yet another drukqs review

i just thought i might type this up...

Famous for not really giving two shits about what anyone
thinks about him or his music, Richard D. James has
delivered a double CD that sounds curiously like Richard D.
James. Drukqs is classic Dick: tinny, frenetic, and
hard as hell at times; soft melodic and strangely creepy at
others. Killer comes in longer tracks like the angelic 200
BPM'er Mt. Saint Michel, while filler lies in 18 -
yep, 18 - ambient episodes that all clock in under the three
minute mark. Scraps emitted from Selected Ambient Works
II
perhaps? Basically, it comes down to this: No one is
making music like Richard D. James is because nobody can,
and while the Aphex Twin sound hasn't changed very much in
nearly ten years, it's still twenty ahead of its time.
