RDJ most diverse album?

I Pick Come To Daddy, no doubt

We have the electronic satanic (richtanic might be a better
suited word) punk pappy mix, the melodic drillin'
Flim, the lyrically disturbing sweet 'drill-hop'
lullaby Little Lord Faulteroy Mix, the groovy
simplistic funny little man the chaotic dark Mummy
mix
, the dramatic UZ-IS, the metallic bouncy
bucephalus bouncing ball, the feel-good ambient'ish
To Cure A Weakling Child, Contour Regard which
surpasses the original.

do you agree? (26 mixes does not count, as it is a
collection of 10 years work)

Drukqs definately, where else are you going to hear
drill'n'bass and Satie-flavoured piano pieces side by side?

drukQs? diverse? are you serious??
ok there are the piano tracks contrasting a lot with the
drill'n'bass ones, and two darkambient-y nice ones, but into
these genres it sounds pretty much all the same to me...

i think ICBYD is the most diverse to me.

icbyd is diverse too...
so maybe:

ctd
icbyd
druqks

maybe these three are the most varied?
what do you think?

yeah, Come To Daddy is varied too.

and Windowlicker is not an album, but still - three
different tracks, three different genres.

i think its safe to say that everything richard has released
recently is becoming more and more diverse, and he isnt
holding on to very many genres as a single means of
expression

I agree CTD is the mos diverse album (or.. ehm...EP!).

The least diverse album must be SAW ll ?

The rdj album is fucking amazing but it is a whole body of
work, I care because you do, on the other hand is a
collection odd's and ends that makes a glorious whole that
is a little more diverse than drukqs.

In all honesty though I think that his whole career has been
incredibaly diverse and is in short incredible to behold,
there is no other word apart from genius imo!!!

That is my final comment on the subject of rdj.

mmm aaa....
bah! idontknow...

i think icbyd its not as diverse as drukqs or ctd (not an
album, tho..)

Definetly Druqks. Got a little of everything in there.

Points: 8876 Status: Lurker



I think the whole Drukqs album sounds very Hardware oriented
wich makes it feel less diverse then CTD.
Its what? 30 tracks? but they all have a simmilar feel to
them.
Hard to explain....

any Aphex album other then Drukqs, which is packed with
repetitive filler material

that's hard to say, a lot of his albums sound great when
listened to all at once, they're pretty cohesive, but id say
the one album that stands out a lot is...........I CARE
BECAUSE YOU DO

You can't say really, can you, cos ICBYD and SAW v1 (and 26
remixes) are both a collection of material recorded over a
much longer period of time, as opposed to material intended
to be regarded as a cohesive whole.

If you were to ignore that distinction, I'd go for ICBYD. If
you weren't, probably Drukqs.

RDJ is probably the *most* cohesive as far as I'm concerned.

I am sure that drukqs is also a compilation of the work of
many years

say come to daddy for sure
and i agree wholeheartedly with uzim about drukqs-- there
are different styles on it, most notably drill n bass n
piano melodies... but 15 of one and 15 of the other (not
accurate obviously) isnt my idea of diversity

Oh yeah, Nacmat, definitely....
But it is sequenced a bit more 'album-ish' than ICBYD...
y'know, fast track, slow track, etc...

I guess I have basically manged to prove myself wrong there.


Okay, what AFX records do you reckon were recorded as a body
of work?

Maybe none of them?, but I reckon definitely SAW v2, some of
the ABBs (and HABs), and maybe RDj.... (acronym heaven, us
IDMers like our TLAs....)

(I'd just like to register my dislike of that horrible term,
IDM)
