Are you talking in the over egged 'Drill and bass' arena or in general? |
||||||||
|

|
|
um, no, your mamma's knickers smell of cheese and fish |

the plinkety-plonk piano bits were nice. I liked those. although that avril-thingy gets a lot more praise than it deserves, I'd say. |

that's like someone from the US using the word "mate" - a bit embarrassing. |

That doesn't make sense. You are wanting other peoples opinions aren't you? |

i'm listening now and it really does kick the fuck out of anything released in the last few years to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so basically you wanted to say that and don't want to hear the opinion of anyone else. which is fine ofcourse, it's the solid foundation the internet is built on, but the thread title might suggest otherwise.. |
||||||||

sorry i'm pissed, i mean you no harm |

Great! I like the piano things but the rest I wouldn't revisit. |
||||||||
|
|

I've liked it all along, and still think it's awesome! |

that was the highlight for me aswell. |

Best album ever, always said so, always will. |

You can top that technically if you chose to and had a lot of patience. I can't think of who I'm quoting but.... 'it's 90% inspiration, 10 % perspiration' give it a go.. your emulations are great but if you add yourself in there it would be lovely. |
||||||||

it's good |
||||||||
|
|

it is good, but best album ever......... i'm not so sure........ Bytes anyone? or dare I say SAW? |
||||||||
|

|

well... it was my first aphex album and basically the album that made me enter this idm (whatever you call it) world... yeah, I know I came late... but here I am about drukqs: loved it since first listen, love it still it makes me feel all nostalgic too I like the way its made, with that jekill/hyde style melodies, great beats, some real idm anthems... essential I would say it was some kind of summary of all his abilities to hat point, and it had several styles, but still made a perfect body of work some say it had old tracks in it... probably, but he released them in the correct moment then one of his best works imo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, everything is possible. But, still - nobody has done it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it's an all-rounder and worth the money |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'll never understand the praise drukqs gets. I think it's OK, but a masterpiece? Isn't it too uneven to be a masterpiece? Sure Vordhosbn, Avril 14, and Ziggomatic are great tracks. But there are a lot of uninspired and plain filler tracks as well. Something else that frustrates me is it seems like RDJ intended it to be a "masterwork": it's takes itself too seriously. RDJ album covers more emotional bases and is a better album IMO. So's ICBYD. I even prefer Come to Daddy EP (now that is a tiny masterpiece, and brief, too). If one is going to be talking masterpieces, In Sides is a masterpiece. LP 5 is a masterpiece, probably Chiastic Slide as well. But not Drukqs, I think. There's no overarching theme, not much of a coherent mood, not enough standout tracks. |

Haha, you are wrong about absolutely everything. |

What are you waiting for? I wish you were a bit more agresssive with your musical stance. It's such a waste. |

jo lo agees! |

ICYBD is my personal favorite of his, and second favorite album out of everything. (Its the first "idm" album I've ever listened to, though, so I may be biased.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you ever listen to it slowed WAY down, jamesa? it's a whole new album (psssh) and my god, it is even more insane. bah, no more words to describe it just crazy good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kin ell, how do i do that, elusive? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
elusive slowed down some, if not all, the tracks and posted them a while back. they were actually really cool and i agree with him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What do you mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it's great. the best album in the genre |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think he's saying you sound too much like an Aphex clone (I have no idea, I haven't heard your music). saying "nobody has done it" is a bit of a cop out. James is not some kind of mythical creature. why not try surpassing Aphex, who cares if you can't actually do it, at least go for it. something like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hm, ok. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol. impakt you can slow it with a plugin for winamp or with Windows media player, i think it includes something to slow down songs. I think that slowing the tracks just gives you more perspective in how the tracks were made.. especially some insight into the beats. that stuff about "it's a whole new album", "it is even more insane." it's bollocks. but probably I'm just saying that because I pointed out about slowing the tracks first, and no one paid me any attention. later elusive comes out posting slowed drukqs tracks, and everyone's like "ooh ahh". bleah! it's OK |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's allright. not his best or his worst. avril is overrated as qrter says. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's his best overall album. in the beginning i used to skip the piano stuff, to get to the juice, but after a while the melodies sunk in, and since then the album has been one of my favorites, with few, if any, weak tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Absolutely great album. The best IDM/Drill n bass album ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My opinions on it have changed a bit. Not that anyone really cares, but heres my two cents. I'm listening to rdj album alot more and have recently realized that it is aphex twins masterpiece, NOT drukqs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I concur with everything said there. I have listened to both the RDJ album and ICBYD hundreds of times, but everytime I put drukqs on, I get bored half way through and put something else on. It just didn't sound as inspired. And thats all I have to say bout that. |
||||||||
|

Drukqs is his best album by a country mile. and all the others are genius too. i remember him saying at the time that it was released in a 'not quite complete' form because he lost the mastered songs on a tube so wanted to release something before the bootlegs turned up. but i've always thought that was one of his little lies because i later heard him say, same year, that he thought it was his best work as he was just better at everything, production, structure etc than what he used to be. He also said it makes sense to him to listen to it as a whole, but it probably won't to anyone else. It sounds completely perfect to me. it is his masterpiece. thank you for your attention |
||||||||

I'd for some more melodic drill and bass tracks in the style of drukqs. Nothing has really touched them in all these years in terms of atmosphere, tension, drama, memorability etc...(even if some works have almost matched the complexity of the drum work.) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate drukqs except two or three or four or five songs of which three are avril 14 and kesson daslef and jynweithek ylow tunes, one is vordhosbn and another is Orban Eq Trx4 i prefer SAW2 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Avril is the worst of the piano tracks actually, although the one with the most "immediate" charm. Kesson Daslef will always be my favorite out of those, closely followed by Petiatil. Drukqs can, of course, be outdone, but I haven't heard anyone match it yet. Part of what makes it so brilliant to me is the track sequencing, it's filled with great, contrasting work and ties the album together perfectly. I really think it's an amazing dynamic. Also, it's got his most imaginative and fulfilling melodies and overall structures. And it feels like his most "real" album, for some reason. There's something sincere about it, I like that. It's not just about how marvellous it is technically, there's an Aphex factor in it that's unique for him, no matter what. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still think it's ace album although i haven't really listened to it in a long long time..im into a bit different music now i think..but yeah, i still think it's one of best albums ever made :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It IS his best, no doubt about it. RDJ is quite close but gets boring pretty quick. People who think that ICBYD is better need to kill themselves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you still think it's his best even after analord? or you don't count analord as an album? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Or perhaps we had already gotten tired of drill n bass, and when we heard a new aphex twin album was comming out, we were expecting something along the lines of windowlicker. (its still his best song ever, and I would take one windowlicker over 5 Drukqs anyday) |

Man. I have over 6000 points. I need to find something else to do. |
