Anyone ever think that Richard will come forth with a high quality album such as this again? I'm sorry, but I can only stomach 4 or so songs on Druqks.
What are the chances...?
discuss?

i don't think so....but again, he said that he had hundreds of songs similar to "bbhyonchord", which is not only the best track on druqks, but it also reminds me of the ICBYD-era.

Thats true. In all honesty, I think some of the best stuff he's got is on the Caustic Window diddly dang.
But bbhyonchord was never really one of my favorite tracks, but I see where your coming from.
I think one of the only reasons I actually bought Druqks was for 54 cymru beats and Gwely Mernans.

Ah! It was my first RDJ too!
I actually like Ventolin though, theres something soothing in those brain scratching noises.
But my favorite track is "Come on you slags!"
Makes me think of....ninja's. DONT LAUGH.

I would love to hear more stuff from Richie rich in the same calibre as "The Garden of Lin Miri" (Industro Garbage beats 1, I think) and "Hedphylem" (sp?)

I likes it I's do. Took me a while to appreciate it. For a while I could only stand a third of the songs.. but now I like all of them. Alberto Balsalm is an absolutely perfect song. From beginning to end.

icbyd is quite dark with a 'lurking in the shadows' quality - it has an element of space which i appreciate more than say rdj - having said that, recently i have tapped into the essence of rdj album.

I think RDJ's gonna go to Nirvana, or someplace else and talk to Buddha or ghandi and have a revelation.
Then, The "Album" of all AFX Albums will be born.
And it shall change our shower music forever.

I Care Because You Do was his best. Had the coolest, most effortless feel out of all of them. I love Drukqs, but he was trying way too hard.

Thast true. Drukqs had some sort of Hollow effort to it. Like he was trying to look Mysterious...like those damned Goth kids at the skinny puppy concerts..

He was trying too hard on Drukqs? What a load of pap... how can you try too hard by putting out an album that's part drill'n'bass mastery, part ambient experiment and part minimalist piano? I love it, and if you don't you're expecting from music instead of letting it consume and surprise you.

I'm just saying he was trying to hard for what its worth, dont get me wrong the album took Skill, but it had no depth. It couldnt keep me interested.

I wasn't expecting another ICBYD or even another RDJA. Or a SAW2, or a CTD. Or ANY sort of comination of random, meaningless letters. But there was nothing surprising about the music. Just solid. I loved it. But it left a bad taste in my mouth, a taste I can't quantify or put into words. Nowhere near as fresh as ICBYD. It almost sounded as if he were going through the motions, despite the fact the album has Caesarian ambition. Why? Beats me. It either wows me, or it doesn't. A lot of the drill and bass did not wow me, or I felt like I'd heard it before, a lot of the piano tracks weren't impressive, and the ambient experiments were not high quality. But I guess it's all subjective.
At the end of the day, it's still my second favorite AFX LP.

I just really wish he would come out with somethign that has the feel of his older stuff. His evoltion was destructive.
