Listening to Drukqs tonight for the first time in several months. Good album, sure. I simultaneously get why people here think it's the best thing ever AND also couldn't care less...
I'm wondering will we ever see more? I mean, 6 years later, what can he bring? If this inquiry begs the ultimate question, then where is he with dropping all this crazy fantastic shit on our heads?
Analord doesnt count. Sure, it's good and it's hardware and it's vinyl and its fuckng oldschool, but seriously that stuff fit in the "meh" slots in my collection. And its oldschool. And IT IS 6 YEARS LATER! And this genre needs an enema.
Since Drukqs and VSTs, the breakcore scene has sorta plateaued the playing field (I mean seriously isn't pretty much all this the same shit?!!?). So, if there is a massive mindfuck masterpiece wankfest to be delivered, where is it?
Didnt I read in like 1999, that he thought his personal collection of unreleased tracks BACK THEN was supposed to be YEARS ahead of shit that he thought would come out in 2007? Guess what? We're here dude. Where's your new shit?
What keeps a person from releasing a new album in 6 years without any genuine statement on what you are working on, etc.? No mention of a triple disc SAW III, no mention of new Aphex. This sucks.
My boredom with music in 2006 has officially carried over to 2007.

He needs to release the Aphex version of Confield, where 5 years later we finally understand it after years of not knowing what the fuck is going on...

Windowlicker still blows all of it out of the water. As far as I am concerned his creative carreer really ended with that song. Thats it. Nothing more needed saying. It was the giant searing orgasm. Everything else has been meaningless pillow talk.

I think the Analord stuff had brilliant stuff. Fenix Funk was better than anything on drukqs in my opinion. And I bet there are shitloads of people that loved Analord. They just don' go to this site.

I agree with your first post, although I think he's probably lying when he says things about all that unreleased material, just as he was when he talked about building his own synthesizers.

I'd love a new Aphex album. I wish he released with the same frequency he did in the 90's. If only I'd been into Aphex then. That's a great era for his music.
I blame Joyrex for the lack of releases since Drukqs. If he'd only gone and said something other than "pretty good" then we'd have another album I reckon. DAMN YOU JOYREX!

for all the crying that goes on around here over rdj and his music i can't imagine the hell your lives must've been before you discovered him in the first place. yeah i agree he makes the most quality sounds out of electronic devices. and he's made loads recordings. which i'd say i own roughly 90% of the actual maretial he's released. i can't say tho that i'm suffering more with each day that passes w/o new aphex. there's an almost infinite amount of music out there still left to discover just like the day i first heard girl/boy on mtv's amp cd. jazz for example, is practically limitless in a quest for another genre that pushes the boundaries of its contemperary borders. it's about freshness and occasionaly one must step outside their own comfort zone to experience something that will excite them the same way in which whatever it was that they became oversaturated with had before when the cycle began.

there's apparently going to be a new release in 2007 (first half of the year according to what i've read). but now i think it's probably all total bollocks and he's not going to release anything for years except jism.

analord is good music that richard made puting limitations on it, using only hardware. if he could do that, maybe there is a genial release coming with all nalogics and digital sounds.
imo richard always develop somehow in his releases:
analord showen richard is fucking technically talended. drukqs was the complexity apotheosis. windowlicker is the best idm singing song. come to daddy added images to his music. hangable auto bulb was the birth of rdj's drillnbass. i am tired of this list. his next release will be awesome!

Drukqs is released, Richard ask joyrex what he thinks of the album, and joyrex replies: "It's pretty good".
Since then Richard has never contacted joyrex again.
that's the story.
Aaaanyway I think he should release more stuff. I enjoy his work a lot.

the thing is, joyrex said quite good... the story goes that for english people 'quite' may be interpreted differently than in american english, so richard was offended because these tracks are like his childrens, and 'quite good' was like saying "well, they're not bad'
anyway that's how i interpreted the whole thing...

how the fuck can you write off analord, which is the musical equivalent of an epic with such righteousness? why don't you just go listen to drukqs again if thats what you want so bad.
i don't mean to be aggressive, and i don't believe i ever have been on this board but fucking hell. make you own god damned drill and bass if thats what you want so bad.
as for new aphex material, yeah that would be great, he's a genius and its wonderful to hear his music.

richrad opened the door (or hellgate) of electronic music and techno for me with come to daddy and windowlicker
and he releases not too little, we just got so addicted to him that we would cry out for another release one month after his next one
still there is some good music around
and analord definately is a successor to drukqs
but i got to admit that i would like to hear some more experiMENTAL stuff by him
im also curious what aleksi perälä has got to offer with his new release, there is still "some" other good musicians around...
i said that twice but its what i think
