I know this topic has probably been done before, but I felt
like making a thread for the first time. So, the hell with
it.
List one, if you please...The one album you would
theoretically bring if stranded on a remote island that for
some reason had a cd player and electricity on it... You
know... Yeah.

I thought that was going to be vinyl only... I specifically
said you would have a "cd player"...or is that your whole
point, Slick?

No thanks. I'm on someone else's computer right now, and
don't want to go meddling about.

Interesting that you say that. I had most songs from both
that album and e.p. downloaded, but I actually bought each
the other day and am now strangely a bit disapointed in them
each as a whole. I like the weirder little bits alot, but
the more straight "techno-ish" type songs (eww... I hate the
term) are a bit borning in my opinion when compared to some
of the older material or Drukqs.
I really love Girl/Boy, Milkman, and Fingerbib, though.
Maybe the rest just needs to grow on me a bit more.

it probably will grow on you. i wasn't in love with it at
first, i was like you, was only really fascinated with
girl/boy, fingerbib, goon gumpas and 4. (i have the UK
version). but i came to love it's unique sound, no other
album sounds like it. it's so ahead of it's time. the music
world will probably catch up on it in the year 6007, or
maybe not. maybe it was an alien signal send to earth in
1824 and richard dug it up accidently in his back yard.

well the point is, it's just sound awesome to me.

Interesting. I'll give it more of a chance.
Is there any difference in versions, because I bought mine
used. (But it is most definitely the U.K. version.)
Perhaps there is an ultra rare Japanese version with a few
added tracks that are really nothing at all.
It seems many artists release albums with a few more tracks
on the Japanese version. Maybe the population in general
there prefers quantity of tracks over a tight, connected
quality whole of an album.
Hmm.

After doing some research, I have come the the conclusion
that I do in fact have the american version, and it just has
a few additional tracks from the Girl/Boy ep, which isn't a
bad deal at all.

Please tell me what version of the RDJ album has "more
straight "techno-ish" type songs" on, I'd love to hear that
one.

I wasn't saying that one version has more of that type of
tracks (though the american version has a few more songs,
which are basically just a few more mixes of Girl/Boy) I was
saying that I prefer the weirder type tracks of the real
tracks of the R.D.J. Album (U.K. version) compared to the
more electronic-sounding or "techno-ish" songs, on either
version. But if you haven't bought the album yet, I would
suggest buying the american version if you don't feel like
buying the Girl/Boy e.p. as well. But if you already have
the U.K. version, just buy the Girl/Boy e.p. if you want
those extra songs, because as AlbertoBalsalm pointed out,
the american version of the R.D.J. album is the same as the
U.K. version but with the Girl/Boy e.p. also tacked onto the
end.

Phew!

Today it'd have to be a draw between:

Animal Collective's "Sung Tongs"

and

Max Tundra's "Mastered by Guy at The Exchange"

did you actually have a point? everything you said seemed
to be going round in a circle or already said

drukqs is my favourite album currently, but if i were to
take a cd to a desert island, i'd take the braindance
coincidence, cos its a bit more varied.
