possibly one of the most under-rated Aphex tracks?...I mean I rarely ever see anyone bring it up...yet I remember it was the first teaser track released out of drukqs and it floored on the first listen.... still does |

It's not underrated. It's my favorite Aphex track (esp those last 2 min.) |

"To Cure A Weakling Child, Contour Regard" – 5:10 is a lot better in my opinion 54 cylaj goie beats is kinda in squarepusher 'copy paste bits of a pattern around' territory, a lesser art compared to more more well thought out stuff, imo and the fluffy bear lyrics don't help. If you listen to a lot of tracks on the come 2 daddy album at half speed you can hear lots of subtle quality on the micro level whereas I doubt 54 aer;oi beats would have much. Its just macro, relying on speed to entertain but I'm kinda immune to speed now. There was a cool 'acid' melodyish piece in it though.. not nearly as acidic as cornish acid though. |

hmm I think we are comparing two totally different tracks here..apples and oranges almost...no doubt I love all of Come to Daddy EP... but a very strong and cohesive melody is driving holding the reins of To Cure a Weakling Child...most of the drum hits are acid based (don't kill me everyone if I am wrong but the drums sound like processed 808s to me) 54 Cymru beats is a different beast all together..yeah it is drill'n'bass and yeah it is agressive but you know me i like agressive stuff. But I disagree that it is cut and paste or speeded up Amen Breaks. In fact it is much closer in the aesthetic to Bogdan's Samurai Math Beats or Boku Mo Wakaran than Squarepusher. Aphex is programming and painting patterns from a whole kit. What I like about the song is it's dynamics, the shifts are quite unpredictable, tension is built and released, some segments are densely packed others are sparse and haunting (as opposed to the melodic theme holding To Cure a Weakling Child together. And the production is amazing, clear and sharp enough to cut like a knife but retaining a heavy bottom end. |

all of the drill tunes on drukqs are fucking amazing, the beats on cymbru are classy, but i think i preffer ziggomatic or mt saint michel cause they have more melodies and a more 'beautiful' background... and i dont think its underrated, ive read lots of comments here about it, specially by the time the album was released |
