My post is the one by Joss Classey. I had to post a comment in shock a while back, even though the review was written ages ago. |

i actually totally agree with the reviewer. i'm a massive fan of RDJ, having seen him 9 times now and i still listen to all his stuff...... except drukqs is my least fave and in the ways the reviewer gives. i love the piano pieces though, the "mount st micheal" 2 track too ... but when you hear HAB, SAW, RDJ, ICBYD and all the stuff he plays live, i thinks "drukqs" is poor show overall. but hey.. i'm not too worried about it... specially when his ive stuff is where he shines. |

DrukQs is my fav to date: Everything I want in an album. Oh, KeyFumbler, maybe you should try gettin the vinyl and slowing all the tracks down by 10x. Then you might reverse your opinion ;) |

At times I really think he just made it slow, then sped it up for production print. I'm not sure but I like both ways (depending on the mood, of course). I love how the fast tracks can really whip my emotions up and down like a roller coaster. It is definetely a ride, and once you get some of those fast bits memorized (well, I think it's impossible to totally memorize this album), then if you slow it down and disect it, you will find treasure :) |

done it already!......... i may just do it again though..... i'm still open to it blowing me away after some re-listens. UltraVisitor does for me what i thought Drukws would do.... it just hasn't yet. |

If you are any kind of self respecting experimental electronic fan then you would not be saying any of that. Of course it's down to taste but clearly you are wrong!!!? This is the best album I have ever heard. I'm not joking Drukqs is the best musical arrival that I have seen for a very long time. How can you not be stunned by this work of art by aphex? Seriously what are you on about??? Listen to Drukqs not once but as many times as it takes for you to realise it's beauty! |

I have to say that my opinion is reversed about Drukqs and UV. |

drukqs and ultravisitor are my two favourite albums...i prefer drukqs by just a little. i remember i didn't really get it/like it until after quite a few listens, i started liking it a lot, but then after a year or so, it just suddenly blew me away...i don't even know why...i listened to it from begining to end without skipping any tracks (which i normally do), and i loved it. still do... |

i like Omgyjya Switch 7, Cock/Ver 10, Avril 14th, Mt. Saint Michel Mix+St. Michaels Mount and 54 Cymru Beats maybe the rest has to grow. (not that i dislike it or whatsoever) |

Whether I love it or not aside, I really can't understand how anyone can call Drukqs incoherent or a rehash of old ideas. |

"56 Cymru Beats again, is technically impressive - but again could have easily been released in 1994. " what a load of arse!! |

its not just the tracks on drukqs, its the style of the album. its not a *hits* collection, which could justify the random-ness of the track order, its a full album, (on which he in my opinion displays his finest works) in which the track order has no logical sequence, but then, why the fuck should it? his music has always been his own thing. non-conformist. i personally think its very apt that his finest album has no sense of conformity to it, as it sums up his style entirely. short of personal opinion, who is to say what is right or wrong?? this is a man who doesnt give a fuck what others think. |

Haha I know. Dannn_: I feel the same about that rehash idea... these tracks sound little like anything he, or anyone else, has released before, the album is the benchmark for drill'n'bass (IMO). If anything the album couldn't be more of it's time. |

who cares if its inconsistent. the man took chances, he scored some masterpieces (mt st michael, petiatl cx htdui, meltphace 6, need i say more). be thankful. thats what the program function is for. |

i love many songs on drukqs. even had one played at my wedding. as for the songs i got no love for, that's what the >| button is for. |

It's inconsistent so I made it consistent (cuz i'm a cunt like that). I took the techno tracks and put them on a single CD, the piano ones on another. The Techno CD ends with 'Thank you for your attention, goodbye.' If I want Aphex Acid I play the techno CD, If I want urr.. Selected Ambient Drukqs I play the piano CD, If I want the whole experience I play the vinyl where no amount of picking will reorganise the tracks. I don't care what reviews or anyone else says as I judge for myself but I still read them for a laugh. I hate it when someone says something is shit, bad or wrong but fails to remember that outside of their perspective that means nothing. I don't want to know if Aphex thinks nothing of me because what does that matter. |

If someone other than RDJ released it, they'd all say it's fucking genius. |

|
yep, . I don't blame him for not releasing much. |
||||||||
|

i don't think it's a "perfect" album and i do prefer the second disc, but overall i think it's fucking awesome. and i don't think these two reviewers even understand his music at all... it's great |
