All the humour and innovation from Aphex's other releases are missing. Flame away but what's next? |

I respect your opinion, but just don't make a new thread about it. Type drukqs in the search box and post this to one of the several other threads of the same sort. Also you are a moron drukqs is great. Actually no, it is far from his best release. I should rephrase that. Drukqs is great electronic music. Not great Aphex Twin. |

Yeah sorry, I didn't read all the posts......I just wondered what people thought now they've had chance to listen to it properly....I'm glad you find something in it that pleases you. |

I like it, but it's definately not his best in my opinion... it's better then most stuff around, but when you compare it to ICBYD, and The RDJ album is just doesn't compare... but still, I'd still probably rank it as the third best Aphex release... so that's pretty good... |

Humor is great, but it's never been the reason for my enjoyment of Aphex. RDJ's music moves me and Drukqs does as much as any of his other releases. I am clueless as to what else people expected from him. The music is fucken raw and delicious. |

I dont really think about bests...but everytime I listen to it (or any RDJ work) I increasingly appreaciate his talent. Not only is it technical talent but its also artistic talent...He's good on many different ranges...more than good... And drukqs aint bad at all...quite good material. |

Despite Druqks not being his best album I still think its on of Aphex Twin´s finer works. Richard D. James revealed in an interwiew with the icelandic "Undirtonar" music mag this album was going to be very old-school so its maybe normal it doesnt live up to its enourmous expectation. He told he had written about 400 new tracks and because he lost one of his macintosh laptop computers(which contained about 200 new songs) on a plane he wanted to put this album out so fast before someone would rip him off and put the whole thing on the internet!! Later in the interwiew he said that he had written a lot of songs that sound like nothing heard before in music so I dont think we have to worry about him loosing his magic touch. I just guess his next album will be the the best ever....... |

i think aphex's eps are his best works -not his albums - with the exceptions of selected ambient works vol2 and... drukqs. and there's a lot of humour in drukqs but it's more hidden and darker... and more mature. |

I like his serious side much, much, much more (ofcourse I love his silly too like Fingerbib, Windowlicker and Funny little man). But the best track he ever made are his more serious ones like Rhubarb, Lichen, Alberto Balsalm, Vordhosbn, Ogyija Switch, Flim, Nanou2, Nannou, The Beaty Of Being Numb, Jynwhetek, Kesson Dasslef etc etc imo :) |

archrival - yes, his more serious tracks are great, i'm also a great fan of the tracks you mentioned, fantastic pieces. some of the greatest things in drukqs are his piano pieces, they're really awesome... bekhu3epnm, kesson dalef, prep gwarlek 3b, petiatil cx htdui, ruglen holon, nanou2. they're original and new, they're serious, funny and beautiful at the same time, as good as the best pieces in 20th century piano music. would be great if there would be an ep. on the new label only with piano pieces by aphex (and also with some more complicated ones). at the same time there are beautiful electronic tracks on drukqs like mt st michel, gwely mernans, meltphase6 and gwarek2... |

I love all those tracks too!!!! I slightly disagree (I dont know how I SLIGHTLY dissagree but I do alright!) about Drukqs though. I think the fast ones make the album. The piano pieces are ok but its the tracks Meltphace, Afx237 V7, Vordhosbn and Cock/ver10 that make it IMHO. |

chris , and that's exactly the nice thing about drukqs - you can make your own album with the favourite tracks. it's not just listening through an album, but choosing tracks, discovering tracks. i really like that about it (i really would have enjoyed the 4CD version of that album!). i only recently 'discovered' meltphace, and it's now one of my favourite tracks of drukqs. maybe it says a lot more about the listener than about the album which tracks are the favourites. perhaps all tracks are equally great. some would say, no, 'drukqs isn't just good', but i say it is just a masterpiece. |

Your right Balthus... I also feel that with the other tracks, the album wouldnt be that special. It breaks it up in a way that makes some of the tracks truely amazing to dive into. If you listen to your favourite over and over, it can lose it's edge a little but with the other tracks involved in the Drukqs album; tracks like Vordhosbn and Ziggomatic V17 (Launch all Zigs) never lose it! Yeah! |
