Drukqs Best/Worst Tracks?
 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-14 17:26 [#00051979]



Yeah, probably been done to death, but fuck it. I want to
know.
Vordhosbn
54 Cymru Beats
Mt St Michel
CockVer10
Those are mine. I LOVE the acid songs, but the piano songs
are quite good, too.

My worst are Gwarek 2 and Qkthr.
Ack, horrible! I acutally like the birthday song, or
whatever. Lorna has a neat voice.

I've only listened to it a little bit... but I already like
Gwarek2, Vordhosbn, Cock/ver10, and Mt Saint Michel & Saint
Michaels Mount is pretty cool...


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-14 20:07 [#00052045]



The girls in Gwarek 2 made my mom come downstairs to ask
what the fuck I was listening to.


 

Stuart Dent on 2001-11-14 21:09 [#00052080]



A similar thing happened to me, actually. I live in
university halls of residence.

A couple of days ago I was listening to Drukqs quite loud in
my room. There were a lot of people in the corridor, all
talking. But then, Gwarek2 comes on, and the corridor goes
silent. Someone started knocking on my door and saying,
"Who've you got in there?!?"


 

Henry from Sweden on 2001-11-14 22:15 [#00052097]



hahaha... maybe i should put it on in the school café at my
highschool :)


 

Neo-Geo-Hippy-Tosser-Yeah whatever arsehole. on 2001-11-15 01:22 [#00052118]



you dont like Qkthr? why>>i thinks its gorgeous honestly,its
so friggin sad...my least favorite is probably Father...i
just dont like it.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-15 01:26 [#00052120]



I like Druqks... I've listened to the first cd, and I'm on
track 5 of the second cd, and I like what I'm hearing... I
just wish I had more time to really sit down and listen to
it closely, rather then while I'm studying and stuff... ah
well, in a couple weeks time, just a couple weeks time!!!


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-15 01:38 [#00052126]



Funky, I guess you didn't download it before it came out? I
did, which kind of takes away from the excitement of getting
it. But I'd go insane if I waited this long.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-15 01:39 [#00052127]

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-15 01:40 [#00052128]



No, I waited... so it's new and fresh to my ears today!!!!
:)

but ya know, maybe I'm totally behind the times and
everybody has already thought about this, but I was reading
a review on Amazon.com that a guy wrote about Drukqs, and he
suggested that maybe Drukqs should be pronounced "Drug
Use"... interesting... maybe that is what it means...


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-15 21:59 [#00052450]



I really like the song Ziggomatic 17 ya know... it's
probably my favorite right now...


 

1010-1111-10 from St.John\\\\, Canada on 2001-11-15 22:01 [#00052451]



aww yeah, i love that metal sounding drum!!!!!!!


 

1010-1111-10 from St.John\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\, Canada on 2001-11-15 22:04 [#00052454]



actually speaking of ziggomatic, does anyone else think or
picture a lighter when listening to this song (dont ask y
but its a strong mental image i get when this is playing!)


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-15 22:41 [#00052472]



I dunno, but in Ziggomatic, at 1:04, it's my favorite part
in music ever. Sounds like the beginning of the song, but...
has something special, I dunno.


 

beetlebum on 2001-11-15 22:55 [#00052476]



Afx237 v7..
fucking wicked track.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-15 23:33 [#00052492]



I was listening to Ziggomatic last night, and I dunno, it
just got my attention... the little tune is nice...


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-16 00:42 [#00052518]



Funkmaster, is ''I dunno'' a maritime thing? We both said it
in our posts. I dunno, is it?
ZIGGOMATIC RULES, MAN! AWESOME DUDE!


 

Andrew on 2001-11-16 01:38 [#00052558]



Meltphace 6 is bloody great. Such a beautiful
melodical/percussive masterpiece.

omgyjya switch7 is also a fucking great track, once you get
past the first few bars of severely disjointed rhythms ;)


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-16 02:02 [#00052566]



I've only listened to it a little bit, but I must say, there
is a lot of stuff on Drukqs that I love already... I like
the very first track, it's nice... I like the little piano
tracks as well... I find it kind of nice having piano songs
following the louder ones... it gives your ears time to
recover!!! :)


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-16 02:21 [#00052581]



Omigaya Switch or whatever makes me horny for some
aggressive sex.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-16 02:24 [#00052587]



I like that track... except the last little bit, it's like
nails on a chalkboard to me... it just sends those shivers
down my spine... UGH!!! :)


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-16 02:30 [#00052597]



I just love this song Ziggomatic v17... it's totally
gorgeous...


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-16 02:30 [#00052598]



like I mean, he even thanks us for listening to it... how
nice huh?


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-16 02:31 [#00052599]



I didn't like it at first, but now I notice all Ziggomatic's
little quirks.
And I love it.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-16 02:32 [#00052602]



Thank you for your attention, bye.
I'm in love.


 

Little Lord Faulteroy from http://www.ampcast.com/psgen on 2001-11-16 02:56 [#00052607]



Right, I've been listening to Drukqs more today (I confess I
didn't pay it much attention up until now) and I've decided
my faves are:

Vordhosbn
Cock-ver10
Avril 14th
Mt Saint Michel Mix+St Michaels Mount
Orban Eq Trx4
54 Cymru Beats
Lornaderek
Qkthr
Meltphace 6
Father
Afx237 v7
Ziggomatic v17
Nanou2

I realise this is a lot of tracks, but they're all
fantastic... if RDJ had chosen those tracks and made them
into a single album I would have liked Drukqs even more. I
think there are too many piano/weird tracks on the album.


 

The_Funkmaster from Newfoundland, Canada on 2001-11-16 03:05 [#00052612]



I'm really really starting to like it more and more with
each listen... it really is an album that grows on you... I
kind of like the piano parts though...


