Guest Rook Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 The piano tracks are essential. Listen to the album straight through. Tis the only way yo. Dont listen to it at the same time or skip around. Disc one than disc two. Drukqs is the shiz.

aencre Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 I love the (different) vinyl tracklisting. To me listening to this album one plate at a time makes more sense.

Freak of the week Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Drukqs is definitely Richard's best album. It truly shows off Richard's geniousness, as he's capable of making slow piano tracks and ambient stuff like absolutely amazing Petiatil Cx Htdui and Gwely Mernans, just as insane drill'n'bass tracks like Cock/Ver 10. Drukqs is definitely one of most essential recordings ever.

Guest stolemb Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Ghostbusters III said: Velazquez said: 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. yeah im in fully agreement. I never saw Drukqs as a real album, its more of a compilation of unreleased tracks to me. It even sounds like unreleased stuff from I care and Saw II got on there. The piano tracks are very forgettable, and the prepared piano tracks are unforgivably pretentious and boring. The crazy drill tracks are gold, and it would be the best AFX album if it was just 1 disc instead of the filler 2. the fact that Drukqs is an unecessary filler 2 entire discs, most of Aphex Twins full albums stand up superior to it. I would rate Hangable Autobulb, Analog bubblebath 3, I care because you do, Saw II, Richard D James, Donkey Rhubarb, Melodies from mars all as better more well rounded complete works than the finished product of Drukqs. and for those of you who say "all the tracks fit on drukqs" , you would say the same thing if your favorite electronic musician recorded him making flatulences on half the tracks. People would think it was great and integral to the flow of the album. Drukqs as it stands is an extremely disjointed album. If this was his intention to have jarring track changes fine, but it doesnt work for me. the only way i can tolerate listening to Drukqs is by makign my own custom mix cd of it Not again ffs. Its saying "yeah im in fully agreement. I never saw Drukqs as a real album, its more of a compilation of unreleased tracks to me. It even sounds like unreleased stuff from I care and Saw II got on there" a fuckin trend? I don't see how anyone would say those tracks are unreleased stuff from (AND SOUNDS LIKE, FFS??') "stuff from I care and Saw II". Now I quote myself: Quote Seriously, anyone believing that "I LOST MAE MP3 WITH 99999999999 SONGS ON A PLANE" fails. Also you fail if you believe that Drukqs is just random MP3 "thrown randomly because im afraid of the guy that has the lost ipod because he can release it on the internets". Aphex worked an insanely amount of time, and put an insanely amount of effort on every single track. IMO I don't believe he has lots of "unreleased" stuff that sounds like that, due to the amount of time a track like those would take to make. Again, make a proper listen to Drukqs, CD1+CD2 straight, nigth, quality headphones, alone etc. Like someone said, "its the only way". I recommend you this since diagnost says: u dun geddit Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/18959-richard-d-james-drukqs/page/3/#findComment-390652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
