I just listened to this album again. It's still stunning four years on. I'm surprised Aphex seemed so...un-enthusdiastic about it in interviews, it's seriously amazing quality. The drill tracks render a lot of stuff in a similar vien today utterly boring, with their haunting melodies and weird buildups and structures. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
mmm. yes.... taking control. quality tracks. too soon for the modern man, some day... they will learn. |

I'm glad you made this thread. We need to appreciate drukqs a lot more. It's clearly the best album ever. |
||||||||
|

It's certainly my favorite Aphex album. The atmosphere is really powerful; I love how it blends a very dark, emmotionally satisfying atmosphere with great technical skills. |
||||||||

|
|
i agree with aphex |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
this is my favourite electronic album because of how acoustic it sounds. |
||||||||
|

thats just te stupidist thing i've ever heard.. |
||||||||
|
|

Then you obviously haven't heard many stupid things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

then you don't get it. |

i keep on hearing stupid things.. |

you meant "druKQs" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs is superior. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs is good. ICBYD is better than Drukqs. SAW 85-92 is the best Aphex album. (And there ends today's comparative / superlative lesson) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO WAY!!!! ICBYD is no way nere the quality of drukqs not even half as good as DrukQs and I dont even like drill n bass that much. But seriously Aphex killed the whole genre drill n bass with Drukqs. He totally murdered competition (except maybe some Snares and Squarepusher). After that album I thought "uh this is it, where do we go from here, u cant make a more complex drill album". But seriously dont get me wron but ICBYD sounds dull today, I even played that album to some of my friends who are into chill music, trip hop and techno and they think it sounds dull. Those dudes hate drill n bass but think Druks is the SHIT!! and can see that people love even that they love it. If Drukqs was released now it would be AMAZING (its a timeless album). |

oh god another drukqs topic guys, go shag something (and not your analord case) |
||||||||

I know a lot of the _ICBYD album is really old tracks dating as far back as 90-91, but some of those tracks are shit. Its a classic album but a bit overrated imo. It has 2 flawless stunning tracks tho. 1. Acrid Avid Jam Shred = Dope track a 4/5 2. The Waxen Pith Listen Listen Listen nice 4/5 3. Wax The Nip Listen Listen Listen good 3/5 4. Icct Hedral (Edit) Listen Listen Listen 4/5 5. Ventolin (Video Version) Listen Listen Listen 2/5 6. Come On You Slags Listen Listen 3/5 7. Start As You Mean To Go On Listen Listen 3/5 8. Wet Tip Hen Ax Listen Listen 4/5 9. Moo Kid Listen Listen 4/5 10. Alberto Balsalm Listen Listen 5/5 11. Cow Cud Is A Twin Listen Listen 3/5 12. Next Heap With 4/5 its a really strong and good album but _Drukqs have more 5 of 5 tracks imo. |

drukqs blew my mind when it first came out but now it doesn't really hold up like the other albums do. its almost as if the gimmick is spoiled knowing when what is coming. don't get me wrong it's an amazing album but these days its just bleh. i wish i could go back to when i first heard it, those were great times, i would be at work all day with omgyja switch playing in my head waiting for the moment to get back, spark one up and listen to it again. |
||||||||

I agree with you... It was the first Aphex's album I bought and it's still 1rst in my playlist!!! Vordhosbn = Best track ever |

i really like druqks, my mate doesn't like 'drum machine' but it makes me laugh, i think it';s a high coo! druqks holds for me all of the moods i have for aphex music appart from the minimal stuff of SAW> and there is a guy who uses a lot of the piano melodies in bbc documentaries i think. which is nice. next to druqks i just listen to all his other stuff but mostly i listen to druqks. i am very pleased with it and i can't believe it's been 4 years already. i have just recieved his new stuff on vinyl, yet to listen to it all through, but i find that for the cheapest of his fans (appart from d/loading it all- which i don't favour) it's a bit expensive as there are quite a few of them. i hope he brings all the tracks out on cd soon. i'm happy! |

||||||||
|
|

Typical Drukqs review. Stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
instant reply: i only liked a couple of tracks when i first got it and it took me four years to fully appreciate it. it's still not 'the best album ever released'. i know you're all craving for my list of favourite tracks, so here goes: 1. petiatil cx htdui - one of my all time favourite aphex mega super duper ultra top ten tracks. seriously. 2. nanou2 - another one of his self-indulgent piano pieces and fucking brilliant! 3. vordhosbn - (!!!) 4. mt saint michel + saint michael's mount - nice one. 5. gwely mernans - the lost sawii track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer Richard D James Album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that review is stupid, i havent heard anything like drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is great because its so diverse. its in my top 5 alltime albums |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
stupid 17" x 12" box, and now this ridiculous folder. next thing he'll be bringing out his own aphex wardrobe to especially designed to store the fucking things in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is the best eletronic music release ever i want the limited aidophile edition, if anyone wants to sell it to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His whole collection of releases is an art piece. Every album is a statement. I like drukqs, but I think it would have been better with some more pretty break downs. Like the girl voice in mount st. michels. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always thought that was richard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no it's his girlfriends little sister. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have a hard time listening to Drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't forget the surfboard! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Druqks is a bit erratic. A little one demensional to me. I'm enjoying the Analord struff more. I find them more pleasant, even if they aren't as dazzling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs is just the most ambitious thing he has done. technically perfect. complex as hell and just lush. yeah I think it's his best work. but sometimes (most actually) I enjoy more listening to some of his other work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
earthleakage is good at making richard laugh >_< |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
druqks 1/2 come to daddy richard d james album are my favs! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think drukqs was pretty weak. When I heard it all the way through, I was like "this is what I was so exited for???" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would have been one of the best albums ever had he selected the best piano/acoustic/ambient tracks and left all the drill tracks on one 78 minuite trip rather than have it on two CDs imho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is shite. maybe if it was the 1st aphex twin album you bought it is your favourite. it stinks. SO much better stuff out... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Care to explain why you hold that view? I think some of it is more accomplished than anything else he has released, and a lot of it is filler. |
