haven't gotten around to Drukqs or SAW II yet



I'd kill for some of these synths. this sounds amazing. not that it has a huge bearing, if any, on the quality of the music but bedroom/home studio recordings are so common these days that you often hear relatively cheap soft synths. an hour of the real deal with mixes this immaculate is a joy

I might be nerding out with this, but for those of you who have actually listened to the album a few times and are aware of how damn cavernous the production is, here's a slowed down version of the album.

(definitely not the preferred way to listen to it for the first time as it saps the energy out of the sound)

T/t on this is probably among my favorites of his now

haven't gotten around to Drukqs or SAW II yet

If you enjoyed it that much, listen to his Analord series - 3 hours long, but it's very similar to this, it was made around the same period of time as most of this. I don't see much of a reason to not enjoy some of it if you really like this. As for SAW2 and drukQs, they're completely from both this and each other - Saw2 is straight ambient (with some dark ambient), while drukQs is hard to classify but generally it takes Impressionism/modern classical pieces/aesthetics and fuses them with a bunch of breakbeats/drill and bass. It's by far his most out reaching and ambicious release so it's a little divisive, but I think it's his best personally.

Drukqs is my least favorite of his, but it's still good.



This, on the other hand, blows every electronic album I've heard this year out of the water.

I'm loving this so far. Doesn't really touch SAW, but I'll have to let it sink in before I figure out whether I like it better than I Care and Drukqs.

Is that synth in PAPAT the same one that Paul McCartney used in his Christmas song?

you know whats hilarious? that song reminds me of this christmas song. i used to watch this all the time as a kid, and PAPAT brings it all right back.

which after i researched it is actually the paul mccartney version, so yeah, it's definately at least a similar progression.

"there is only one Aphex Twin. And nobody does it better."

you can tell the same thing about Issues, Attila, Falling In Reverse, and almost every artist who's not a

copycat...

tbh I've never been into Aphex, Martin Garrix is far more talented if you ask me

Are all his song's titles usually like this? I'm new to this guy. I'm currently giving this album a listen and I have to say it's pretty good!

no, just here. The song titles are references to the different drum machines, synths, and programs he used to make this album.

the drukqs song titles are similarly difficult to pronnounce if you don't understand cornish but other than yeah just here, they're all named after real equipment.
