cern Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Short example of a mind blowing Drum part in Ziggomatic 17 Quick crazy flanger/rewinding fx on hihats, hihats increasing 4 times and then Closed hihat x2 and open hihat x1 repeating that 4 times before it dies out completely. Pure perfection ziggohh.mp3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its great, sounds like how I imagine getting ECT would feel like. The swings from aggressive hard beats to moments of sweet melodies leading up to it are so good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 This album prob inspired me more than any other to make mental drill 'n' bass type shit. Perfect time to jump on that train, right as it was going out. Was fun though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to his musical progressions, I know he still made drilling noisy experimental and techno pre y2k, esp minimal stuff with mostly drums and bass and some samples. But when it comes to tracks he put out that had musical progressions, (which doesn't include Elephant lol), they were usually classical-inspired in nature at least imo (or at least derivative via the epic/euphoric trance or symphonic/ progressive electronica that was big at the time. Everything from RDJ album to HAB to AB1, AB3, ICBYD, Come to Daddy EP, and of course both SAW lps, all had good amounts of standout tracks with the kind of stuff I'm referring to. He even mentioned in an interview at the time how much he liked strings too, not that that implies much but ya know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect time to jump on that train, right as it was going out. Was fun though. I remember really liking Daft Punk as a teenager, but thinking Electronic music is fun but there is no way it can capture the emotional depth of acoustic instruments. But no turns out if you know what you're doing it can capture emotional intensity even better than acoustic instruments. I am generalizing but there is truth to that i think. First 2 songs I heard by Aphex Twin were 4 and Vordhosbn. when I heard those 2 I immediately decided I wanted to make electronic music and then I sold my guitar. It was as if the music I had been making up and hearing in my head since I was a kid was actualized and obtainable.

Hail Sagan Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Seems genuine which is honestly cool to see. DrukQs is like a trial by fire for the uninitiated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirtek Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 drukQs is as good today as it was in 2001. Better even!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirtek Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 As much as I love drukQs (and I do absolutely love it) my favourite album has to be ICBYD, simply because it totally blew me away the first time I heard it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to take one Aphex album to a desert island, it would be a hard decision between Drukqs and ICBYD.

phudoshin Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Syro for me.. less harsh n tinny than drukQs - as an album and "Go Plastic" for me in THE "drill n base" king from that era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into Syro att but now I can't help but cringe with the exception of a few tracks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
