the style he was using at the time was quite whimsical and playful, Logon Rock Witch, Donkey Rhubarb, To Cure A Weakling Child for example. Im not really a big fan of this and it always taints my appreciation of that time a little bit. |

Not at all, I loved it at the time and I love dusting it off every few months. It was also probably the most interesting album release I've lived through, lots of controversy, exciting hype and interesting fallout. |

How can you have something against whimsical and playful? That's like having something against kittens and sunshine. I really like kittens, and drukqs |

drukqs was an album that people either loved or loathed. i remembered waiting for it forever, then getting it the day it came out, and having to go somewhere else besides my local indie store and then-venue to get it, because they didn't get their shipment. there are many stand-out tracks, "54 Cymru Beats" is one of the best Aphex tracks EVER, but I didn't find myself listening to it as often as RDJ album or ICBYD. I don't know why, but it didn't grab me as much. But I still like the album. |

drukqs is an editing masterpiece. It's like a guitar solo. Actually, Windowlicker is his best editing masterpiece, but you know what I mean. |

Druqks is great, much better than icbyd. |
||||||||

Hell yeah. He went from unparalleled genius to average/boring/uninteresting. autechre too. otto von schirach will never be stopped though. |

Drukqs is my favorite album ever. |

Drukqs is fantastic. I really liked Alberto Balsalm (and because of it, ICBYD) a couple of years back, but now it sounds bit sparse and repetative compared to the vast majority of Drukqs. I do like his early stuff (SOSW for example is still my favourite basic/minimal techno album), but it, like Analord, now sounds like it's made out of loops and lacking detail compared to drukqs. |

I find Drukqs boring. Yeah, it is a lot of programming and stuff - but that doesn´t make it good! The only strong track on that release is avril 14th. It´s all the same with Windowlicker - a rather basic melody with weird voices and programming = boring. I like RDJ's basic melodies which are good on it´s own - those who blows you away WITHOUT any stuff around them to make them more "interesting"... (like "actium"! :D ) (Yeah, I´m an oldtimer, I´ve been into his stuff since 92. "Drukqs" must have been a great record for all newbies and for RDJ getting more fans though - there´s a lot who discoverd him with this record it seems?) |

analords are ok, some excellent tracks but also quite a few weak ones. althoough even those are way more interesting to the new boc :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i rarely listen to drukqs compared to analord, saw, rdj, icbyd i do love the piano tracks and "mount st micheal" but i think the beats are too clanky on most of the other heavier tracks. .. the beats on HAB and his live unreleased stuff are much nicer. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but drukqs is waste of space plus analord is waste of money. drukqs could've been 1 cd and analord....less lps. |
||||||||

BEST ALBUM EVER, by any artist, MASTERPIECE< WILL NEVER BE REPEATED, yeah |

How is it possible to get bored by non-linear progressive music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
obara is spot on !!! druqcktzs had bout three good songs on it (dont give me the prepared piano bit...so many have done it so much better before) analord had two good songs in it "cilonen" and "fnxfunk10" or whatever the hell that weird name was both seemed like bad sales tactics to me (yes im aware of the interview where he said rephlex didnt make much money off analord - but that doesnt mean i believe him - just like i dont believe that he doesnt listen to brian eno) |

fcuk NO ! |

|

what are u on about 'sales tactics' !!! bollocks. and "fnxfunk10" you cant even name the fucking song! shows how much attention you have paid to the release. have you fuck listened to all of drukqs and analord. and you here being critical of someone elses effort! baffling. |

funny.. we can even get mad about this |
||||||||

I agree to some extent. |

Only the first time I listened to it. I still know some of the tracks by heart after two years of not hearing it. I don't think anyone should be disappointed by art. It's what it is, what the artist made. Your perception of it is a separate thing. You can mix the two together, but then you've got three separate things. Once you manage to see the art thru the eyes of the artist, you'll have no choice but to like it. Everyone is different, so it's just about impossible for someone else than yourself to make nothing else than things you like. RDJ probably understood this a long time ago and isn't fooling himself when he says he likes his own stuff most. |

sometimes i cut onions,then cry. |

fuck no, analord is fenix funk and ALSO the other track from analord 10, bfmnda or stuff. and druckqs has many good traqcks, it's just one cd would be enough. oh wait it's aphextwin.nu let's stop this blasphemy. |

easy mate, no need to get mad, look ! : |

it's awesome, some people have an issue with it for not being cohesive, having an album structure. whatever! It's got amazing tracks, it's so obviously not meant to be listened all the way thru. You can easily make your own drukqs selection. I'ts liek when people say stupid stuff like "Oh this album would be much better if it had 3 tracks instead of 40 becuase it ruins the flow" BULLSHIT! what's important is the music inside. |
||||||||
|

I didn't disappoint me, and I still think it's good shit. The opening track, is one of the best opening tracks on ANY record IMO. It's perfect |

I hear Ice Cube was very dissapointed with this album. |
||||||||
|

That's what NWA's look like when content. You'd know if he was angry. |

Drukqs is sooo easily one of the best albums ever. I only listen to the 9 best tracks from it (no piano etc.) so it goes for 56 minutes and closed with "thanks for your attention bye" The piano is only really on there so the album works when you play CD1 and CD2 at the same time, which i also listen to sometimes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which track on which album is that thank you for your attention by one? I wanna to listen to that one again. |

Drukqs - track 28 - Zigoomatic 17 |

|

I think I like all of Richard's music. Never really dislike anything. And I have been into him for as long as he's been releasing music. Always waiting in earnest. |
