Drukqs

Confield > the whole Aphex Twin career, and it's not even their best album

Confield, easily. Drukqs is dragged down by the classical/piano tracks.

This. Aphex Twin is really good but AE are just on a whole other level.

Confield by a wide margin

As a record, Confield takes this by far imo. But if I listen to Drukqs the way Aphex Twin intended, then Drukqs because ultimately with Autechre I prefer most things that came out after Confield over Confield itself.

I don't understand why this board loves drukQs so much. ICBYD is easily Richard's best album

Have you listened to Surfing on Sine Waves?

>confield by far
Why? Confield is a good album theres no doubt about that, but Drukqs is Aphex Twin's magnum opus. It really is something special, the way each track takes on a new form and how I'm still able to discover new things on each track even after years of listening is just astounding. Songs like Mt Saint Michel and Ziggomatic are some of the best songs I've ever heard period. Maybe it's because I have a personal connection with the album, but Drukqs I truly believe is a masterpiece

>Drukqs is Aphex Twin's magnum opus
That's a weird way to spell Syro.
Drukqs is mediocre at best.

>this is an actual opinion of another human being

You still haven't told me why? I feel like a lot of the reason why people call Drukqs mediocre is because is wasn't critically acclaimed. And Syro is underrated but I definitely wouldn't call it his best album, while Xmas is one of my favorite tracks by him most of the other tracks don't even come close to the complexity and memorability of most of Drukqs

>You still haven't told me why?
Everytime I do this or see other people doing this the only reply is 'buzzwords'.
Drukqs is uninteresting, it's just a cheese garbage, which is also relevant to most of his stuff, and it's funny since he said the same about Radiohead. (Radiohead is also mediocre)
Aphex Twin is essentially music for people who aren't into music. It's weird enough to make them feel like patricians, and safe enough to not be repulsive.

>Aphex twin is essentially music for people who aren't into music
This makes no sense

t. someone who thinks he's really into music

How does liking aphex twin effect my enjoyment of other artists? What artists do you like?

Well I quite like Kanye West for example.

>How does liking aphex twin effect my enjoyment of other artists?
nice strawman question

>pretending to be me
why are Aphex Twin fags so vicious

Huh? He told me that aphex twin is music for people who aren't into music, I like aphex twin, why aren't I into music?
Lol

There's no reason to listen to shallow garbage like Aphex Twin if you're already into music.

You are the definition of contrarian

Autechre are my favorite group but SAW II is my single favorite album.

I like ambient music, or at the very least, things which tend to get tagged as such. I don't claim to know everything that there is to know about it, but I listen to Kevin Drumm, Andrew Chalk, quiet NWW selections, and some other things along those lines.

Despite this moderate branching out on my part, SAW II remains unironically the best. Nothing else touches it.

You are the definition of deluded pleb

You still haven't named what artists you enjoy that make you so patrician

I'm not going to spoonfeed you. Also I'm not going to waste my time with you anymore.

Don't worry user, I wasn't expecting much anyways

None

ae fans and afx fans are the same kind of people: obnoxious pretentious cunts who think they have better music taste than others because "muh complex bars" and "muh intelligent bleep bloops"

>muh strawman

>but Drukqs is Aphex Twin's magnum opus.
Top kek, you know Druqks is just a compilation of a bunch of tunes Richard still had on a harddrive. He lost an USB stick full of unreleased material and out of fear that the founder would post all his shit online he decided to make a huge album with all the unreleased tracks he liked. I love Aphex Twin under all his aliases but Druqks is far from his magnum opus.

I would say Confield is better.
Drukqs was really cool when it came out, I listen to it loads then. But I dont think it have aged that well, just like a lot of his other music.

Nobody in the thread has uttered the word IDM yet so I guess the pseuds haven't entered yet. I just like AFX and AE because of their bloops, dude. There is nothing complex about AFX and neither about AE.

I fully know the backstory behind it but how is it far from his magnum opus?

>find a usb drive
>plug it into your computer
>a bunch of crappy bleeps and bloops
>format it and put porn instead

Because he released better and more consistent albums in my opinion.

To be honest, AFX has such a cohesive style that I would recognize him through anything. Just like when he released his music through The Tuss account on MySpace.

god this place fucking sucks

But what makes his other releases better and more consistent than Drukqs. Can you be a bit more specific?

2001 was a good year

fucks, assholes, cunts, dykes, midgets fucking horses and a donkey dick sucked by an orphan. FUCK.

*burp* say what now?

>lost a USB stick full of material
>implying he didn't make that up like half the shit he says in interviews

Drukqs isn't that great as a full album though. It doesn't flow all that well, and it's full of filler. This is why I said "Drukqs the way Aphex Twin intended" because even Richard himself is aware of this, and released Drukqs the way he did because he wanted the user to find the tracks they like the most and make a playlist out of them (it was released around when mp3 files started becoming more common which incentivized Richard further with this idea). It's got some great tracks for sure, but it sure as hell isn't great 100% of the way.

this thread is idm as fuck

post yfw you realize half of the tracks on there were released so they could be licensed to tv documentaries

What tracks do you consider filler? I feel like if all the piano tracks got removed more of Sup Forums would love the album. I like them, find them pretty soothing especially after hearing one of the crazier tracks
