yes!!

allz you have to do is buy the premium vinyl copy of DRUKQS
and get a mixer and PLAY IT SLOWER (ie 33 instead of 45 on
certain tracks) AND YOU CAN GET YOURSELF A BRAND NEW SET OF
DRUKQS SONGS TO ENJOY!

JUST SAVE TO YOUR PC, AND BURN TO CD!

DRUKQS CD3 AND 4 COMING SOON

(heh)

I always use plugins from Winamp.com and toy around with the
tempo/speed/pitch/whatever of my MP3s. Not just Drukqs!

Speeding up IDM is not recommended, though... I do that only
to rock. Electronic beats are so complex, they sound
ridiculous played back at 150% speed.

What plugins do you use to do that, and where can I find
them?

I know this deserves a thread of its own buuuuut:
Other than the larger artwork and occasionally better
packaging, could some vinyl junky give me an honest
explanation of its appeal? I mean, listening to vintage
stuff that was originally on analog is one thing.. you know
you want to hear it on analog and not a digital transfer..
but in the case of most modern electronic music, in this
case 'Drukqs', it's primarily recorded digitally in the
first place, right? So why the fetish for vinyl when it's
digital music going onto a sonically inferior format with no
improvement in quality? I can understand the appeal of the
packaging, and maybe it's just the allure of the increased
physicality that vinyl provides. But as far as sound goes,
I just don't understand why people stay loyal to vinyl when
CD is available. If I am mistaken about my facts here, I
apologize in advance. I am obviously not an expert on this
type of thing. thanks.

well, from what I understand, you can fit a whole lot more
music on vinyl than you can on cd

true

it sounds much more "deeper" too.

and you can toy with it so much easier

hell, running the 45bmp songs @ 33 is just insane.

it's like a whole new songs.

all the beats start to really come alive

elusive that would be the only reason why I'd want Drukqs on
vinyl as well. I am thinking about it coz I've got the
untitled Squarepusher 12" and that sounds totally kewl at
33rpm as well as the Chaos AD Remixes.

Ophecks: what plugins are you referring to?
i don't like the chronotron plugin...it timestretches, but
it sounds friggin awful. imagine the sound of 64 k/bit mp3.

sound recorder ;P

More sound depth, with vinyl you hear what sound was
actually performed rather then 0011101010011001 digital
crap. The frequencies that CD won't cover are also the ones
Aphex likes the most and even though you can't hear them
they still affect your mind when you play the music. Bad
side is dust but whatever. Vinyl is deep and real CD is
digital.

Surely you need really good ranged headphones like
sennheiser HD-250i's and amazing quality decks to get those
frequencies out?
