gave it a good blast home yeah, what can i say. i still admit it's better than 99.99+ % of what's out there. the drill tracks, why don't you like them; im curious. i still don't understand the complete lack of appreciation for this album im glad this guy isn't human, because i sure as shit wouldn't feel comfortable giving any "guy" this much credit and appreciation. oh, and on a more serious note, i think melthphace 6 took over as my favorite track of all time (finally, over the long and great, vordhosbn). so good. sooo soooo god damn good. just, wow. |

You could just hear that he seemed bored. Doing what he knows will make his fanbase happy and sell records. Most of the fans are pleased, so I guess it did what it was supposed to do. |

I've never gotten into drukqs as much as most of RDJ's other stuff. It's just too "clanky" overall, or something. There are some stand out tracks of course and when i've heard them in DJ sets they're great.. mt micheal, melthphace, vordhosbn and some piano tracks. i actually agree with what most reviewers of chosen lords are saying and much perfer this newer stuff. I think they hit it spot on in drukqs in fact. CL is back to form and will fit nicely beside HAB, SAW and the rest..... |

druqks = good album. vordhosbn, meltphace and st.michel's are the best. |

drukqs = awesome album. after listening to heaps of doll doll doll and find candace and such, i listened to 54 Cymrv Beats and it sounded heaps different. awesome. different.. dunno if its better or worse compared to when drukqs was my most listened to album... it still is my favourite album, full of the best tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
....but 54 Cymrv Beats is the bestest of those |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

on the contrary, i think he did what pleased him a the time (druqks span at least 5-7 years of material if i remember well) of the song's creation imo the problem is the sequencing and "similarity" of the drill songs in sound, and it's probably done on purpose, that's what probably makes it a bit indigest to many but no way did he do "what the fans wants", i doubt he ever has... =) |
||||||||

I think Drukqs is RDJ's best album. Am I strange to say so? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, song wise it is (for me).. but calling it his best album, being 30 tracks and all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i aint listened to it for ages. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not really into the drill fast tracks on druqks but i do like them when slowed down, such mystery :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I agree, I doubt it was 30 tracks for cash. I always thought that he may have put more effort into drukqs than most releases, thats how it sounds to me, and it may also be why the album does not have a strong sense of continuity and can sound "clanky". Fight the power. [B123] |
||||||||

|

| |||||||||
|
|
Not exactly... what I mean is he compiled what he knew would sell records. Retired, running out of money, yada yada, release album. Anyways, all I say is, it feels uninsprired. Not nearly as fun or playfull as care because you do, rdj album, windowlicker, and not nearly as complete sounding as anything else. But people are going to dissagree. Its all about taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree that it doesn't sound complete in terms of an album, so i just think you have to treat it as an art piece or a deliberate side step from his known sound/agenda. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes it's all about taste and opinion. to me, drukqs sounds like it is one of his most ambitious albums. perhaps even a creative peak in his career, along with saw2. 2 cd's jampacked with epic beat-magic and a couple of piano noodles. the longer tracks sound like there's lots of energy were put into them. i wouldn't call that uninspired. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah. But did he need to make it so fucking long? It might have held itself better as two releases, or just a one cd with less filler. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, it's all about taste but i think it all comes down to the difference between what a man aged 20 composes vs a 30 years old =) and to make money i think live shows/dj acts earn him far more money than selling albums :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, that's it, you don't like it =) stop saying he released it to make money lol |
||||||||

drukqs is his best work by far |

if i had to point at a favourite album of all time i'd say drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't listened to it in a long time, it used to be my favourite but now im not so sure anymore, not that it matters..i was listening to bunch of his music all afternoon the other day and it's quite unbelivable how much awesome music this guy produced..the thing i appreciate the most is that all tracks seem so different i don't get bored even after listening to his music for 5 hours straight or so. the thing with plenty new music producers is you usually get bored when you come to the 3rd track because they all sound basically the same. it's different with pldschool artists though, they have that certain thing about their music that makes it sound interesting all the way through. |

