Gak is a wicked EP and and basically not one of you has any clue what's going on and that's the cold hard truth, period.

 

I think I may have been too harsh but as Aphex went on his music got worse, after 95 it starts to go down hill unlike Autechre who actually got better, Drukqs is a mess when compared to Confield, just is. GAK EP is really really good it even has the classic Aphex "train rhythm" that you hear in the Mindstream remix and the U.I. releases. Unfortunatley a lot of you guys were probably not around to experience the "techno revolution" of the late 80's early 90's so you just don't know how importantt the GAK EP probably is, it's this subtle Aphex stuff that's so important, like the Bradley Strider stuff as well, that for some reason was not included in the week by week listening session and review event that happened here on this board, I can't understand how the Bradlye Strider stuff was overlooked, insane, oh well.

STFU

GAK doesn't agree with Dinosaurs. it's a well known fact. dehydrates them and they die out.

kids love it tho! so you should like it i guess.

no you just have to like decent electronic music and not be a hipster dick.

gak is a great little ep. i'd probably buy it if i had the money.

i agree, in a way. i thought drukqs was great though pretty fragmented. i haven't really ejaculated over anything post-drukqs, unlike his early-mid 90s stuff.

signed : crazy frog!

i kinda missed you

In my opinion, GAK is definitely worth buying. I have myself purchased one on eBay last year. Some people might say that it is dull or boring, or toosimple, but to me it has some kind of a special atmosphere nevertheless. I would definitely like to hear the other demos Richard sent to Warp, from which GAK tracks have been sourced.
