Drukqs

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-27 22:14 [#00046123]

Im sorry but this double cd is shit - i waited for months
and months to get and spent £15 for it for one good track
(vordhosbn). I realy do think Richard D James is trying to
take the piss to see if loads of people will just buy utter
crap cos of who he is (like me), i dont want a load of poor
piano music or crapy chinese bolloks, i want quality like
girl/boy again. Any1 who says all this shit is good is in
self-denial, cos u know you wouldnt buy it if it was done by
any1 else! All I can say is - OH DEAR

miff from cymru on 2001-10-27 22:22 [#00046125]

i think there's more than one good track on this album.
meltphace 6, cock/ver 10, cymru beats = quality.

fleckothegecko from confield on 2001-10-27 22:24 [#00046126]

actually, i downloaded a few tracks fore i bought it, and i
happened to pick omgyjya switch7, meltphace6, and
b-something-cord. they are the GREATEST SONGS i have ever
heard in my life. i fuckin love this CD(i must admit, some
of the piano tracks are bland, but theyre only a minute). i
also love Cock-Ver10, ALL of the songs actually. they all
hit me in the right spot. so if you dont like it thats fine,
but you dont gotta be a dick and make assumptions on why
people like it. i HATE about half of aphex twins music, so i
wouldnta bought it if i didnt like it. in fact, i hated
windowlicker and most of come to daddy. so my predictions of
this CD were not good. so fuck you, i liek this CD and im
listenin to it right now.

Ophecks on 2001-10-27 22:39 [#00046130]

ZAPD, you're a twat. But we're all twats, don't worry 'bout
it.

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-10-27 23:03 [#00046143]

I agree with Zapd on the fact that a lot of people defending
Druqks might not be doing it if it wasn't RDJ. This album
does NOT need to be 2 CDs. It should have been one small 8
track EP to keep us at bay while we wait for his next
amazing release, (i.e. CTD, ICBYD, RDJA)

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-27 23:04 [#00046144]

Valid point there Ophecks, I've had time to skin up now, but
most of its still sounding shit - i feel stronger drugs are
in order to appreciate it - or is that the self denial
kicking in again?

miff from cymru on 2001-10-27 23:10 [#00046145]

what hve you been listenning to recently zapd? out of
interest.

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-27 23:15 [#00046147]

I've actualy been listening to older Aphex Twin stuff like
Beetles and Milkman - the stuff before he took his self
seriously and the Come to Daddy E.P - Ive also started
making my own music and with thousands of people buying
Drukqs, ive got hope.

katakicks from burialyn on 2001-10-27 23:16 [#00046149]

don't you all feel good about having some new cool
collection of the guy for who's stuff you're desperately
longing?

i bought it on vinyl, cd and mp3'd it. i listen to the
following playlist every morning (which is as good as the
last bits of icbyd)

avril14th
kladfcbung micshk
jynweythek ylow
strotha tynhe
hy a scullyas...
kesson daslef.
btoum roumada
father
petiatil cx
ruglen holon
beskhu3pmne
nanou2
prep gwarlek
vorhosbdn

for the others i always go one by one... it's just too much
listening all through (i think listening to the lp one side
a day is ok too) but all of the 2 cds in one ride is way too
much to comprehend.... ;)

cheers

miff from cymru on 2001-10-27 23:19 [#00046151]

i reckon he made mikman and beetles for a laugh. if that is
what influences you try mike flowers pop or afroman. whoops
you probably got that one on already while you wre skinning
up man.

Intruder from chicago on 2001-10-27 23:21 [#00046152]

i love the new work, for the most part. i just think the
album shouldve bee arranged differently.
maybe disc one couldve been called the "evil" disc,
containing all the songs with actual BEATS.
Disc two, called the "heavenly" disc, containing all the
piano and miscellanious tracks.

