Ok... first, I like Drukqs. No, its not going to change the world or
the IDM scene. However, I really just generally dig the whole thing.
Another thing is that the tracks instantly register with me as being
Aphex Twin. They bare his something distinctive that automatically
tells me its RDJ. Mind you, this doesn't really hold for the piano
tracks mainly because its not a sound I ever really associated with
Aphex Twin.
So now, you are saying with very little effort, you could create a
track with the signature Aphex sound? I implore you, next 6-14 hour
session with your gadgetry, spend a little piece of time making a track
that would instantly make me think "Aphex" and that would fit nicely
with the "lazy" collection known as Drukqs. I'd really like to hear
it. Regardless, whether or not he spent little time making these
tracks either in the past year or 7 years ago, I still like it. Maybe
its because I don't make IDM and am not disecting how he did this in
VST/MAX/MSP/whatever. Ignorance is bliss I suppose.

by the way... I picked up the FSOL "My Kingdom" EP today. I didn't
know this existed! Its like a half hour 5 part suite version of one of
my favorite FSOL songs! Its awesome!
