this is all peoples personal opinions, and i stand by what i
said. i really wanted to like drukqs but despite numerous
listens i was still really disappointed.
if i must qualify my opinion i've been listening to rdj for
11 years. for me drukqs doesn't have that aphex vibe.
needless to say i bought druqks but it remains my least
listened to aphex cd

nacmat, you give drukqs 9.8 and still you bashed it in
january this year. let me quote you...

"Reviewer: The Great Amagasaki (see more about me)
Okay, cheesy titles aside, Drukqs have got to be one of the

most off putting albums I've ever heard. I couldn't touch
anything remotely Aphex Twin for months thanks to this....
Luckily my friend restored my faith in Richard James when he

sent me some stuff from his earlier Ambient Works. ....

Which is not to discredit James at all. On the contrary,
Aphex Twin laid the ground work for some of his latter
contemperaries who would soon follow and expand on some his

ideas(Autechre, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada) that he had

laid out years ago. However, I think he realized that he
could practically do anything he wanted and people would
still listen. Sadly, I think that's what Drukqs comes down
to, a man with too much artistic freedom.

Its real shame too. Richard James tries so many interesting

things that with some time and effort, this could have been

the mindblowing double album he wanted. In the end, I think

he knew that he could squease out a mediocre album and
people would still buy it.

But I press on. So Drukqs will not go down as the greatest
way to end a looooooooong career(the man's been doing this
for ages, early eighties) but ultimately stands as one man's

final atempt to cash in before fading away. Please don't buy

this. Instead, try some his earlier works, even the Richard

D. James album. Or try Tri Repetae ++. It accomplishes what

I think James wanted on this album but is actually
listenable. This is just junk. What a waste of time and
talent
"


surely this is not what you feel now drukqs. what made you
change your mind? :)
