At 3:47am (Melbourne time) I got the email from the warpbot!!!!
Yes, it's the email that lets you listen to 54 Cymru Beats.
I'm shaking!!! I'm too excited!!!
WOO HOO!!!
:-)
I'm not too sure how to explain the track (I have only listened to it once) but the last minute or so is rather heavy :-)

I'm not too good at describing music so thats why I havent done so with 54 Cymru Beats. All I know is that it's far from ambient :-)
If your too lazy to check your mail or to excited heres the URL:
http://easylink.playstream.com/warpstream/01.rm
I really can't see how this could be a hoax so finally the first Drukqs track is out for listening by the general public.

it's very heavy, drill-and-base sounding to me. the thing is, i'm not sure if i like it. the drum work is amazing if nothing else though.

Yeah, I really like the beginning and the end but it lose's me a little in the middle.
I'm sure I'll learn to love it all with time :-)
I didn't really like 2 remixes by AFX at first listen but now I love them...

I think my new track "Dibby13r" is just as good actually.

i'm a little disappointed. if i hadn't known who it was, i'd mistake it for a squarepusher track. this is the kind of stuff he's capable of churning out in his sleep -- hell, in a few interviews on this site he mentions a program he is writing that will just write the music for him. could this be a fruit of that labor?

This is pure Aphex.. don't compare it to anything else. Just listen to it and remember this is only ONE track of a total THIRTY coming out soon; it will most likely have more meaning when heard as a whole with the entire album. Relax and try not to take apart every fucking thing you hear.
Peace,

it's absolute shit...actually i'm listening to it right now and don't know what to think. it is very squarepusher. it has been stated that drukqs will be one of the more mainstream releases of his though.

The distorted harmonics in the end are sick on this track. Also noticing that he might take up the Vocoder on a regular basis when it comes to vocals. Gimmmme more!

this one was very nice! it's got samples from the equation track off of the windowlicker ep.. if i'm not totally mistaken(?). i'm very much looking forward to druqks, even if it's gonna be more commercial or whatever, it's still richard d fucking james.

CN, you are correct about the 'Formula' vocal samples that at the end of the track. I also observed this but thought it was unneccasary to state the obvious.

I highly doubt that this is one of the better tracks of the up and coming album, but its not bad at all IMO, it seems to be just some sort of amalgamation of styles and samples from his career made into a pretty nutty track.
The first single of I CARE BECAUSE YOU DO was Ventolin which is faaaaaar from my favorite ( some love it , some hate it), and it sounds like nothing else on that entire album, the rest of ICBYD I love dearly.
I didnt expect some masterpiece track from the album to come our way at first at all, why would they??
This is not going to be released as a single anyways, this is just to keep us quiet for a bit longer, but generally most seem to really like it a lot as a matter of fact.
I think the rest of the album will be far better then this, even though some people think that this is a great track.
Personally im not a fan of the fast Squarepusher VIC Acid sound at all ( Im just sort of bored of it now thats all), but to each their own ofcourse.
Dont be discouraged if any of you dont like this , theres 29 (!)other totally different tracks coming your way.
I Love the melody part that starts at around !;30 into the track , I just wish it lasted longer...

Most of the people with negative comments seem to compare this with Squarepusher.. I haven't heard much of SP, but 54CB is for me a great track on it's own. It did require my full attention to shine, but that's something I enjoy both in music and film. Anyway, give it a break and wait for the album. :P

What surprises me more is the lack of comments on this new single by Aphex, instead people write and comment about BOC, the Beatles , fruityloops......etc...
Erm, this is The Aphex Twin site, isnt it? its been 5 years since a new album, 2 and half years since Windowlicker..
Its the most anticipated album of the year by any electronic artist, plus this is the greatest electronic artist since Kraftwerk.,
No asskissing here but this is a new track of APHEX TWIN's new album dammit......
No offense intended guys...

PostModernVancouver {fellow canadian}: yes.... well the new AFX single is quite interesting indeed. The first track is killer, the second one is good. and the 3rd one is just interesting to say the least! The first track has great flow, .... hehe. and it works so well. I was glad to hear that, to hear AFX mix someone elses song, that you would not normaly expect to hear him do..... music like that i mean. I think its a little taste of some shit on the new album. Maybe, maybe not.. we will have to see. I cant wait.

You're all just a bunch of Aphex Heads.. :P
He experiments so much that it becomes unlistenable. The beginning is interesting....and thats about it....mabe some other tracks will be better on it.......i hope. I don't want the new album to be a flop....
now if you'll excuse me i'm going to listen to Windowlicker... :P ;)

It is difficult for me explaining this.Dont have too many words because the music speaks for itself.One more time RDJ proves that he is a real genious.And that he is definately on top of everything,musically speaking.I thought the new Men label AFX 2 remixes were great,but man,this is just way out my expectations.Combines old Aphex plus new stuph.Brilliant.I know the new double cd-Drukqs are going to be just like that plus much more.He will combine uneven drill-n-bass beats plus some ambient,plus noises,plus everything that is Richard d James...........R3FL3X,and everybody,are ya with me.

i've listened to the song a few times. at first, granted i liked the song, but i wasn't too impressed. but its been like that with alot of rdj's music. it just takes time for it to completely sink in. when i listened to SAM vol 2 i hated it. but a few months later i listened to it again and fell in love with it.
and besides, this is just one song off of a two disc set. i have faith that i will be pleased when the final product comes out and blesses my ears.

HOLY SHIT!!!! THAT SONG ROCKS!!!!!! I don't know about the rest of you, but to me it sounds FUCKIN AWESOME!!! I was expecting some 40-second noise clip or something! The good thing is, it sounds (a bit) like the equation track, but has more structure! I sure hope the rest of the album is like this (especially like the hard parts at around 3:48)...

Sometimes Aphex just crams to much stuff into his stuff, without thinking about how it affects the overall impression. Like this tune, I think it´s a bit complexity over quality really..
