so if i went and looped the sound of a train and mixed in some feedback loops that would be considered classic right? cause thats all it fucking was. There is a huge difference between classic and good. Clara Rockmore was classic and good, if someone put out an amazing theremin album now i would consider that classic. The Richard D. James album was classic cause he was just copying a whole bunch of Wendy Carlos patches. Karlheinz Stockhausen? This last group i have heard who did anything that sounded remotely like him was bits and peices of the Mr. Bungle album, Disco Volante. This is why i like Venetian Snares, they are completely un-musical yet very musical at the same time. Aaron is always doing things with timing and audio manipulation, this is the new classic and this is what electronic music was orriginaly all about, getting new sound. Drukqs was crap.

no offence, but I think those of you that are too
musically illiterate to recognize what Drukqs was/is
need to brush up on your electronic music history and
realize that there was electronic music before 1990..
check out:
John Cage
Mort Subotnick
Conlon Nancarrow
David Tudor
Vladimir Ussachevsky
Karlheinz Stockhausen
MEV
AMM
and other original pioneers of electronic/experimental
music who that album appears to me to be an homage to.
sure, it was a bit of a different direction then
people are taking these days but I think with all the
crap out there that sounds identical right now it was
nice to hear something with a more classic sound...
the prepared piano stuff on that album kicks the shit
out of most of the new electronic music I have heard
over the last few years..
hey thats just me, enjoy whatever you like.
