Who thinks Drukqs is Richard's Best?

I think I do.


 

Richard D. James on 2001-10-24 01:59 [#00044908]



Shut up, Ex-Whore, you're a spastic fuck, go away, leave
this site, I dislike you.

Henry from Sweden on 2001-10-24 11:40 [#00045009]



I think Drukqs is one of the best... I like Ventolin and
Come to Daddy very much to (The EPs)


 

Archrival from NY on 2001-10-24 13:50 [#00045039]



I definitly think its his best.


 

chicken paste man!! on 2001-10-24 14:11 [#00045041]



his best what?
you see... it depends what you're talking about?
his best release to date? his best 30 track double cd
album?
his best mango?


 

Phobiazero from Sweden on 2001-10-24 14:14 [#00045042]



Not his best IMO...


 

chicken paste man!! on 2001-10-24 14:17 [#00045045]



IMO - what's that?
intergallactic melted opera?


 

oysterclam from the briny deep on 2001-10-24 18:32 [#00045103]



my gramma thinks saw2 is his best
it cured her migraine once she said

---------------------floooooooooooooooom.


 

squearn cloths from what was a grill on 2001-10-24 18:51 [#00045114]



NOT HIS BEST
1/RDJ ALBUM 9.4
2/SAW 9.3
3/Come ro Daddy 9.2
4/ICBYD 9.0
5/DrukQs 8.4
6/SAW 2 8.3 this is the final
result.


 

The_Funkmaster from Canada on 2001-10-24 19:44 [#00045122]



What's with everyone saying RDJ album is the best? I haven't
heard Drukqs yet, but IMO out of the ones I have I Care
Because You Do takes the cake... RDJ is really good
though...


 

Jeremy kwhy on 2001-10-24 19:54 [#00045124]



I care because you do - is by far the best. It sounds like
he had real fun making this album, DrukQs just doesn't work
as an album, it sounds exactly like Richard says 'a mixed
bunch of tracks from the last 5 years'.


 

Ken from Ireland on 2001-10-24 22:27 [#00045144]



The RDJ album get's my numero uno vote....all the tracks are
short and perfectly formed...

#2. The come to daddy mini album....disturbing & funny...all
at the same time, again all the tracks are concise and full
of ideas

#3 Windowlicker.......My fav electronic track ever

#4 I care because...... lots of lo-fi gems especially
....alberto balsam & cow cud is a twin

I'm still trying to get my gulliver around Druqks

keeping an eye out for selected ambient works 85-92

s a w II is toss ...pretty much




 

)(ePlhA88 from on my fuckin' couch on 2001-10-24 22:43 [#00045147]



i'm listening to it right now for the first time... but i
just have to say that deciding which is his best album is
like trying to decide between friends on who is your "best
friend"~~ they each have their worthwhile qualities.

but i will tell you this much though...

he's still got it. but he better watch out-- i've got an
oscilliscope, and I'm not scared to use it... (for music
that is)

thanks, twin... for all the music... wherever you are.


 

The_Funkmaster from Canada on 2001-10-25 03:06 [#00045202]



I own the RDJ, Come to Daddy, Surfing on Sinewaves (which is
pretty cool by the way) and I Care Because You Do, and ICBYD
is by far the best... it's absolutely amazing, from start to
finish... As someone else put it, "it works on a third
dimension" or something to that effect... RDJ is good, but
sounds childish (no doubt that was his intention though) and
is way too short... Come to Daddy is excellent, but is just
too short and not quite as good... Surfing on Sine Waves is
good, but too dancy for me... ICBYD is AMAZING!!!!!


 

The_Funkmaster from Canada on 2001-10-25 03:09 [#00045204]



Oh, and by the way... this is maybe a bit off topic, but not
too much... has anyone here heard the album Passion by Peter
Gabriel... this is an awesome album... now I love Aphex
Twins music, but Passion is head and shoulders above it...
it's on a totally different level... and really, it's like
an organic, non electronic, Techno album, so it's not
totally off topic... anyways, if you haven't heard it, look
for it, it's AMAZING!!!!!! :)


 

nostalgae from kcks on 2001-10-25 03:30 [#00045209]



SAW85-92 is still my favorite so far, but I haven't heard
the other albums in their entirety yet, namely drukqs


 

monaco from los angeles on 2001-10-25 03:43 [#00045213]



the fast stuff is pure afx..the "2 remixes"single was a
teaser..the short paino clips are a change..maybe the SAW3
will be in that realm...and "nanu 2"
will make ENO proud.."hangable auto bulb"showed early on for
"Drukqs" i think..over all...i give it an "8"----RDJ LP is
good..but for ICBYD to follow Select 2
was a outstanding move


 

DblHeLX from moon on 2001-10-25 06:47 [#00045246]



the final temptations of christ is another good gabriel
album.


 

DblHeLX from moon on 2001-10-25 06:50 [#00045247]



oops, hehe thats the same album. :P
sorry


 

xepha88 from my fuckin' desk on 2001-10-25 08:24 [#00045262]



okay, well what about the hab's, huH?!!?!

i'm sorry, but I've got a copy of a live performance of
hangable butane bob....

...delicious.


 

PostModernVancouver from Urban PostModernVancouver< Canadaaaa on 2001-10-25 12:27 [#00045317]



ok Funkmaster, I've had PASSION ofr about 7 years now, and
it is a great album but incomparable to RDJ in my opinion.
This is just a matter of taste in terms of the music
ofcourse.
Sorry, but PASSION is not written by Peter Gabriel as far as
I know, its just performed by him , and he does a good job
of it.
But RDJ works on a way higher level of musical genius then
Gabriel does on any day of the week ( no disrespect to
Gabriel), but lets not forget that this is Aphex we're
talking about now.
Aphex in these past 12 years has already walked circles
around Gabriel in terms of sheer musical innovations and
progressiveness.
Let alone the fact that RDJ can write the most melancholy,
heartwrenching and sad music under the sun, whenever he
pleases.
This is just a matter of pure musical taste IMO, but in
terms of musical prowess and sheer unparalleled uncharted
universes, ermmmm Richard is the fucking King, sorry......
Aphex is leaps ahead of everyone anyways in terms of
imagination and creativity....



 

Ophecks on 2001-10-25 12:28 [#00045318]



True and True! I agree with me.


 

The_Funkmaster from Canada on 2001-10-25 20:24 [#00045500]



Well, I must disagree... I don't want to get into an all out
arguement, but IMO Peter Gabriel is the best songwriter
around... but yeah, this is just opinion, you can't prove
who is better... Peter Gabriel and Richard D. James are the
two most brilliant musicians around, but I think Peter
Gabriel gets the edge just a bit... and Passion is
definately my favorite album...

oh, and where in the world did you hear that Passion wasn't
even written by Peter Gabriel? Unless you can prove it to
me, that is total bull shit... Peter Gabriel wrote the
music, but had lots of help performing it... maybe that's
what you mean...


 

The_Funkmaster from Canada on 2001-10-25 20:31 [#00045502]



Oh, and that's just laughable *hahaha* how you can say that
the RDJ album blows Passion away... now, ICBYD is pretty
close to the genius that is Passion, but doesn't equal it,
so RDJ is definately not... RDJ is good, but come on,
Passion good? No way...


 

Ophecks on 2001-10-25 22:33 [#00045546]



I rather fancy Hangable Autobulb, myself. Arched Maid,
anyone? VIA RDJ? I rest my case, capiche.
