex Twin top three easily, and there is really only one song I dislike, and that's gwarek 2... I really like 54 Cymru Beats a lot... ummm, I'd give it a 9 out of 10... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah gwarek2 is the only real song i dislike too the rest of the album is amazing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some of the super short tracks like Bit4 and Aussois or whatever are stupid, but don't bother me cause they are so short... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lornaderek is genious....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
qwarek is an awesome track. What the hell are you guys talking about. Dont diss qwarek until you've heard it shrooming. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
5 out of 6 points for the lot |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
taking control kicks ass because it's like an hymn to all rythmbox pattern makers or something (and rich shows by the same way that he is the king of patternmakers ;) but whatever the fuck I says, I do think mt saint michel + st michaels mount and Ziggomatic v17 is pure greatness ! ...54 cymru beats is my fav for dancing on many-many-kilowatts soundsystems |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd give drukqs an 8.5 or so out of 10. its my favorite aphex cd but so many people rate things like 10\10. but barely anything can get a 10/10 because its perfect pretty much. people need to learn to not rate things so high. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, maybe when they rate high, it IS perfect in their opinion. just a thought. I havent heard all of the songs yet but from what I've heard, I'd give it a 9 out of 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean when people rate like a lot of cds they have like all 9s and 10s. rating just a few very high is fine. but its when they rate almost every cd very high. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, well, i guess they could all be good cd's, but I see what you're sayin. damn, avril 14th is beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs is the man. i won't rate each song, but 54 cymru beats and bbdyonchord are my fave songs on the album. especially the last part of 54 cymru beats, where it goes all metallic sounding and the beat sort of piles onto itself. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah I love that one, the piano tracks are all good. i dont play piano but that song makes me want to be able to play it on piano. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more importantly...... when u open the cd case, and pull the double sided CD-holder bit out, what is the picture of, behind where the CDs would be? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all i can say is if you like this album you must be easily pleased 23 quid for a hit n miss album of bit & pieces which do not go together and make for somewhat uncomfortable listening - considering how long i waited, this could have been so much better don't believe the hype - 6 out of 10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bah, if u looking for an album, do go here. If you want a collection of songs, go here! I still like it... not gonna rate it tho, cos it doesnt seem right to me. haha, now i sound like an elitist or a non-conformist. Oh well..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stick to pink floyd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im sure aphex has more inventive bass lines tho :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
leave waters out of this although he's probably more imaganative than ponsy gilmour |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what is that photo of? what part of the piano is it a photo of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
overall: 3.2 or 2.0 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
overall, drukqs is a 7 for me. but if i put all the good stuff on a single disc, then it's a 9. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all I can say is that if you don't think druqks is a masterpiece then you're an analclam |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would only give it 6/10 myself. Maybe if it had just been one CD of the strongest material it would have been better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the way I see it, there are still more EXCELLENT tracks on this album than on pretty much every other electronic album I've heard to date, but that's just my personal taste and you probably wouldn't feel that way if you think a lot of it is filler. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
7/10 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a strange album...I think of the tracks fondly, but everytime I put one of the CD's on I get really bored, really quickly, and end up putting something else on. Most of them are good individual tracks, I just don't think they go together well as an album (just my opinion). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
personally I get tired when artists explore only one area of music on an album.. sure it gives it a cohesive feel, but I really appreciate the variation that druqks has on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can have cohesion while exploring different sounds and styles. Even Aphex said that Drukqs was never instended to be a listen through album, you are just meant to take the tracks you like off it and make your own album...I am too lazy to do that though :D Although someone once told me the only reason it was a double album release is because Warp wanted it that way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"You can have cohesion while exploring different sounds and styles." well then, IYO what is it that druqks is lacking to be cohesive? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's just not an enjoyable listen when played as a album...it just sounds like a poorly arranged bunch of good singles to me. I can only judge things on how I hear them :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't mean that to sound snooty, I was sincerely interested in what you think it takes.. to me druqks flows pretty well... like does good flow in your opinion mean that the end of one track is similar in tone/feeling to the start of the next track? To me, a good flow is basically one good song after another =p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, to me a good flow is an album that I enjoy listening to from start to finish. It has nothing to do with how tracks start and finish. For me MHTRTC is the perfect example of an album, but it is very rare I just feel like listening to a single track from the album...it is like the reverse of Drukqs :D |

mt st michel is a famous french church /town, incredible place to spent a night if you can find a room (lots of people know that place, ok) but what i found the other day while looking at a map was that there is also, in cornwall, a place call st michael moutain. interesting title so giving a note to every track: 9,45687(!!!???) is completely insane i think |
