o00o Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Back when it was new I had the feeling drukqs was pretty fast even too fast. Today I perceive Ziggomatic 17, Vordhosbn and Cock/Ver 10 and pretty slow compared to todays standarts. Why is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sirch Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 because everything got faster over the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 For me, it was the fastest hardest thing I'd ever heard at the time (Cock Ver 10, Vordhosbn, and the beginning of Mount St. Michael was too fast), in addition to the Box Energy AFX remix. Since then I've listened to V-snares and Merzbow, and a couple of others. And then my friend introduced me to breakcore/speedcore/digital hardcore. And now, thanks to Ganus introducing me to more music, that stuff sounds too slow at times. In conclusion, a lot of music has been made since Drukqs, and we're getting used to it.

Guest sirch Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Squarepusher was always faster and harder than Aphex Twin, before Drukqs i mean... aswell as Bogdan, and a few others. so it wasn't the fastest hardest stuff i'd ever heard before.

Guest viscosity Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 still, i would take a heavy song (Clark?) over something fast. at a certain point i feel like the dynamics get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 There was much faster music before & after drukqs, I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlestickmaker Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 a lot of music may have been made after drukqs, but none matched it. edit: talking about the same genre (drill n bass stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 There was much faster music before & after drukqs, I don't understand. Lol, oh yea. I'd heard Richard D. James before Drukqs. 4 and Girl/Boy were pretty quick. Not sure how far back you're thinking though, sneaksta. I suppose all of that candy rave stuff was kind of crazy. And no one said there wasn't. Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, and Datach'i happened to be my introduction to electronic music. I haven't been on the boat very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneaksta303 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I didn't mean composed by afx necessarily, and was just talking about speed. But yeah, to me Drukqs is the same speed it always was, and just as powerful and lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blsked Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You should listen to some Mozart. That stuff got really slow in the last 250 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candiru Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I thought this thread was about the overall pacing of the album. But Ziggomatic? Slow? Nuh uh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarion Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 When I tried to play Drukqs tracks in Audiosurf, it would always detect them at half or quarter speed, and you'd get a really leisurely ride. I'm not sure why this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why this is. Ha, playing Selected Ambient Works vol. 2 is brutal. Rhubarb is ridiculously hard. Then again, I haven't played those songs since 4 years ago, so maybe I just sucked at audiosurf at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr lopez Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 wait so we're complaining about the speed? who cares? I haven't heard much as rich as what he crammed into each track, regardless of the speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardcode Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 todays standards are actually slower. no one listens to breakcore and/or drum and bass anymore because they go for the low hanging fruit (dubstep). the average music listener is not a thinker.
