brian trageskin Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 i'm listening to drukqs 2 with headphones (haven't had headphones for ages/haven't listened listened to drukqs since ages) and well, drukqs 2 is far better than cd1 IMHO. btoum roumada is great, i never really noticed. meltphace 6 is the fucking shit. the playlist is way more cohesive, drukqs 1 is too sketchy, too many fillers. yeah, there are some fillers in d2 but they're in the right place, they really add something to the album. holy shit, taking control is so fucking cool and twisted. yeah this album definitely delivers, this is the kind of shit i expect from the man. it is taking me to unsuspected places. one cool thing also is to kind of discover all these little "under-sounds" i never really gave attention to in d1. so many arrangements, so many ideas, maybe too many. d2 is more simple regardind production imo and reaches its goal. ok there are some epic wagnerian arrangements in afx237 v7 and ziggomatic but they don't add complexity to the album. it's like a journey through different landscapes, you walk/run through isolated/wide open/mystical places, and it seems like there's always something new/hidden behind the horizon (yes i'm a poet). thank you richard d. james for this great album and i hope the new one's gonna kill me. bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 i agree but i listen to them one after the other and judge them as a whole and i like them both the same (lots) so actually i dont agree at all sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 brian, let me be the 1st to welcome you to 2001. For me it's a toss up. I think I like disk 1 metter just because it has Mt. St. Michel & Vordhosbn... The piano interludes are better too if I remember right. 54 beats, ziggo, and taking control are amazing though of course.

xyrofen Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I kind of have to disagree. I like Jwenthek Ylow, Vordhosbn, Cock/Ver10, and Mt. St. Michel Mix+St. Michael's Mount way too much. I quite like Avril 14th, Kesson Dalef, and Orban Eq Trx4 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marf Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 you mean that strong gating effect? 54 cymru beats at 5:00 is way more annoying then that gating effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest theSun Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 54 cymru has a build up to the chaos, and there is a cool rhythm that is almost danceable in that part. mt st michel is just an annoying effect getting turned up (apparently a gate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suffocate Peon Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't agree. I don't think it has as many strong tracks as disc 1, and the order of the tracks isn't as good. Petiatil Cx Htdui and Ziggomatic 17 are my favourites. Whenever I listen to Meltphace 6, it begins and I think it's sublime, but I don't enjoy the rest. Something about it that I can't get into. I love Btoum-Roumada and Penty Harmomium. I find the order of the tracks on disc 1 to be pretty perfect. Vordhosbn after Jynweythek Ylow, Bbydhyonchord after Gwely Mernans, Gwarek2 after Mt. Saint Michel Mix+St. Michaels Mount. Disc 1 is amazing in the middle, from track 6 to track 11. Whereas disc 2 lags in the middle, after Meltphace 6. 3 filler tracks, then Taking Control, which I'm not keen on, then 2 more piano tracks. Afx237 V7 onwards is fantastic. I can listen to disc 1 and enjoy it as a stand alone album, but I'm less satisfied if I just listen to disc 2 on its own. I rarely listen to disc 2 straight after disc 1 because I've had enough by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
