and nobody notices the best part:
'No one since today has archieved anything comparable to Drukqs'
by the way, the flashbulb's kirlian selections pwn drukqs.

drukqs is incredible, but you don't have to stress how amazing something is by saying its better than everything else.
i'm not one for making rash statements but i think the only reason you (kerz) don't like autechre is because you can't get into the rhythm and groove instantly. it's easy to find that in drukqs, so a first listen will generally have you more interested. autechre is like a fine wine, yeah i said it.
great way to start off at xltronic, dickhole.

I remember way back when I downloaded a leaked version of Drukqs and half of it was Flashbulb tracks, mistagged. True story.
I loved Drukqs, it was definitely the soundtrack of the fall of 2001 for me. A real time capsule album. I still think it's a great grab-bag of sounds. Wails.

Some of you are letting your opinion manifest itself into what you believe as fact. OK so you love drukqs for its avant garde IDM and programmed drill/piano pieces. Great! guess what? I love teh Analords, some people think Peter Andre is the shit [fuckheads]. Anyway, don't present opinion as fact and I think people may be more open to discussion.
Yo, thats my 2c.
How is everyone?
PS: Fact: Drukqs = Weak release. :P

i like drukqs and agree it's the best aphex twin album. autechre are my favorite though. there later work is quite challenging to listen to, but confield and untilted are masterpieces but so is druqks. one can love both. i also like sonic youth, zao and pink floyd. i also like chubby checker's "the twist"

i'm a massive rdj fanbot but drukqs is the one i listen to least cos the beats are too tinny, and it's just way to contrived i reckon.
the analords flow a lot more and have that aphex melody/beats driving thing that i love and i get more of asense that he got lost in his own tunes where drukqs sounds forced.
for drill i go for big load/hard nrmal daddy/go plastic any day...drukqs not got a patch on them. ae is incomparible so enough of that shit.
love the piano stuff on drukqs and i love individual tracks like mt st whatever, and mettphace but as an album i personally find it tedious.
also... note how very few rdj sets have drukqs material but loads of them have stuff from nearly every other release..that reflects what i feel about it... sort of

lmao @ raged ppl.
It was a personal opinion about drukqs and Autechre's lastest works, as I said.
"i'm not one for making rash statements but i think the only
reason you (kerz) don't like autechre is because you can't get into the rhythm and groove instantly."
No and nope. Its not a problem about "getting or not getting it", but again, as I said, i don't like that "rhythm or groove" that Autechre creates using those suppa avantgarde methods. Gets old to fast imo.
Thanks.

"It was a personal opinion about drukqs and Autechre's lastest works, as I said. "
you gave the impression that your opinion is a fact though, that's what upset people :)
i agree autechre can get old fast, but i don't think this will happen with untilted..it's just different to their previous work.
also, i think drukqs is pretty outdated too..it was just a highmark at some point when drill was popular but it didn't turn into anything really. analogue is where it's at :)

hallmark when drill was popular?
personally, i think drukqs fuking killed the genre
no one can mesh melodies with drill better than drukqs
once that ablum came out it's like, thats it,,,game over, no one's gonna top that. might as well stop making drill altogether.

yeah..when drukqs came out, that was that from drill and bass. there were people trying to do more of that but nothing came close to drukqs.

jesus i don't see it. big loada, hnd and go plastic were way before drukqs and are drill before the "genre" was even realised. Drukqs came on top of it, and has nowhere near the depth. its all over the shop and as clanky as fuck. ain't you guys heard HAB? wellllllll before drukqs and at the peak of rdj's drillyness. now we have Analord's - Xmd5a for example that's go so much more going for it than most tracks on drukqs.

that's what I thought at the beginning too.
I can agree that Autechre get old fast, but only stuff up until Confield. The only albums I've listened to as many times as to Confield, Draft and Untilted is Delarosa & Asora's Agony Pt1 and Drukqs actually.
*Gasp at Kirlian Selections - It's too plain and obvious, man. Not the same league.

"..... Including the most over-rated piece of crap that is Autreche, specially the lastest work (Confield, Draft 7.30 and Untitled). ...
To conclude, I hope RDJ releases something with the mood and
quality of Druqks in the future. "
Ae's Untilted is about the only album of it's kind I can put on in the car and actually be bothered to 'listen' to..rather than treat as background noise like a lot of other electronic music. Anything that imparts this on me tells me it must be good and that you are talking out of your pie hole.
That said, I agree that Druqks is as good.

I agree with KEYFUMBLER about drukqs. Go plastic has some awesom effects. No matter what though, aphex always has some wiz bang suprises in his music. The "how'd he do that?" The music that blew my mind from aphex the most is bouncing ball, nanou, and most of all Windowlicker. Windowlicker made me think he wasn't human for a while. Favorites from drukqs are Mt saint Micheals (the girl voice part)...the piano tracks especially avril 14.
I like lots of bits from drukqs though. I don't seem to play them much though. Maybe its the tinny thing.

I grabbed the limited edition version of the vinyl box set, the heavyweight higher quality vinyl pressing.... so sweet, really made me look at Drukqs a bit differently to be honest. Its a good album, I really enjoy it a lot, I think I like Analord better though as far as new stuff goes..... ive always been a fan of his older stuff though.... I love old AFX.. so great.
