"His earlier stuff doesn't do as much for me. This, RDJ, and Syro feel so much more advanced."



I still do enjoy quite a bit of his old stuff (especially the more ambient stuff) but I can hear where you're coming from with that. His

soundcloud account has a wealth of his older stuff and some stuff that gets into the mid 90's as well. Definitely worth picking

through (downloads are available now) if you're a fan.



At the very least you should probably check this one out if you enjoy RDJ and Drukqs. It's feels like an awesome blend of both

worlds: https://soundcloud.com/user48736353001/28-organ

"dude Syro is way more like his earlier stuff"

Well yeah but it's like Diamond Eyes or Given to the Rising (only things that come to mind atm) in that it's a younger style revisited through more experienced eyes. If that makes sense, like combining the old and new while still moving forward in a way

Can't help but wonder if that side of the album was CCAI pt1.



Got kind of excited when I saw the EP was 13 tracks and Syro was 13 (if you included the Japanese bonus track) and tried to

assemble Drukqs II. Unfortunately it was a terrible combination. : (

^First time hearing that hypothesis. Nice. Best case scenario would be he continues to inundate us with free music on the soundcloud account and uploads it there, but that's wishful thinking on my part. Could very well be that there isn't any pt.1 at all.