I love this album. It still baffles me how much energy, time, and pure genius went into some of the maddest compositions. The way they shift into new parts constantly, every second is fresh. I can't even fathom how some people don't like this album. This is my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont know how people can say its too long or sounds incomplete, I think its put together perfectly even if it is bipolar, and the tracks are so intense in a way that he hasn't done since the Caustic Window stuff and a few tracks on ICBYD |
||||||||

there's so much sped up acid squelch in the tracks slow it down and it's like, whoa |

Still the best album of all time. And just for future reference, the idea to do it with classical musicians, and even remix some of them then, was MY IDEA. I came up with it years ago. ACOUSTICA WAS MY IDEA. not that i'm bitter or anything. another one of my ideas was to compare Wu Tang Clan to Chaucer and do a piece melding the two drawing parralels, and eventually take it to the stage. And some cunt in America beat me to it, too much critical acclaim. BUT I HAD THE IDEA FIRST! not that i'm bitter or anything... And the new things in Supermarkets where you can scan and pay for your own goods, you know who came up with that first? ME THAT'S WHO! not that i'm bitter... |

I haven't listened to drukQs as a whole album for ages, mainly for the fact that i have lost the CD. Which upsets me because it was one of my 'pre-orders' from Warp Mart. Oh it is gorgeous. I do love it. I have been getting into the other albums as of late though. RDJ is a bit like a dreamy hunk at an American high-school, you just want to kiss it and touch it's hole. |
||||||||

|
"ACOUSTICA WAS MY IDEA" a shite idea that was. that acoustic version was COMPLETE shite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it sux. the remixes at the end were way better than the actual stuff. i thought up salt and vinegar chips (not crisps) when i was young, and then someone made some. i was well pissed off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
drukqs is a masterpiece, top 5 album in any genre. yeah i could lose a piano track or two here and there, but the finest drum programming to date from any artist (i'm talking to you vsnares) and just unbelievably original and satisfying aphex melodies. it's a grower, and i agree with elusive that you have to listen to the 45s at 33 (or slow it down digitally, not nearly as fun) to fully appreciate the effort. there is detail happening that is too minute to notice at full speed, quite beautiful syncopation and so forth hidden in the tracks. brilliant work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My idea though. That's all I'm saying. MY IDEA. and some people liked it. I thought it was patchy. Some of it pointless. Still, I would have liked some credit. Y'know, a mention in an interview or something would have been appreciated. Afterall it was.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

my idea. |

Yes, as we all know musical taste is 100% subjective. So regardless of what anyone thinks, noone should give a fuck, and just be contempt with their own smug opinion. That being said, now its my turn. the album in question is probably my favorite album of all time. It introduced me to electronica... and totally blew my head apart... So in that regard i have alot of respect and admiration for it, Midi Recieved. |

Elusive, you've posted drukqs slowed down? Can you do it again? I like drukqs, it's like a guitar solo. Very technical. My only grip is it sounds too brittle. It's definetly for the die hard aphex fan too. I couldn't play it for anyone I know in real life. Most would cover their ears on the beat tracks. |

www.xcrusive.ismightier.com stop / look / listen (i think?) / druqks slow or something look in there i gotto re-do it on my buddy's proper high qual equipment and then save to flac been meaning to get around to that oh, the reason i made this thread we were pretty pissed up lats night, partying for proof on the way home, my roomate was mega housed in i blasted drukqs the whole way home i had to stop and he puked outside my window about 1/2 way home LOL most ppl can't listen to it, but if you get them REALLY FUCKING DRUNK or REALLY FUCKING STONED and then blast it, i think they see why i like it lol |

I know this brittleness that you speak of but I love it a lot. I like how skeletal it sounds sometimes. But yeah I haven't listened to this as an album since maybe 2004, but I know I would still love it. |

I don't see drukqs on your site elusive. Where it be? I think fenix funk negated any need for me to listen to drukqs. Well, kinda. Unless I want to hear that brittleness. It's sorta mental in a way that analord doesn't have. Have you guys read that post Rich left at the planet-mu message board? Seems he might not like drukqs by his own words. He seems to disdain digital mixing and digital synths. |
