i think this is one of aphex twins best tracks. i like the first minute the best. the melody is so far beyond fantastic. with the build from the rain and thunder makes so emotional. this track is beyond music. it is beyond art. this track truly show aphex twins genius. i love how emotional the first minute is. i wonder if aphex meant for that, or it just worked out that way. |

yeah you know, I wonder sometimes if he actually rights his songs with a lot of feelings, or if he just puts some notes together to create a nice melody... I guess it doesn't matter... |

drukqs is an incredibly sterile album. by that i mean it has no emotion. i really doubt there was emotion intended in on, that it just worked out that way. but thats just what i think, i could be wrong... hopefully i am. |

I suppose it doesn't really matter what he intended, as long as we get something out of it... but it does seem like he writes his music for good reasons... but that he chooses the songs for albums for maybe not so good reasons... like with Drukqs, I'm sure he probably wrote the songs with good intentions, but maybe he did choose the particular songs for the album just to satisfy his Warp contract... who knows... |

"drukqs...has no emotion" I definately disagree... At first I would have agreed with you, but as I got more into Aphex Twin I found that some of the harder Aphex tracks really do have emotional parts. I used to only like the happy melody aphex but now my horizons have definately expanded. Not just in AT but in a lot of other electronic music especially squarepusher. Some of the abrasive stuff holds hidden beauty if you know what I mean. Vordhosbn, Omgyja Switch, Cock/Ver10, 54 Cymru beats, all have emotional parts, to me, in them. I guess a song affecting you is a personal thing. I think it depends on your life, how much you have listened to something, and what kind of person you are...btw don't get me wrong I love 'on'. It's one of my favorite tracks |

about drukqs and what i think. i think that he intentionally made every song sterile on purpose. he did this with much skill and purpose. he also did this to say "fuck you!" to warp, see as it is his last album with them; he said in an interview he is glad he is done with warp. about on: i think that the important thing about on is the fact it evokes the great emotions it does. the fact that richard did or did not intend that, is completely irrelevant. on probably stirs something in the subconscience that makes you feel the emotions. |

Vordhosbn moves me in a way that I didn't think possible from such a hectic track... |

I agree with the Mutant that Drukqs is rather sterile compared to the very emotionally rich work of his past stuff. a lot of the faster tracks are the most emotionally neutral tracks he has released. a lot of the more potentially emotion tracks seem half finished. i'm sorry to say that the plain piano tracks must go over my head because they still sound amateur... cd 2, track 4 is a nice dirge, but uncomplet, with then goes into the utterly bland Meltphace. It lacks the conflict and beauty of"Evereyday" , "4" and "Girl/Boy", the over the top fun of "Milkman "Children Talking",", "Come to Daddy", and "Windowlicker". i hope that is really true, that he is saaving some killer stuff for his next phase, but that is b.s. that people keep claiming Richard tried to put out a bad record on purpose to fuck Warp... he has pride. |

and really, how can a listener tell if the composer wrote the particular piece of music with emotion or not? Whether or not it evokes emotion in the listener doesn't have anything to do with it... The composer could just have different views on what is touching, on what is emotional and stuff... I've always found it annoying how reviewers judge a piece of music and say that it's "Emotionless" or something... how the hell do you know... all that matters is whether or not it effects you personally... |

but if it doesn't effect you personally, that doesn't mean it has no emotion in it... |

Well an exception to my rule: I don't think Quoth could possibly affect anyone emotionally in any way. |

but you are right. each song can evoke different emotions in each person. i, pesonally, find that every track on drukqs to be sterile and without emotion-- but to that i find genius in it all. every track on drukqs i enjoy very much, as i play the album very often. |

Vordhosbn is a really nice track thou, and 54 Cymru is cool as fuck at the end. the music box sounding ones are cool too. Gwerly mernans makes the bass kick, i've had a vague song like that in my head for years, and the one after, track 7, is short but one of the nicest tracks for me, the nicest melody on the record maybe. |

yeah Quoth is totally annoying... maybe RDJ was just mad or something... :) yeah, I personally think Drukqs is very good... some of it I still haven't fully digested and totally gotten into yet, but that will happen over time I think... I'm listening to Girl/Boy Song now... what a beautiful song... the drumming and the string parts totally compliment each other perfectly... I remember I heard this song on the radio here in town, on the MUN station, years ago, before I had any idea who Aphex Twin was, and I liked this song then... |

one thing I like about Drukqs is that a lot of the songs start off seemingly unorganized... then towards the end they come into focus... Ziggomatic is a perfect example of this... I love that song... |
