Really took some time for me...can't stand the "gwarek2"-track ....but i finally (after god knows how long) see this as an Aphex Twin release next to RDJ-album and the CTD Ep... :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The melody in St Michel (comes in after 2mins something) is probably the most beautiful Aphex ever wrote. It's stunning! |
||||||||

This reminds me of some of the first posts I made, about whether you grow to appreciate somethings purely through familiarity rather than geniunely liking them. |

i disagree i think that the most beautiful thing from Richie is "On" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I disagree. On is very good though |
||||||||

Drukqs has its moments but I find is difficult listening. A very good record definitely but like a lot of records which I think are more difficult listening like some V Snares and some Pusher you have to be in the mood. I like these records but they are more awe inspiring a lot of the time than truly funky. But I love listening to them if you catch my drift. There is funk in them its just these kinda records are more a listening experience than an obvious dancing instant feel good type one. |

Simon Reynolds summed up drukqs perfectly. Loads of good ideas, but ultimately crap. Not brave enough to commit or pursue. I'll find a link.... |
||||||||
|

Drukqs is an essential part of my CD collection. It's simpy beautiful. The mellow prepared piano tracks complement the harsh drill-n-bass tracks wonderfully. I liked it almost immediately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Ultimately crap" eh. Well I'd take any of the tracks off it over 'Freak', mate. Just my opinion, of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never heard Drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Did you read the review? Drukqs is brilliant but It's too schizo, even within a track I wish it was more brave. Loads of nice ideas but none of them are bult upon. I can listen to a cool loop for 30 minutes easily. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just read your post properly...'freak' is a bit of fun, can't music be fun? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Drukqs is awesome. i loved the first disc for some time and never acutally listened to disc two. after have a listening session i was blown away. i couldn't beleive i never listened to disc two. |
||||||||
|

Not at this forum :/ |

Drukqs is awesome... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs was my first aphex album. It blew me away the first time i listened to it ... and it still does |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked drukqs instantly. and it was my real first idm album, the one that made me discover this place and all the idm style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still remember the day I bought Drukqs and listened to it... it was like total chaos at first, I couldn't make much sense of it... but I soon realized just how precise and ordered it is, and it's awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked it to begin with, but i soon went off it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love 'On' too, but this Michel melody is so sad in a way. At one point, in the beginning, it just thickens up a bit as a new layer is added and..it's just OMG!! :) -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the first time I heard Drukqs I hated it with a passion. But then again it was the first Aphex Twin album I bought, amazing album not such a great starting point though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is fucking amazing. far from ultimately crap. it's a masterpiece of genius. i'd like to see someone do better. i instantly liked it from jynweythek ylow to nanou2. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Man, I listened to Drukqs about 1000 times back in late '01. It never left my discman, never left home without it. Awesome album with a lot of sentimental value for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is correct |
||||||||
|
|

*in best gay chris farley voice* "mmm....that is corrrect!" *rubs nipples* |

|
|
drukqs has a few good tracks on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my favourite album!!! took me some time to get into it, actually i liked it the first time, but started to apreciate it after quite some time... masterpiece! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why are referencing that review like it's the bible, it says nothing that a thousand critics - or should I say nerds - didn't say when Druqks came out. It doesn't even sound like he played it more than twice. It's "too schizo"? I know you like Snares, why not this? And for a perfect example of a great idea built upon see the end of Cymru Beats. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe he meant schizo in sequencing, ie: acid techno to slow piano to danny elfman style drums and treated piano etc. it works for me tho. my radio show pulls the same tricks with genres so i can relate to what RDJ was doing. but i can also see how some people would've preferred if it was broken up by style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs and go plastic are what got me into IDM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Meh, Gwarek2 is probably my favourite track on this album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gwarek 2 is brilliant.. i'm curious to hear parts 1 and 3 if they're finished (RDJ said it's a trilogy) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Am I alone in this, or am I the only one who finds it ironic that a DOUBLE ALBUM OF OUTTAKES makes for the most coherent album of his career ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
uhhh yer liable to get your ass kicked for talking about vordhosbn like that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gwarek2 has the greatest bass ver. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gwarek2 is the only song I can't stand on there! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My Gwarek2 must be a hoax. There's no bass and it's totally shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont really see much coherence in it. it are like four styles of tracks randomly mixed up imo: idm, modified piano, sound experiments and other (like some sort of funky black shit thats on come to daddy too), oh and normal piano |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree with Ophecks. I don't listen to it much now, though. But it's definitely shaped my musical tastes in a huge way. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with myself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so many reviewers say that he's just honking out the same old crap again...if this is true, then where can I find music like what's on drukqs??? for me its completely fresh and unique |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the idm and piano you can find elsewhere, only not that fresh the other stuff i just like listening to once in a while |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Critics are idiots. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
we're critics, or have you never voiced your argumented opinion here? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No I mean critics that make a job/living out of it. Not all of them of course. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The general critic response to Drukqs (and most IDM for that matter) was appalling. They have a right to disagree sure, but their methods of listening to an album and then putting out a review stink. I love Drukqs... but with critics and IDM, as someone has already said, is that if the album doesn't break some new fantastic ground, they bitch. I mean just look at those . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that kinda sucks, too judgementel, it's the problem with reviews: the writer might not like it. I ofcourse hear that the combination of the songs is original as well as is the way aphex made them, but if you dont hear that then it might be just interpreted as unoriginal. i find good reviews helpful and interesting though. |
