I still think Vordhosbn is the best track he's ever written. Got a lovely birthday present from my girlfriend a couple of weeks back.

 

 

NM too

 

WARPLP92 or WARPLP92X ?

Would have been nice if it was WARPLP92X (700 copies I think), it's the standard WARPLP92, lovely looking thing.

Most inspired by John Cage and if Richard denies it.. well his lying.

more Erik Satie than John Cage... but yes inspired by Satie & Cage...

don't forget Harold Budd / Eno

Drukqs takes a fucking massive shit over everything that has been released since then (in the field of electronica). BOOM!

I'm a big Ae fan but drukqs is far superior in every aspect to anything Ae has done

my opinion is better than yours.

Your opinion is irrelevant.

My statement was based on objective truth.

Lets not have delusions of grandeur...your statement, as was mine, is an opinion.

WATMM

omg guys this is definitely unreleased drukqs......

Well I guess there was effervescence in the shops back then for the release but was it also the case at parties ? I heard loads of testimonies from the "golden era" (= Classics era) stating you could hear an Aphex track in nearly every party getting thousands of people going nuts, but a lot less about thousands of people going mental on some "IDM" (sorry) tracks like Druqks at big events, infatuation just doesn't look the same.

I reckon it would be kinda less "rave" music indeed since it sounds more introspective ?

Anyway technically it must be his most accomplished album indeed but let me cold where early works fit my taste

any tasty experience about 00's vs 90's aphex related parties is welcome, I still have to build an opinion about this as I wasn't there

i partied a good bit to RDJA and Come to Daddy in the late 90's, and Windowlicker when it dropped. SAW1 for lush soundscapes, and used ICBYD mainly for studying chymistry (and maybe some physics). Didn't really get into the alts until the millennial tide shift.

SAWII i am still warming up to.

As for Drukqs:

Happy Birthday!

I still love you

And Mangle11 (Circuit Bent VIP Mix)

 

I think that one's a confirmed DrukQs outtake, no?

Woah, this is fantastic!

I wish I had the patience to sift through all of his tracks that aren't on his albums/EPs.

For what it's worth, I find The Tuss to be a beautiful merging of Drukqs-style "super-mega micro-programming" and Analord-style "working-within-limitations ingenuity". Totally filled the Drukqs void for me, and if anything improved on it with some restraint and really interesting use of gear.

Richard, if you're out there, I think I speak for everyone that we'd love to hear more :)

what made you release this double album richard?

"well, there was this bloke on watmm, he said he'd love to hear more."

@ferro4prez: Yeah, I agree. The Tuss is RDJ seven years further down the trajectory from Drukqs, still working hard and still progressing immensely on several levels. It's another reason why I view people seeing Drukqs as the "be all end all" of RDJ's output as self deceiving sentimentalists at best.
