This song (the first track from "I Care...") has to be one of AFX's best works. It's just such a laid back but totally in control track - I love all the ultra-lush synths. Nutto. |

it's one of my favorites... one thing I find with drukqs is that, although the synth lines, and melodies and stuff in the songs are nice, the actual sound of the synth doesn't sound as lush I guess you could say, as the tracks on I Care Because You Do... that's one thing I love about ICBYD... the sounds seem to wrap around you almost... although, I'm sure in time Drukqs will have a similar effect on me... |

I agree with both of you. My favourite AFX songs aren't usually mentioned, like Corn Mouth and Metapharistic... and this one we're talking about. I also love the second track on the album. |

See, I love Corn Mouth as well... it's such an intense listen... it's just way too short... |

Drukqs is shit! It'll never sound as good as his old tracks no matter how many times you make yourself listen to it. Hopefully the new MEN releases will be more like it. |

One of my favorites, and it gets no mention ever, is Wax the Nip. It's the shit. That, and the Waxen Pith. I agree, the synths on Drukqs aren't as sweet as ICBYD. |

i love both albumns and dont see any reason at all to compare them. They are individual in their own right. |

Acrid Avid Jam Shred is by far the best afx track released. Not a wasted moment from start to finish - the the high melody line that come in towards the end is outstanding. Played this out in a basement venue a couple of years ago through a pretty loud PA and it sounded awesome. |

How anyone can say Wax the Nip is a good song is beyond me. It's certainly the worst song on ...I Care Because You Do, and probably one of the worst songs he has done anytime. |

Griswald, it is sad to see quite how wrong one person can be. Drukqs is clearly a great album. Don't you even like 54 Cymru Beats? And, by the way, if you're expecting great things from the MEN release, think again. The first track is a fairly decent acid tune, circa say 1990. The second tune wouldn't be out of place on Drukqs. The third, final track is just some crappy computer noise, and is clearly intended to be some kind of nerdy joke. But I only have the recent '2 remixes by AFX'. What else has he, or will he, release on MEN? |

Yeah, 54 Cymru beats is great! there are a few others too but as an album it sucks. It's just too long, the running order is to schizo, ICBYD was schizo but it works. I'm not saying the music is shit just as an album, double CD? That's a bit prog rock for me. I'm sure he could have said what he wanted to say in half the time, then for me it would be a lot more solid. The AFX remixes were retro but still sounded fresh, a great energy about them, I don't really care that I'd heard some of the sounds before, it's the form that is rocking for me. I read that him and tom jenkins will be releasing more tracks on their new label which MEN is the catalog thing, I hope it just doesn't go all prog new age with quadruple concept albums. |

why not? i´d like that ... and you´re right, i also hate the discussion about retro and totally innovative - as long as my balls start to rock off, i don´t care ... (and they won´t stop to rock off to afx ;-A) |

ACRID AVID JAMSHRED. MY ALLTIME FAVOURITE TOO ! THE ONe TRACK THAT completely takes over and by the end has you feeling more complete, more 'In the zone" that and 'Heliosphan'. |

I love the song Start As You Mean to Go On from ICBYD... noone ever mentions that one... I find that the drumming totally numbs your ears, and then when the second synth line comes in, with that full sound, well it's totally amazing to me... I was always fasinated by that track, since the first time I listened to it... it hurt my ears at first, but now I find it soothing kind of... |

I love that one too, Funky. It sounds so old school or something, with the pitch changes and all. That album just tastes good, a full course meal. |
