Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 :devil: DRUKQS is one of the best albums richard made!!!!!!!!! :omg: you crazy :omg: i love the twin, but drukqs.... its not for me give me surfing on sine waves or AB3 any day... 7\ what? what? what? huh? :omg: AB3 is awesome but surfing on sine waves is just a good album : i don't listen it more than others, caustic window is better than polygon window!! but don't worry, i was just joking (Drukqs is ever one of the best albums RDJ made 4 me), it's ur taste, it's my taste... just I shared my opinion... :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Romhotep Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Agreed, Caustic Window owns Polygon Window any day of the week. As much as I adore Surfing on Sine Waves, the only track on it to measure up to tracks such as "Joyrex J4," "Joyrex J5," "Astroblaster," and "Fantasia" is "Quoth."

sneaksta303 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 To AST: Drukqs is my fave album. For the sake of this thread tho, if we deleted all of his "crappier" songs, we wouldnt have anything to compare the GREAT ones to, meaning every track would simply be mediocre/// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AOOproductions Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Cow Cud is a Twin (wrecks ICBYD, IMHO) Wrecks it! what? I mean, I can see how someone could say it disrupts the feel of the album, maybe, but for me Ventolin takes a shit on that album, whenever I try listening to the whole album I just can't do it. I feel Cowcud is one of best D n' B tracks ever and is a testament of James work with drum machines. The first 50 seconds is a little wacky, but that’s all. I think it's superb. I'd like to know why you think it wrecks it. As for Drukqs, I could do without it. some tracks are wicked like vordhosbn and MSM+SMM, those two tracks are worth the album alone. Some of the Piano tracks are beautiful and others are shit like Father... o man what a clunker. And 54 cymru beats is so good with a wicked nice sound system and blasting, it practically makes me explode. But other than that... it's okay, I guess it's just the order and arrangement of them. Many seem to think it's his Magnum Opus, does anyone agree with that? And as for deleting one track, We Have Arrived (QQT Mix), a completely unnecessary remix. I think Aphex was saying, "Im the new shit in town and I can take any track and make it less accessible but way more rad!" Well he failed, that track shouldn't have been touched.

I'd like to know why you think it wrecks it. Fascinating! Ventolin on ICBYD seriously is one of my favourite electronic music tracks .... I adore it, and think it's the high point of the album (although, of course, there are a lot of other great tunes.) I can't get enough of high pitch feedbacky squealing, listening to it gives me a unique euphoric rush that I just don't get from other frequency ranges ... I've felt that way since coming across The Jesus & Mary Chain's sublime Psychocandy. I was being somewhat melodramatic when I said Cow Cud wrecks ICBYD, but I'd rather it just not be on there. I guess it strikes me as meandering and tests my patience, and it's near the end of the LP, so my attention span has already been largely spent at that point, much like "Recury" from AE's Chiastic Slide. As to it being a "D n' B" track - wtf? I guess it is primarily composed of some drums and some bass, but that's like saying that Led Zeppelin is an R'n'B artist.. Wow, I'm genuinely surprised that I've had two folks disagree with me RE: Cow Cud; it pays to be reminded that beauty-is-in-the-eye-o'-the-whatsit and all that. I love the piano tracks on Drukqs ... I liked them so much that I started acquiring the music of Erik Satie and John Cage after hearing that they were 'tributes' to those artists.

Guest earlgrey Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 http://www.amazon.co.uk/I-Care-Because-You...iews/B000025TIZ 2 of 20 people found the following review helpful: Math or Music, 18 Sep 2004 By "alkalinescented" - See all my reviews Aphex twin raise a lot of questions with this stunning works, such as wether it is so much a fact of music or math, the likes of ventoline raises the question even more so. As much understanding of aphexs music is required as working out einstiens theory of ralativity the way it blends from song to song taking u on a rollercoaster ride from high to chill. If your not open minded this is not the album for you Haha, awesome. Dunno, I'd find it a bit easier to listen to this record than try and understand relativity theory, methinks. I think I missed why "music" and "math" should be opposed, frequencies sound the way they do because of the "math" underpinning them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AOOproductions Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 As to it being a "D n' B" track - wtf? I guess it is primarily composed of some drums and some bass hmmm... well i don't know if it is technically a drum n' base track, but it is primarily drums and not much synth at all. And I can understand how you might be a little beat up by the point you get to "cow cud", luckily it ends on a very quite and beautiful note.
