Something I have been meaning to do for a while and finally got around to it. I never got into the flow of Druqks going back and forth between drill and bass, the piano stuff, and various ambient sound stuff. Not that those styles couldn't work together, but imo more effort would need to be put into transitioning them to keep a consistent flow. I just finished making my two playlists, which is almost the entire album minus a few cuts because I wasn't into them or they didn't fit. Disc 01 - Drill & Bass stuff. Lornaderek Cock/Ver10 Taking Control Meltphace 6 Mt. Saint Michel Mix+St. Michaels Mount Ziggomatic 17 Afx237 V7 54 Cymru Beats Omgyjya Switch7 Vordhosbn Gwarek2 Disc 2 - piano ambient Penty Harmomium Father Nanou 2 Strotha Tynhe Beskhu3epnm Ruglen Holon Kesson Dalef Prep Gwarlek 3B Kladfvgbung Micshk Jynweythek Ylow Avril 14th Hy A Scullyas Lyf A Dhagrow Petiatil Cx Htdui Try out those playlists to see what you think whether you like it better, like the way RDJ intended, or would move stuff around differently. |

I like it the way Aphex did it. Creates a good range. That said, I have my own playlists of the tracks doing something similar. That said, Lornaderek doesn't feature on any of them and if it did. Not in the Drill & Bass stuff. |

I had Lornaderek open that disc for charm and amusement purposes |
||||||||

I guessed your reasons :) They're most likely the same ones that Aphex put the track on there himself. |

thats a good order - i dont really like the original order myself - seems really muddled up |

suggestion for phobiazero: still spelling drukqs 'druqks' after all these years = b7? i wish i had this album on my puter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
my playlist is just drukqs without the non electronic stuff (... and no, lornaderek isnt electronic, and i didnt put it in for charm : P ) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont really like the non-drill and bass stuff on there - a bit boring. Lornaderek is funny , and the first track is quite good, but the rest is pointless. Bit 4, why bother with that?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i kinda agree, kinda. after listening to electronic only stuff for so long it is nice to hear the first track again. alot of the piano stuff, for example, ruglen holon, sounds really nice and mellow and relaxing, espicially for banging noises and such |

Ziggomatic 17 is still the mest track on there IMO. Shame it's the only part of the CD that hasa HUGE scratch. :( |
||||||||

|
mest track.....? |
||||||||
|
|

hehehe. and M is 2 keys away from B. though, the other day i misspelt friend with friday ... |
||||||||
|

i did the same some years ago. ha! but only the drill cd. and i added the 2 remixes and the track on rephlex compilation |
||||||||
|

|
|
drukqs is still really fucking hypersensational, if you think about it |
||||||||
|

The track order is the beauty of it. You're ruining the flavour. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not a bad idea, but i enjoy the switches from melodic to bionic flavors. |
||||||||

funny thing is, when this cd first came out, rolling stone gave it one star, saying it just sounded "phuqed up." then i read a collection of album reviews at barnes and noble by rolling stone, and in there they gave it four stars, saying it is "mesmerizing." it's an album people really aren't on the fence about - they either love or hate it. i love it, personally. need to listen to it again actually.... |

why bother? because everyones tastes are different. Various tracks appeal to various people. Why not bother? |
||||||||

I love it too. |

wikipedia 'Richard claimed he had stored the entire new album on an MP3 player, but had lost it on a plane with no backup copies, and that drukqs would be a selection of unreleased tracks instead. This is a plausible hypothesis, as the electronic tracks are strikingly similar in style to previous works.' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The story i heard was that he lost his mp3 player and feared someone would find it on the plane and shove it all on p2p, and that he only did Drukqs to avoid this. and anyway, are the tracks strikingly similar to previous works?! maybe one or two of the non-drill and bass ones are vaguely like SAW2. |
||||||||

|
i like the LP track order. it has a better flow. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thats what I heard too. Only a freakin idiot would degade his tracks to MP3s and throw away the originals... I really doubt RDJ would do that... I was always under the impression that artists keep all their original samples, and write down the methods they used to modulate each piece as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well theres no reason to believe they were mp3s specifically. But personally it sounds like a complete load of wank, for one they don't sound strikingly similar to anything he's done, I think the album has a really strong overall vibe anyway. And yeah I doubt he would only have one copy and then lose it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like bullshit to me, but one way to disprove it: anybody analysed the tracks? mp3's have a telltale cut off point. |
