I have recently been coming to terms with the idea of being dissapointed with drukQs. After carefully listening to both icbyd and rdjalbum, these works seem much more complete than drukQs. This isn't to say i'm dissapointed with the release, but Richard has released much better in my opinion. What do you think? and yeah, i know, this has probably been discussed before for the rest of eternity forever amen. |

| |||||||||
|
|
no. i think it's his best album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, I liked drukqs from the get-go. I was disappointed with rdj lp though. |

oh yes. i really wanted to call my dog colin,but the wife won with alfie |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I was. After the first hearing my first thought was: "Why on two CD's?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I think that ICBYD is a complete waste of time when compared with DrukQs. RDJ is almost as good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think drukQs is not a complete work, it seems so mish-mashed, thrown together, not taken the same strucctual care that rdj was taken with. I mean, icbyd was technically a compilation of tracks aphex had made between 93-95, but because they are so technologically similar, it seems like such a cohesive album. i'm bantering now... that dog is a qt |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's an album by a bloke |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs was the first rdj, or anything in the realm of "idm", that i ever heard, so i was most certainly not dissapointed. quite the opposite actually, i was fucking blown away, especially considering i was stoned as fuck. it was some of the first music id heard that seemed to transcend some barrier and really become art. on another note, icbyd is probably rdjs best work. no gimmicks, no goofiness, just pure beaty bliss. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
you must be insane. this album is awesome! though i haven't listened to it on surely a year.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think drukqs is his best work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so do i |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I couldnt be dissapointed with it as it was my first exposure to aphex and here I am, so imagine if I liked it or not |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't know that. drukqs was your first aphex? i don't know what would i feel like about his other music if drukqs would be the one to get me into his stuff..it's just so different to everything else he released..glad to see it was a good experience for you though! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. but it was my first aphex twin album. : ) it's been probably two or three years since i've listened to it in its entirety nevertheless... i'd have prefered it to be 1-cd instead of 2 personally. but it's ok, since some people seem to want even more. i still like the piano tracks a lot but the drill'n'bass ones bore/annoy me a bit now. |

"but it's ok, since some people seem to want even more." haha, you must be the nicest guy on xltronic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Absolutely not. I don't know any other album that had track transitions as good as drukqs. Each song on there shifted into so many different ideas. It was jam packed. One of the best rdj releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am a noob it had a good effect on me, as you can see, I love his music now... specially the early cassics |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
First 'idm' album I bought too, the only other aphex I heard before that was windowlicker, come to daddy and polynomial-c. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be nice to be totally ignorant of aphex once again, and get my ears blown off like I used to be :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aphex is 34 years old... I imagine he is still gonna offer some nice moments and wedont have a real music revolution since the early-mid 90s... so its probable to see another revolution that will blow our minds away soon |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
definately |

I know people diss Venetian snares but the first time I saw him live that was 'a moment' maybe it doesn't translate to record but it's great non the less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
similar to Lightning bolt. an event. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sincerely hope you are right. Analord was fine, but it was no Analogue Bubblebath (any), Surfing on Sine Waves or ICBYD. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His heart is in the right place. Analord was probably a purging exercise. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same happened to me this May 13th when I saw him... it was quite a catharsis... I love his music and think he does a great job.... but.... why are you talking about this? I didnt get the follow up |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dunno! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There were moments, but I think you are right, it was something that he had to get out of his system. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha anyway... its nice to see some people like mr snares´music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Badmitton is still his best IMO. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I can easily pick 15 excellent tracks from analords... thats quite a lot analords are not a new step into the future, but they are greatly arranged, and sweet after all |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the analords are great when i view them as a throw back. I picture someone that loves "older" style and jamming it out. I think its neat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you had asked me before I did the analord-mixes, I'd be a bit kinder. But I guess that project took some of the joy out of the tracks. I'm on a strict non-analord diet now, to perhaps regain some of the loss. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a valid point, and I feel the same way about them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly. I think it was a brave set of releases. A bit of fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its nice to see an artist have fun with tracks. I think more emotion comes across with that sometimes. I guess to cover the topic title i think people are often too critical of artists. In the case of DrukQs i notice that often times people set standards for the artist, instead of letting the artist set the standard. Overall i think the best way to listen to music is to try to see what the artist wants to portray as opposed to what i want to hear. I can hear what i want, whenever i want. But when you listen to something unique that isnt oftentimes something you listen to it can be a real rewarding experience. |

Druqks blew my head off in 2001 - it sounded so alien and complex but perfect. As the years pass, and as I learn more about making music I can understand more about how Ritchie made these sounds - but it still impresses me. I hear people (mainly reviewers) going on about how stale Druqks was - treading water, unfocused etc, well I can't hear that at all, I tend to class it as a more mature and thought out album. This is the same guy who produced SAWII and Analord - his 'serious composer' frame of mind. ICBYD and RDJ album, great as they are always appear to me to be just a prime selection of goofy tracks he had on his harddrive at the time. |
