wow, how can you call drukqs aphex's worst album? you're wrong, all wrong.
Chris Clark is one of the only electronic artists that innovates these
days. He maxes out his mastering the same way funckarma do and there's
certainly no clipping to be heard!
His earlier stuff is definately worth a listen, if you havent already!
