Richard D James > Drukqs

I think I'm in the minority here but I feel the RDJ album is far superior. Drukqs has its moments but the RDJ albums flows much better and is not as disjointed.

I completely agree. Drukqs did not really amaze me...

i think without the piano breaks and noisescapes on Drukqs [EXPLICIT LYRICS] available on Amazon it would sort of be stressfull to listen to in one sitting. i do admit that i find myself skipping through, but that's the case with nearly every album i own (once i've listened enough times). so... i guess i can see that some can feel like filler, but despite how things might appear, i think he's probably proud of all the tracks for various reasons, some of which may not be apparent, and that is why they all appear on the album.

i think it's a nice portrait of someone with varied tastes and the listenera are often more impressed by specific flavors presented than of others. one can't be brilliant at all forms of music i guess, but i'm glad that he doesn't hide it all away.

if were talking actual albums (saw / saw2 / surfing on sine waves / ICBYD / rdj / drukqs and MFM)

not eps (come to daddy / hab / ab's etc)

then i think drukqs is the worst of those albums i mentioned

the fact that i would still give it a 9/10 and rate it among the best electronica ever made only serves to highlight how utterly excellent richards entire output of full length albums is

and as everyone knows - having "favourites" is for gays and babies

so yeah ...

rdj = 10

drukqs = 9

whatever

oh im sure he is, i wasnt implying he purposefully released something he thought was shit. However he has done this in the past and i have called him on it so maybe this is why it came off this way (smojphace noise being a prime example)

yeah i pretty much agree with this too, its still an excellent album compared to the wealth of electronic music out there and besides maybe Go Plastic i cannot think of another "drill" album that is this much fun.

So, this inspired me to come up with an aphex release chart. Personal one, we should all make our own:

RDJ > Analord > SAW 85 - 92 > SAW2 > AB3 > HAB > ICBYD > AB4 > JREX > Drukqs

I think that's how I would rate them.

carrots > peas

SAW2, Melodies From Mars, and ICBYD I put in a seperate category because all three seem to fit their own seperate of genre of music imo

Richard D. James album far surpasses all of them to me. Also another thought...how many people here listen through the entire American release, and how many stop when the original was supposed to? Alot of the extra tracks are good but they seem so out of place that I tend to stop partway through Logon Rock Witch because its just too much weirdness after the high Girl/Boy song puts me in.

Drukqs is the best album ever made. There isn't any proof for it, but it is actually scientific fact. Anybody who disagrees is gay, black or gay and black. Blackgays.

Drukqs>RDJ>Analords>Come to Daddy>ICBYD>SAW>26 MFC> HAB>Classics>ABB

It feels really weird putting classics and really any of them so close to the end. I like all of them. And truthfully, if I had to choose one, I would suffer a panic attack choosing between Drukqs and RDJ album. I still say Drukqs is the best album though.

I also like the idea of putting SAW II in a different category. Its not like the others, and it feels wrong putting it near the end.

Drukqs are for hippies. Real electronic music men do Akjohol instead.

SAW 85-92>SAW II>Drukqs>ICBYD>RDJ>Chosen Lords

Ha.

I get the pun and I appreciate it.

Top bad I'm a hippie i guess.

Too bad?

No way, I love hippies.

I want to be a hippie and I want to get stoned.

Cringe, cringe, Kringe, in the name of hippie.

i have a "clean" version of that song on cassette somewhere. there are so many things to bleep that they resorted to using an array of cartoonish noises - ship toots, clown horns, all sorts of good shit.

needless to say, i prefer it over the original.

silly billy chilly j dilly

why do you judge triangles

Psh, to heck with you and your CASS-ETTE TA-PE.

I have it on the re-re-record.

I want to be a hippie and I want to get YOWOWOOOOW.

I must agree, I do like the 'edit' more than the original.
