I am listening to drukqs right now.
 

Taxidentialist Preacher-guy from none on 2001-09-02 18:27 [#00028730]



I am a bit dissapointed. Still kind of fun. I really like
the piano type bits and the ambient parts. I mean, I like
it. But its not the RDJ album.


 

um on 2001-09-02 18:29 [#00028731]



no wait, hold on.. shut the fuck up.


 

3s1 from Edmonton, Alberta on 2001-09-02 18:32 [#00028733]



Yeah. You suck.


 

LeMoN on 2001-09-02 18:41 [#00028739]



I agree, its nowhere near the level of the likes of the RDJ
album, the SAW's, or even ICBYD...but it's good...

For all the crap that he threw into it, it could have been
an ep.

I agree but I only heart the cyrum beats song... and the
monkey drummer. Both sounded uninspired.


 

LeMoN on 2001-09-02 19:34 [#00028748]



54 Cymru Beats is one of my favs on the album actually,
sounds much better in 320kpbs mp3 form then that crappy
realstream audio file....fucking crazy song...oh, and the
Monkey Drummer you have heard is only the first minute and a
half of one of the best songs on the album, Mt Saint Michel,
which is over 8 minutes in length...Vorhosbnd, Nanou2,
Cock-Ver2 stand out as other favs for me...

Track 1 off disk 1?

For all those who think the drukqs album is uninspired......
that's what some people said about SAW2 when it first came
out. Listen to drukqs for a few days....... it grows on you
and then you get to appreciate it......


 

Barrett, Syd from Toronto on 2001-09-03 05:50 [#00028840]



it's my favourite album of his, that's for sure.


 

])avid Violence from Florida. on 2001-09-03 09:01 [#00028899]



DEFINATLY my favorite album. Very superstructured on alot of
the tracks, and yet, its what hes known for. Ive only even
listened (really payed alot of attention) to disk one, and
almost every track is phenominal in its own right. I really
enjoy the piano parts, even though they come off as sad.

I am in NO WAY dissapointed at ALL.

All of you fans out there who HAVENT heard it yet, will not
be dissapointed. anyone hardcore enough to wait, will
respect this peice of work like the BLESSING that it is.

I plan on purchasing multiple copies just to support him,
and to give as gifts. As I said before, Stupendous album.


 

Dogfart from Chicago on 2001-09-03 12:31 [#00028956]



])avid Violence has some knowledge about self and you other
cats who diss this release can suck on my fat knob.

This is RDJs best release so far and if you dont think so
seek help, How the fuck can you think RDJ album is
better?????????????????? 32 min of dope music (nice music
though) against almost 2 hours of dope
music???????????????????


 

Dogfart from Chicago on 2001-09-03 12:32 [#00028957]



])avid Violence talks for me. Hes my mentor.


 

])avid Violence from Florida. on 2001-09-03 13:15 [#00028965]



I'm grateful that I have a soapbox to talk on.

Personal favorite tracks:

Orban eq trx4 (disk 1)
-Although most of the tracks on disk one are moderatly
short (with the exclusion of mt saint michael...) This track
stands out in my mind. It would be one of the more
"aphexish" songs on the disk. It sounds more similer to his
his precious acheivements, and yet, very origonal as far as
melody. Don't get me wrong, it IS a simple, yet catchy
bassline, I can't get enough of it. The sharp kickdrum and
snare hits round out his "sound" on this one. A defiante
favorite. Sharp sounding, but softened with the low synth.
enough echo to keep it interesting, and yet not cluddered
with all the backwards samples.

Avril 14th- (disk 1)
- I adore this song. It is my favorite piano peice from
the entire cd. I have been playing the piano for well over
half of my life. It is an instrument that conveys so much
emotion to me, personaly. When something this rearkable
comes along, I must comment about it. This song only
consists of a piano. Possibly either very old, or just put
through a number of filters to make it sound that way. Note
the pumping sound as each key lifts from the string inside
the piano. While listening closly, you can hear very
destinct sounds come from inside the instrument, after each
note is pressed. While coming off as classical, it has a
nice modern flavor that many people find nice in soft jazz.

bbydhyonchord- (disk 1)
-This is the other track that most closly resembles
richard previous work. Its very light, and dosnt resemble
much other than the likes of "beetles," or his less
structured, and more downtempo stuff. Bongos, soft
synth...all things that go into a calmer relaxed sounding
tune. The melody just fades in, along with the rest of the
instruments. A soft handclap of a few people can be heard,
on every fourth beat, which adds a nice "human" sound to
this one.

That is all for now. If anyone else even gives a damn about
what I have to say about this album, email me, or post here.
I'm sure I'll run into you sooner or later.

Thanks again for the time on the soapbox.

Same here, I have listened to the first disk much more, and
my favs are...

Vordhosbn, for its fantastic synth beat and the section that
starts a little after the 1:10 mark up to around 2 is so
dramatic, brilliant...

Gwely Mernans - Haunting, I love it, sounds like the
material on SAWII, except better then 75% of it...

Cock-ver 10 - I love some of the beats in this song, amazing
technicality on Rich's part, and some very nice melodies
abound...

Mt Saint Michel - Stunning achievment, awesome beats
throughout the entire song, my favorites at 4:35 through 5
and the end with the synth voice, just amazing...

Hy a Scullyas Lyf Adhagrow - So melancholic, touching
song...

Kesson Daslef - Same as above.

I dont care for Orban at all, reminds me of one of the
Girl/Boy 'mixes' which I also didnt care for very much...



 

Sido Dyas on 2001-09-03 20:32 [#00029066]



When listening to this album it sounds like richard been
inspired by a lot of oldschool music like early jungle n
shit.
I had hoped for more "im lightyears ahead of you
motherfuckers"shit ,like that eqation song on Windowlicker.
Its still a great album though.
The strange thing is that i have other versions of certain
tracks which i like better.Two of them might be fake but
three of them most definetly aren't.



 

Dave on 2001-09-03 21:48 [#00029076]



the drukqs tracks off audiogalaxy, which i just downloaded:
real or fake???

not that it matters, but these tracks are fucking beautiful,
and i would be heartbroken if this weren't drukqs and the
real album came along and it sucked...


 

orbit on 2001-09-03 21:53 [#00029077]



Well, do they seem to sound like what some people have
posted above?
