"?" is a nice track. and this doesn't even come close to what aphex does. overall it's ok though. but not best album of the year or anything or better then aphex. I'm just giving my oppinion. |

some of the songs are pretty damn good, but i think calling it the best album of the year is to grossly over-rate it. but opinions are not bound by any tangible boundries i suppose... |

venetian snares - chocolate wheelchair aphex twin - smojphace Plaid - spokes telefon tel aviv - map of what is effortless (not that good, but still better then dirqual) don't you always say vsnares is overrated? well i can tell you that dirqual is overrated. they are just 2 minute "tracks" with idm tricks in it. thats it. and it's just to aphex wannabee-ish. IT IS NOT A BAD ALBUM. but comparing it to aphex is just giving it to much credit. I have respect for dirqual as a music maker. |

Smojphace??? please....come on be serious... Chocolate Wheelchair possibly up there as well, I don't like it as much as Dirquals efforts but that is more down to taste. Spokes was OK although I have stopped listening to it now. The only way I judge an album is by how much time I spend listening to it. Dirquals has got the most ear time, that's all. Funny how you can call Dirqual overrated though when you have listed Smojphace as better. |

dude, run the place red kicks the whole dirqual album ass. and as for the noise tracks...I don't care those suck. durqual is better then the aphex noise tracks :D |

haha :P Personally I preferred the noise tracks to run the place red, which sounded like a boring, low impact, remix exercise for some sales & publicity for the far superior Bug album. Was Pressure released this year? If so that would be one of my favourites too. |

ok, i've listened to about half of it and so far it's fucking spot on, even if the rest of the tracks are so so, it's still quality |

these are my favorites of 2003: Ween-Quebec Outkast - speakerboxx/the love below Autechre - Draft 7.30 Radiohead - Hail to the Thief Lost in Translation soundtrack but really, the "album" i've been listening to the most obsessively is the Best of BoC mix cd i made. |

right, i skimmed through the rest of the tracks (naughty i know). sounds to me like he's taken elements of everything thats sounded good in the last 4 years (probly sub-conciously) and come out with this killer album, i personally can hear just about everyone thats good in electronic music in there, but it's his own, not just copied. i agree with ecnadniarb |

This is an excellent album. I have been listening for a while now and all I can say is that Dirqual is a great producer, with a very vivid imagination. Those who claim he is an Aphex copyist need to open their ears and quit being so cynical. |

When I said name a better album I knew there wouldbe people who preferred other albums to the Dirqual one...all I was trying to get across is that this is a free album by an unsigned(?) artist and it is difficult to come up with many better releases throughout the year. |

"i'll see if i can copy it at my parents, then i'll be happy to burn it for you surrounded," :-D Sweet! That would be super! Really. I'd be very very thankful. "you dont have adsl than?" Actually i've got a pretty good connection, but i haven't got a cd-burner. I can't properly listen to an album behind the computer. Well I mean I can hear the music, but not really enjoy it. I wanna listen to it in my room and on my discman and stuff :-) My pc-speaker is crap. But it's also just the atmosphere i suppose. I can't relax here and really get into the music. "are you going to the reflex party?" Hm... no... probably not i think, sorry. Har har, i love the christmashat over Mr.Crabs' eyes :-p |