 

m i f f from c y m r u on 2001-11-16 09:29 [#00052656]



my favs have changed weekly since buying the albumn.
currently my fav is st.michaels mount. the aphex way of sort
of organising the confusion half way thru the track and then
letting rip...


 

Robert_Thoth from Houston,Texas on 2001-11-16 11:10 [#00052688]



This is just an opinion:
I kept thinking that something was missing from Drukqs. So,
on a hunch,
I ripped the CD's to .wav files.From there
I used Cool Edit PRO to multitrack the two
CD's. That way, I could listen to the two
CD's at the same time. From the results,
I can say without a doubt that
BOTH CD'S WERE MEANT TO BE PLAYED AT THE SAME TIME.
Maybe it's old news,or maybe I'm only half right. Why don't
you give it a try and tell me what you think?


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-11-16 11:32 [#00052699]



These are my favs drukqs tracks (in random order) withou
many hesitations:

[]Kesson Daslef (Simply a masterpiece)

[]Vordhosbn (It's wonderful and the increasing synth sound
who start at 1'13 minute it's my fav of all album)

[]Cock-ver10 (Very good track)

[]Mt Saint Michel Mix+St Michaels Mount (This is another
wonderful track... good work, Richard!)

[]54 Cymru Beats (Smack, I love this song too)

[]Meltphace 6 (Smack, smack, smack, I love this song more
and more)

The worst tracks are without hesitations, too:

[]Aussois (Bjork or not Bjork I don't see what does it
mean...)

[]Lornaderek (It's funny but these are important seconds
lost, I prefer the music than words)

[]Orban eq trx4 (Why this track? It's too simple for a
genius like Richard)

[]Bit4 (I didn't like bit from hab1, too)

Yours, woofer




 

Krendo from Leicester University on 2001-11-16 13:26 [#00052745]



Bbydynchord is a real groove track. Good name too.


 

Little Lord Faulteroy from http://www.ampcast.com/psgen on 2001-11-16 13:32 [#00052749]



What are you talking about, Woofer? Orban eq trx4 is the
shit... one of the best tracks. It's just simple but
interesting.


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-11-16 14:00 [#00052756]



Little Lord Faulteroy: Every person has his personal opinion
about drukqs. I think to know enough the real ability of
Richard to create amazing music and new style of sound and
honestly I found orban eq trx4 too elementary.
I find the standard of drukqs songs better than orban eq
trx4.

This is my opinion but I could make a mistake.

Woofer


 

Little Lord Faulteroy from http://www.ampcast.com/psgen on 2001-11-16 14:04 [#00052758]



Well, the reason I love that track is the harsh, pounding
beats and the echoing in places. It's only short which is
just right for the track, if it had been longer it wouldn't
have worked.


 

balthus from europe on 2001-11-16 14:15 [#00052763]



woofer - yeah, kesson dalef is awesome. love it, and mt
saint michel, too. my other favourites are gwarek2, most of
the piano, prepared piano tracks... but also the shorter
tracks like voice-tracks, bit4 and orban. of course everyone
has her/his personal selection of drukqs, but that was
exactly aphex' idea about it - to make your own album out of
the 30 tracks. :^?


 

Little Lord Faulteroy from http://www.ampcast.com/psgen on 2001-11-16 14:34 [#00052769]



I think you're onto something there! Probably why there's
the stupid gaps between the songs.


 

trevor on 2001-11-16 14:48 [#00052771]



it looks like just about everyone is ignoring the
piano/prepared piano tracks. why?

i think they are by far the best tracks.

i dont listen to any of the traditional Aphex stuff from
DrukQs.( except for Gwely Mernans)


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-16 16:26 [#00052796]



Woofer...
I agree, Orban seems to simple. I like it, though, the beat
gets me going. I don't know why he didn't put more into it.

Bblyonchord or whatever is really good, but doesn't sound
like it's from ICBYD or something? Doesn't fit AT ALL on
Drukqs.


 

Ophecks from Nova Scotia on 2001-11-16 16:27 [#00052797]



I meant doesn't IT sound like it's from ICBYD.


 

rF from purf on 2001-11-16 16:39 [#00052802]



meltphace 6 is probably my fav afx track ever.


 

REPHLEX~ology from UK on 2001-11-16 16:43 [#00052805]



I am so pissed off, i really want to listen to drukqs but my
mate has nicked it and i'll get it back later today. I NEED
DRUKQS!!!!!!!!!!!

I think im on a come down.....


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-11-16 17:09 [#00052814]



Ophecks: About Bblyonchord and I.C.B.Y.D. I'm agree with
you.
It's a nice song.

Woofer


 

REPHLEX~ology from UK on 2001-11-16 17:13 [#00052816]



Just got it back! :¬)

Mount st. michaels is the one of the beest songs. I say one
of the best because none are the best, but they all are
good. If you see what i mean.


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-11-16 17:18 [#00052819]



REPHLEX~ology:
"Mount st. michaels is the one of the beest songs. I say one
of the best because none are the best, but they all are
good. If you see what i mean."

*
Apart two songs (Kesson Daslef and Vordhosbn), I'm totally
agree with you.

Woofer





 

teapot on 2001-11-16 17:39 [#00052830]

Vordhosbn
Strotha Tynhe
Gwely Mernans

(second half of)Mt Saint Michel...
Kesson Dalef - absolutely amazing
Meltphace 6

Charlie from Vietnam on 2001-11-16 17:44 [#00052831]



I like Gwarek 2, the part where someone's running a stick
along a cage full of budgies, and Meltphace 6, the rest
sucks, you're all bitches.


 

\/\/ooÆ’erAttack!!! from Milan on 2001-11-16 17:48 [#00052834]



Thanx Charlie... we love you.

Woofer
