October2001... at first time i didn't like it... then i loved it and now I like it always more.
A cocktail of Ambient/Drill'n'bass/Classical music/Experimental/etc...
Probably not RDJ best innovative release but anyway a great double album, no doubts.

btw: Gwarek2 and Gery Mernans and Gwarek2 are really innovative and impressive tracks.
Gwarek2 has something to do with Stockhausen music and Co.

One of my favourites, a nice mixed up album but doesnt have a certain feel to it like other Twin albums before it.
But deffinatley one of my favourite albums of all time :)

An excellent sum up of diff styles of earlier work, and some new exciting threads, I think. But then again he has disappointed with the two new mixes and Smojphace. Who knows what will be up next?

usually i don't like drill'n'bass music, instead I love drill'n'bass tracks by Richard D. James.
Which is the difference between a drill'n'bass track made by Squarepusher, Venetian Snare, B. Raczynski and Aphex Twin? Well aphex twin drill'n'bass has SOUL inside.
VORDHOSBN, has a deep soul inside, it's not "DRILL'N'BASS", it's "DRILL'N'SOUL".

all those you named there are doing great drill n bass music, but aphex gives most emphasis on emotion imo
other than that they're all tehnically perfect at doing it

Some of the drill tracks I get tired of, as I always do with AFX's stuff. The rest of the album I love... the ambient tracks, the piano tracks. All great. Some of the faster tracks, though... meh. Don't like.
And there are things like Aussois and Bit4, which are completely pointless. Still, a good album.

it might be incoherent... thats why I wrote (imo)
for some reson I dont think it fits the mood the rest of the album has... I dont know it just dont appeal to me... but I never skip it or anything anyway... I always listen to the whole cd

i had never heard anything electronic except maybe some dodgy trance before hearing vordhosben and it set my standard. i get all nostalgic when anyone talks about drukqs. it wasnt even released that long ago though was it?

druqks sounds timeless to me......at first i must admit i was a bit pissed off with the style.....but now !!!
i love it!!!
has anyone else noticed that said backwards druqks sounds like "scared" ? (ok maybe with a slight accent )

to be honest first time I heard it I thought it was a bit too much, too full on and not coherent as an album, kind of thought 1 disk would have been enough, but I was wrong! I think it shows up 99% of other producers in any genre... it's sweet.

drukqs is my absolutely favorite afx album, and one of my all time faves as well. i first heard this going on a burn ride with a few friends in school and needless to say i was blown away (the only thing close to idm id ever heard before it was kid a). still to this day i listen to it and get all warm and muchy inside. the best tracks imho are vordhosbn, 54 cymru beats, mt st michel, afx... ah fuck it, theyre all the best.
