I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I just picked this up from the virgin megastore and i do believes these two tracks are awesome. The perfect cure for music listeners with ADD. Just boggles my mind and makes me bounce my head. I guess this could just be my first impression, but it is a good one nevertheless. Last track a little weird, but I'm sure Richard just couldn't live without putting a ear hurting track in there. Looks like Richard has been hard at work, and like usual, good work at that. |

They dont have titles, but they are remixes of 1)Coma Flow - 808 State 2) Box Energy - DJ Pierre ('when I took that E....' one with the spoken bit) Review below from a website - who agrees?? FROM THEMILKFACTORY.COM After four years of near total silence, Richard D. James, once the most prolific musician of the country, is back with an epic double album. Not since the magnificent Selected Ambient Works 2 had James offered so much new music in one shot. The comparison, however, stops here. If Drukqs is similar bric-a-brac of sounds, it also sounds as if two albums were running in parallel, with tracks from each one playing alternatively, sending the listener on a roller coaster of impressions and expressions. In fact, James seems torn between the quiet ambiences of Selected Ambient Works 2 and the apocalyptic drum machines of the Richard D James LP. Drukqs constantly alternates between tensed constructions and abyssal moments of atmospheric calm, without warning or obvious link in between. The main problem with Drukqs resides in the fact that James still suffers with acute Squarepusherite. If Tom Jenkinson’s fast forwarding drill’n’bass has always retained a good level of interest thanks to its jazz connections, James has never really managed to create a digital equivalent. His clever electronic constructions remain too often overshadowed by a wall of strenuous drum overflow. Here, some of these tracks actually display some elements of soul, as in the funky 54 Cymru Beats or the acid ridden Meltphace 6, but they are in minority. When he drops the bullshit, James’s genius for melodies and sound organisation is intact. Whether it is on peaceful piano tracks (Strotha Tynhe, Avril 14th, Father, Petiatil Cx Htdui), abstract ambient (Btoum-Roumada, Gwely Mernans, Gwarek2) or more upbeat moments (the beautiful Bbydhyonchord, reminiscent of his Polygon Window days), James becomes once again the creator he once was. The album remains however too disparate and severely lacks of direction. One would be forgiven to think that it is a case of Warp getting increasingly impatient about new Aphex Twin material, and James throwing in a handful of tracks lifted from his legendary enormous catalogue. If Drukqs is nowhere near as painful as its predecessor, it still doesn’t compare with his best work. There are enough moments here to prove that Richard D James still is one of the most creative musicians on the planet, but too often, he lets slip some incredibly weak tracks through. Only the next step in the Twin’s adventures will tell if the man has definitely lost it, or if this was only a bad patch. |
