ive heard abit of other stuff, but nothing has been as awesome as drukqs. who here doesnt think drukqs is ultimate, when it comes to like production and progamming that went into the songs. the sounds and drums on this the best. if u dont think so then what is better. |

This album is very well produced, for sure. But I prefer the RDJ album ! |

It is probably the most effort he has put into any of his albums. In terms of range and diversity, as well as complexion of particular songs. It is a timeless beauty. |
||||||||

I cant help but think there was a lot less manual labour put into Confield. And for me the results show, but that's just my stupid opinion. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
no album is as textured, brilliantly dynamic or plain enjoyable as drukqs. best electronic album for sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

druqks is too uneven for me to consider it "the best", the production is stunning for sure, but Confield and Tri Repetae are better (if we take only IDM into consideration) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I agree with _gvarek_.... i thinks its uneven too and so listen to nearly all pf RDJ's other stuff more. I think drukqs tracks work much better in mixes than in context of the album they're on. also, RDJ is consistantly great at programming/production so i don't see drukq as standing out. As for complexity.... on its own it's insignifiicent... i sorta think autechre and squarepousher do "complexity" better. By complexity i mean the degree to which you get into a song over time or its un-ravel-ability. |

there is some real crap on drukqs. I and probably many others think this could have been a magnificent single disc (lets say 75 minutes) release. |
||||||||
|

|
It's perfect except bbydhyonchord. The is the only track I skip nowadays. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

It's the perfect album, I will treasure it forever. |
||||||||

this track is awesome |

lol, by drukqs i meant... um, my version of drukqs : ) Vordhosbn. Omgyjya Switch7. Bbydhyonchord. Cock/Ver10. Mt Saint Michel Mix+St Michaels Mount. 54 Cymru Beats. Meltphace 6. Taking Control. Afx237 V7. Ziggomatic V17. this is what i listen to (ive also got a cd with flow coma, box energy, mangle 11 and run the place red remix, but we're talking about drukqs here). everytime i listen to this its just awesome and amazing. nothing that i know of comes close to the awesomeness of this. (unless of course, you know of something as awesome and owuld like to shed some light : ) ). |

No way! Every track is a masterpiece, except Aussois, Lornaderek and Bit 4. But they sure are a part of this magnificent album, they fit in really well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i disagree, aussois is a joke |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry guys, after a few dozens of listens Bbydhyonchord becomes boring. It's not bad, but not captivating either. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aussois and Lornaderek are jokes...so what. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
xltronic is very pro drukqs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they shouldn't be on the album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I mean, I like drukqs, but i feel people are more into the technical mastery when they say they like it. And it is technically masterful. Lot's of sounds changing and morphing. It would definetly crah my computery. He must have been using a nord or something. Maybe a Kyma. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You don't like jokes I guess. |
||||||||

i would have prefered a single-cd drukQs instead of the double-cd it is... i don't think double albums are too much to take in one listen usually, there are plenty of double albums i love, but drukQs is too much to take - mostly because of the drill'n'bass tracks. and now i still love the piano tracks but i've become bored of the drill'n'bass ones (which even sound somewhat annoying to me now). it's been a while since i've listened to it. maybe years. |
||||||||

haha you say the album is ultimate, but instead of listening to it "properly" you listen to your own compilation of tracks from it? come on... ^^ you've lost almost all credibility with this post. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I feel part of Drukq's brilliance is the fact it IS a 2CD album. The variations between drill and slower/ambient tracks just makes the songs emphasize each other much more. It works wonderfully! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs' :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but you have the variations on the first disc too... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why would I just want those? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's my opinion of drukqs. It would crash my computer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
me. i don't. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the lush vinyl release has the bonus tracks of playing certain songs (e.g. mt st michels) at slower speed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, drukqs is ultimate! sure i make my own version, but have u ever tried listening to what i posted? such a nice fucken collection of awesome tracks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't mean that exactly, sorry : ) just that listening the two discs in a row really doesn't make it for me, too much to digest. (the best track of the album is in my opinion meltphace6, which is on the second disc - even if all in all i prefer disc 1 to disc 2) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer ...i care because you do. and confield. its still plenty good, but as others said, just too much of it. a single disc release of drukqs wouldve been much more solid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's ace no doubt! but untilted is there somewhere as well imo. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think DrukQs is the best, although i agree as an album it doesn't flow very smoothly. i am too late to get the fancy vinyl 17-LP set :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ultravisitor is also and example oif hard/soft mixtures and i think it works far better so na na na na-na... drukqs is too stecato-ish for me.... the beats are too broken for my taste. I prefer rolling drill sounds like (HAB) rather than harsh, cut-off ones.. Love the piano and noise tracks though and st. micheals mount - love that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

it's far from being the ultimate, even in aphex terms. to me it sounds like a gimmick album, the tracks are all good and fun, but it's not really an album, sounds more like he opened a folder, dragged and dropped them onto a cd and sent them off to warp. wasn't this some deal closer album? i hardly listen to it anymore. if it was a game, i'd give the lastability 3/5. |
||||||||

The album is a bit of a haphazard grabbag of tunes, but it totally works, they don't feel like afterthoughts (except for maybe Orban and another tune or two). It was a pretty rewarding experience getting to know the songs, lots of hooks to dig up. It was my favorite electronic album ever for a couple of years and I still dig it. It's my favorite James joint but I don't think it's his quintessential album or anything like that, or even an important album. And it's not really a step-forward or sideways or back, it's like a crazy tap-dance to and fro. |

thinktoys remix does a good job of reducing the album into a nifty digestable slab of aphex for me. Rarely listen to the thing in one sitting myself but do tinker with individual trackspeeds at home in da mix... |

I've probably listened to drukqs more than any other rdj album.. except maybe saw1 it's penultimate imo, though it doesn't contain a good representation of all rdj's work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
idont know whats wrong with two cd's, more cd's=more listening fun (to me that is). I like all the tracks, technically and just simply they way they sound, don't prefer the drillnbass tracks over the rest, i like the two "joke tracks", i simple love Drukqs. Tastes are really different :) (and thank god they are...) |
||||||||

I don't find it impressive at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's funny to imagine your av is saying that. he doesn't look impressed. :-p |
||||||||
|

I don't think Alfred Hitchcock would've liked Aphex Twin, really. I can't be completely sure ofcourse. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I find it very impressive drukqs in ultimate forever!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the ultimate forever, eh? sounds like a ghastly place. |
||||||||
|

drukqs is undboutedly the ultimate album aphex has ever released...for me. don't get me wrong i dont mean to piss over all of his other work but this one combines great melody and drum programing. i could do with out the odd little clips i liked some of the piano works....either way. i know there are people that dislike it for some reasons or other. everything has short comings though, think of your favorite album. i'm sure that it sounds perfect to you, but to me it could be riddled with lots of flaws production wise. i'm really foaming at the mouth for some more of this style of aphex. fenix funk sure did give me more of that as well as the b-side...and a few other tracks from analord. but i really really dig what aphex did on this album and i really can't wait for his next mental venture. |

I like it so much to the point i would defend it as if i were the creator. |

Greatest album of all time. There are plenty of other timeless RDJ albums and melodies, but this was like "the retirement" album. He should have just disappeared completely after releasing this. I can't even imagine how much time went into the drill tracks ... btw, good track to chill out to ... nice tune |
