Hmm, well maybe its just the reletive newness of it to me (although i had heard about 1/3rd of the tracks before buying), but it seems to me that this is Richard's best work...! The piano tracks are all great, and although gwarek 2 messed with my head a little, the overall experience was incredible. There are just too many good tracks to list (and im sure it's been done about 500,000 times by this point)! Thank you, mister James. Please sir, m-m-may I have some more?

Some people don't like it. Which is beyond me. I also liked it. It had a modern cageish feel to it. IMO.

the piano tracks on that are a waste of time as far as I'm concerned, they just tear away at the time I could spend listening to the better tracks,

i took it out and blew the dust off of it a few weeks ago.. hadn't given it a good slooshie since it came out really..
I ended up liking it waay more than I used to! I used to like primarily the piano bits.. but now I'm totally digging the acid break stuff or whatever you want to call the non piano tracks.

This album is bound to become a classic of IDM, it's great! The totallity, piano parts and even "happy birthday to you" (even though it seems hilarious) make this one into a masterpiece of which each and every sound is essential.

this is his all time best work
there are NO TRAX
NONE! That have become boring.
some might think so, but i doubt it.
like the "train" song, heh gweerely murmans, which it feels like a TRAIN IS BEARING DOWN ON YOU AND YOU CANNOT ESCAPE IT!!!
and gwarek2 is a fucking MASTERPIECE, even though it seems everyoen hates it.
i swear, they must have NO BASS RESPONSE in their fucking systems.
well, i doubt many ppl can do 145dbs at 30Hz (you reallyn eed it for that song) LOL
why is this the best album evar?
uhh prolly cuse richard doesn't pump out music every 6months that is OLD AND TIRESOME in 6months.
he spends his time, does it RIGHT and doesn't fuck around.
he makes his music so that it LASTS.
it will last for years and years. i swear i have listened to drukqs more times than, well, anything
almost every day, i hardly miss a day listening to oen song.
you can't top it.

By "wrong " you mean of of key/tune?
They're supposed to be like that,gives them that classic "played live effect".
Ironic because they're not played live.
All very rustic sounding piano tracks,that remind me of being in an old cobwegg endowed mansion.

my musical appreciation is dependent on emotion/feeling expressed, not complexity. if you think they sound "wrong" i'm not sure you got it.

ahhhahhah...i agree with elusive for the most part.... ahh the piano tracks are masterful on this cd!! richard's best work ever!!
ziggomaticv17 is totally completely gorgeous in every way, and the computer saying "thank you" at the end makes it so much better...:)
it's definitely the most listened to cd i have, it never does get old. i will still listen to drukqs when im in a super ultra jazzy 300500023000.233.. and parapalegic at the age of 105...:)
ahhhhhh.... gwely mernans..that song isn't long enough....
gwarek2 is a masterpiece.
