He'll release some new stuff soon. Don't worry guys.

wish i could "relive" drukqs, it was an awesome experience... but also now i'm exploring more and more details in the tracks. richard is truly my great idol.

I've always found that "I Care Because You Do..." is really easy to skip over. So go listen to that, and then everything else should come flowing back. At least for me it does.

I Care Because You Do is his best album.

I've been so addicted to Acrid Avid Jam Shred lately, it is too good. God the way it just keeps building up...

and followed by Waxen Pith, brilliant.

You should have heard some of the crazy shit he pulled out at the Sandsifter. Crazy. I'm sure he's keeping busy. But whether or not he'll release anything is uncertain. For me he has nothing left to prove. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he left it at that.

Edit: Acrid Avid Jam Shred : Favorite Aphex track. Such a great insight into his compositional strategies.

I only really listen to SAW and MFM anymore.

Not the biggest fan of drukQs, yeah it's got quality tracks like Ziggomatic and Mt Michel but all that piano wankery. can't bear a full listen-through.

don't be an artist/genre challenged twit...go and listen to other stuff than fucking aphex.

a lot of people here probably do.

rarely gets played actually

doubt it

i've hardly listened to aphex in more than a year.

doubting Caustic?

it depends on the mood. sometimes i listen to stuff i'm normally just dj:ing (there's so much stuff that is great )

I hardly listen to Aphex Twin: http://www.last.fm/user/nahob

If anyone says they havn't grown tired of their fav artists(whether it be techno or the stones) they are lying. Just wait a bit, listen to the main stream radio stations, enjoy them. Then come back in a week or so and listen to your favorite song again aand you'll orgasm a little bit.

Some gabber, 5 hours nonstop drum'n'bass or something with guitars will do as well, it really helps.

It's like cleaning your room or brushing your teeth. You don't like it but you know it's for your own good.

get the fuck out of here with your drukqs hating. just because you don't get it doesn't mean it's not amazing.

drukqs is good and I like the piano wankery

drukqs isn't really fitting with other aphex works though

I didn't say it wasn't good, jeez...

I said it was "quite good" lol.

Anywayzz I havent listened to any aphex for ages so looking forward to dipping into drukqs and SAWII on the weekend while getting pissed, will remind me of uni. Also Analord 02 *MUST* be played at just under 45rpm. It is a fucking revelation.

don't be coy with me! you've been bringing drukqs down the whole time. every here and there you'll throw in a quick little jabber against it...but i'm watching, and waiting...

the rjd album is still great, but it seems tame somehow now. come to daddy and windowlicker don't seem to excite me as they once did, although i can always give bucepalous bouncing ball a listen. druqks is still great, but i spend less and less time listening to it. analord is still an experience, yet i much prefer listening to the tuss, which i still haven't tired of.

basically, the tuss seems to have much more depth, as does analord.

I have listened to rushup edge more than anything else in my entire life and I still get shivers every time I hear it.

There's something weird going on there. There was a time a few months ago when it would have qualified as an obsession.

i disagree, i find that the tuss became tiring surprisingly quick. at first, i thought it had lots of depth too, but not long after, maybe a few months, it started sounding really dull to me, which is something that's never really happened to me with RDJ's music, which is yet another reason why I believe the tuss isn't him/isn't him alone