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-27 23:22 [#00046153]

i prefer the music when he KNEW it was shit, not now he was
taking the piss out of us intead of with us.

miff from cymru on 2001-10-27 23:27 [#00046154]

so many people like this album on and off this message
board. i cant wait until he's not taking the piss, its gonna
be some album.

katakicks from burialyn on 2001-10-27 23:28 [#00046155]

i'm sure he still just makes music for fun and living, he
doesn't need to care bout things we have to. but it's still
awsome.

imagine what'd happen had he put his face on the two discs
if there was the 'angelic' disc with richard d. jesus
and the 'devilish' disc with richard devil james
(richard=devil=jesus ?)

spooky. i like it the way it came out. it's personal. like
it was YOU who just found
an md with 3123 afx tracks on it... we'd all love to, no?

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-27 23:35 [#00046157]

I'd love to have his life - make music all day long and it
doesnt even matter if its shit cos people still buy it.

Aphexking from Near Portsmouth on 2001-10-27 23:37 [#00046158]

I think the album is excellent with some cool tracks on. I
think the album is for a true Richard D James fan. It is
much different to his other stuff, that is what I like about
the guy, trying out different styles of music.

Any one going to the WARP RAVE in November?

miff from cymru on 2001-10-27 23:38 [#00046159]

all of us are really naive but you can hear what it really
sounds like...

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-27 23:40 [#00046160]

CANT YOU ALL SEE HE'S TAKING THE FUCKING PISS - LIFES TOO
SHORT TO TRY TO BE MESSED UP AND LIKE SHIT ANY1 CAN MAKE.

katakicks from burialyn on 2001-10-28 00:07 [#00046167]

why are you still awake? didn't your mum tell you to sleep
by now?

nobody even cares how much better music than aphex can you
can make...

go to sleep. listen to r. kelly or whatever

ZAPD from Cornwall on 2001-10-28 00:15 [#00046171]

Actualy I listen to nails down blackboards REGULARy on my
new c.d, that abstract enough for you?? Dont get me wrong, I
love Aphex but im not an avid fan of his new work. SORRY

xepha88 from up above on 2001-10-29 00:25 [#00046463]

hrmm~~

well i can most certainly say that i did not like this new
album that much at first either, but of course many of the
songs have been growing on me.

and i realized last night why i was so disappointed in the
album... it was just becuase I was expecting something
completely different: like more hard hitting fast paced
aphex twin.

granted that there are some songs like that on this album...
and granted that there are some songs that seem to be purely
ambient pieces (not the kind of music you'd chill to), i
realized last night as I listened to this artist who i've
seen on mtv, heard on underground dj radio stations, seen
make videos with a monster screaming at an old lady-- this
man who has written all of this electronic music turn around
and release an album with tracks that are 100% piano. and
of course it's not just the fact that he plays the piano,
but that it is just yet another tool he uses to express
himself musically. and he doesn't give a fuck what everyone
expected him to release, just what he wanted to release (or
at least I hope).

well~~~ that's all.

welcome to your doom from redondo on 2001-10-29 03:47 [#00046506]

I love this album, and all the people who "hate" it don't
understand what aphex twin is all about... this cd is
composed of shit that he had on his hard drive from earlier
times... he didn't give a shit about what you thought about
it. he likes the tracks obviously and that's all that
matters to him, and that is really all that matters to me- i
could listen to any type of music as long as the person
making it was sincere about it. you can tell about that,
and you can tell that rdj likes these tracks. on
windowlicker he almost went pop for a moment but he came
back with a double CD of UN-RADIO-PLAYABLE songs that have
nonsense names to further confuse people and make them hate
him... it almost seems like he likes it when people hate
him- wtf you think come to daddy video was all about? to get
a laugh and piss people off. so if you are pissed at
Richard D. James then he is laughing at your ass,
muthafucka. whenever an artist does something different or
weird with their art, then everybody makes a huge fucking
deal over it... if the artists all stayed the same then
where would newer better things come from?

so, to conclude, I love drukqs and if you don't, then piss
off, you cunts.

rF from purf on 2001-10-29 04:17 [#00046516]

i liked drukqs the first time i heard it, and i still like
it after the ~25th listen. if it wasn't an aphex release, i
would have bought it, because i really like the piano
pieces, and the drill pieces are interesting enough to hold
my attention for 7-8 minutes each (eg. ziggomatic 17).
but fucking hell, you like it or you don't, don't try to
make other people like/hate it...

