This really is some good music... I'm listening to Gwely Mernans, and I love it... the soft song, crazy song, soft song format is needed I think, or we'd all go insane... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree. i think the way the tracks are ordered works really well -- you get a little bit of everything. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yeah, like an expensive meal with starter, main course, dessert, cheese and coffee..its everything =) |

in my opinion, drukqs is one of the worst aphex albums. if you listen to icbyd or come to daddy, you'll realize how much better they are. er...that's just my opinion.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Perhaps you shouldnt even compare them. it like 2 different things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think drukqs is, musically, the best aphex album. The problem is that it has some different styles and has not a perfect cohesion. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Drukqs is very good indeed!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is excellent! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that it is!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
EXCELLENTE! |
||||||||
|

|
Drukqs is very unorthadox I like most of it, but Im really not a fan of those short, piano tracks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the piano tracks are very nice... I love them personally... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like the piano tracks, especiallthe last track on cd1 and track 9 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you were told that the cheesy piano tracks were written by moby, or some pop artist like alicia keys, I'm sure you would hate them. the reason why everyone likes those songs is because they're written by aphex twin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they're not cheesy. Most aren't very complex, but what's wrong with that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Martytan: I'll have to disagree with you there... if a pop artist was making trax like that I would at least download them. Some are cheesy though, like the last one on disc 1. |
||||||||

drukqs is my favourite I know many of you will think that i am not even a real fan... but man what can i say if i really think that drukqs is the one i enjoy the most. I love the old stuff... classics, caustic, surfin, saw 8592...i really love it (more and more with time) I admire I care... and rdj album, come to daddy, windowlicker... those are excellent pieces of music history...but the one i prefer listening to is drukqs |
||||||||

Same here. |

the thing with drukqs is that he hasn't broken new ground: every aphex album moved to a new area, but drukqs is quite retro in terms of the acidy feel to it. aphex is probably sick of lesser artists trying to steal his production style and making a wanky hash of it: people where expecting groundbreaking stuff but instead got older style production. the tracks show that he is a good composer, not just a good producer and that even with the old acid gear or just a piano he can still blow everything else out of the water. nothing very new in it but still lush |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why cant you compare drukqs to other aphex albums? Sure, it is a different style, but all aphex albums are a different style. I think drukqs is okay, it does what it wants, its just not my style. I like more well thought out melodies and beats, over random smashing and mashing percussions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Drukqs does break new ground. Listen more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nah, in terms of production the ground stays firmly intact mate :) the 808 and 909 type percussion and the 303 style acidy bit s are just like old acid tracks and stuff (although they are digital versions by the sound of it) , just they are a bit more frentic. piano is piano (nothing new there), the harmonium type stuff is like bits of rdj album and the latin break tracks are just like iz-us. compare the production on windowlicker to drukqs and you will see what i mean, cos wndowlicker sound pretty unique but drukqs doesn't |

For me, you are talking about the science of music and I am talking about something else which I do not have the words for. |

in terms of the sounds used for all the tracks they are not as unconventional as on other releases, and in fact are quite mainstream sounds used in a very intricate way: the instraments used aren't groundbreaking and he has done quite dancey beats, that admitadly are quite complex in places are far less complex than bouncing ball or mummy mix. the melodies sound pure aphex to so i don't see what is so groundbreaking about it ( nothing he hasn't done before and little that are unique to him) |

Sorry, maybe some day. |

Martytan: No, I disagree... the thing that would turn us off is that we would hear Moby's name, and if we think he sucks, he would just assume the piano tracks sucked... we wouldn't give them a chance... because we like Aphex Twin we give the piano tracks a chance, and they are very very nice... I really like Drukqs... I get a headache if I listen to it too much, but that's cause it's just so crazy... BoC never give me a headache!!! :) |
||||||||

and, music doesn't have to break new ground to be good... |
||||||||

The piano tracks are great, and I'd love them no matter WHO the artist was. I just like minimalistic piano tunes alot, I always have... pianos always sounded like candy to my ear. So I'd like them even if it was Britney Spears tracks... but I probabaly wouldn't admit that, in that case... ;-) |

I spelled ''probably'' wrong... well, shit. |

ducks are hot!!! |
||||||||
|
|

|

my frend slightly resembles a duck |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mmmmm!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree - but tracks like ziggomatic do have groundbreaking production, even if the sounds themselves are all well known, listen to what he do with common sounds... same with 54 cymru beats, nothings new in the sounds but woa what an intricate organization... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I love the piano pieces and I love Drukqs, his most complex, advanced, best album so far imo. "the reason why everyone likes those songs is because they're written by aphex twin" whoa, It cant get more ignorant that this. |

One track on Drukqs is just as strong as other artsists whole albums. Just take Mt St Michael, a beatiful track with so much detail and stuff going on in that track (an album with 16 tracks with such brainfucking would collapse your brain:=) . So I take a little Drukqs dose a day, thats good for me. |
||||||||
|
|

|

The piano tracks are great in my opinion, and I wouldn't care who made them. Right on Archrival! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I was told that the piano tracks were written by moby I would still love em..why shouldnt I???, and I would thaught that he had improved a lot. I actually like some Moby tracks ;)...im I a dickhead now? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Have yall heard "My Weakness" thats actually a good track by Moby. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think the long song, short song, long song format of Drukqs was inspired by MHTRTC... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i don't listen to come to daddy as much as the other ones. i did when it first came out. but i always went back to the other ones. saw, rdj, icbyd, on, and saw2 have played a major roll in my life . |
||||||||
|
|

I don't know that I've ever heard RDJ program drums as masterfully as he does in track 1, disc 2. Its like he standard beat, waved a magic wand of aphexian logic on it, and it metamorphosed into the most intensely satisfying programming i've ever heard. The build and orgasm of raw frequencies towards midsong is absolutely incredible. I like the rest of the album a lot, but after a lot of listens, that track stands out as most phenomenal. |