^^greenranger^^ from not here on 2001-10-29 04:25 [#00046517]

when i first heard it, i was pretty surprised with the piano
stuff too. but after a few times listening i learned to
appreciate it. it so original.. i really can't imagine
anybody else coming up with something as good as drukqs just
because of his originality and his broad range of music he
creates. for instance compare Come to Daddy Pappy Mix with
Avril 14th. this guy is awesome. there isn't one song by him
i don't like. i might have taken a little while to get used
to but you learn to appreciate it.

rF from purf on 2001-10-29 04:29 [#00046518]

only tracks i dont really like (but still listen to them cos
they're short):
father
aussois
lornaderek
bit4
but i guess they could be listened to as spacers or
something

Fick from Laguna Niguel, CA on 2001-10-29 04:36 [#00046519]

So many people think that they know what Richard is all
about. Thing is, if you did know, you wouldn't be coming up
with assumptions and making shit up that no one knows
whether it's true or not. First off...Rolling Stone can
kiss my ass. To give an album such a lame rating (and even
a rating at all) is like putting a rating on art. The thing
about this is....YOU DON'T. The opinions of others is what
is so great about an album, but when it comes from some
idiot at Rolling Stone who thinks he knows music and
encourages others to do the same based on his opinion needs
to get his/her head outta their ass. Richard has paved the
way for so many DJ's and other artists that those artists
don't even know where their inspiration is coming from, due
to the fact that they try and make something that THEY think
people will like. I saw a post on here about people not
listening to the radio anymore. Who needs the radio when
you can listen to what YOU like than what OTHER people like.
Bands like Limp Bizcutt, Sugar Ray, and other bands with
ego prob's need to wake the hell up and make something
different. I've only been listening to Aphex Twin for about
four years. In this period, I've found out shitloads of
things about why I like him: no one knows about him here in
Southern Cali, his stuff is tough to find, that and there is
just something about his music that I like...although most
of his songs to me sound unbearable to listen too. Other
than that, I don't really know why I like his music so much.
I never really knew that Richard could play the piano, I
mean the grand type. I found the album very interesting,
yet I do agree that it should have been stuctured
differently, having a piano solo followed by hard beats is a
little odd. If Richard put together an album from shit that
was taking up hard drive space off of his computer and
slapped it on an album to satisfy WARP, I don't understand
why he's want to create a shitty album (to him anyway) that
is marked by his lable, Sire. Seems like a contradiction to
me, and that would be just plain stupid, and RDJ is anything
but. I didn't know what to expect from his new album. I
did know that whatever it would be, I would accept it simply
because it was done by Richard, and I don't know if that's a
good thing or a bad thing, i suppose I will always be in awe
of of his work, it is unlike anything that I have ever, or
will ever hear.

inverng on 2001-10-29 06:49 [#00046553]

he doesn't play the grand. he triggers it via midi.

Its one of those pianos that you can like get stuff for and
make them play tunes by themselves and stuff.

also, i don't think rdj thinks too much about making albums
than songs, which may explain why so many people complain
about its irratic behaviour. personally i don't really care,
the songs (which matter - although granted it is ANOTHER
theory blah bla..) are fucken a ..

marble from madness on 2001-10-29 10:39 [#00046629]

Hey ZAPD !

Is that you Richard ?

I don´t know but anyhow I feel about it that way.

Anyhow - I like drukqs very much.
I found the piano trax very interesting.
When I first listened to drukqs I didn´t understood
what he wants to say with them and the whole time I tried to
compare them with his older releases.

In the end I realised. That is wrong.

Don´t start comparing.

Listen without prejudice !

This is my advice !

I don´t care if he release some old or some new trax.

I take a look of what comes over and to me there are a lot
of good feelings when I´m listening to drukqs. The album is
also very melancholic and dark but that shows once again the
variety of his art.

Life is about the good and the bad.

Richard shows that in his compositions and I like that.

I buyed drukqs last friday and listened to it the whole
weekend and I just love that album.

It´s anyhow right that Richard musically took one step back
!

So what !

Richard has started to go back to the roots.

Isn´t that the best thing that could happen ?

Sometimes you have to take one step back to get ahead.

Maybe he will come up sometime with something completely new
that blows everyone away.

Who knows ?

So come on you cunts

LET´S HAVE SOME APHEX ACID
