Drukqs (a.k.a. One of the Greatest Albums EVER)

This post is brought to you by about 3 Amber Bocks that Daryl bought me for watching Judah, and an "adult size" Bud Ice. By the way, today was my last day of class for college for the rest of my life. Just thought i'd let you know....

Tonight's topic of discussion is Aphex Twin's Drukqs, which is in the top 4 greatest albums of all time. Okay, maybe 5. I'm going to listen to the entire album now and tell you thoughts on each track. P.S. - a lot of the track titles are in Cornish. Which is why they seem nonsensical. They mean things, it's just Cornish. DON'T STRESS. Also, i might tend to do this in a style that's influenced by doing a lot of coffee tastings. Just roll with it. (P.S. - When i say prepared piano i mean this. I'm to lazy to explain what i'm talking about.)


Disc One
1. Jynweythek - Prepared piano. Beautiful. Delicious.
2. Vordhosbn - Also delicious, but glitchy. Kind of sad, makes me want to cry a little.
3. Kladfvgbung Micshk - More prepared piano, not as beautiful as "Jynweythek" but still delicious.
4. Omgyjya-Switch7 - Maybe the best track on the album? I want more that almost anything in the world to have been able to write this track. It makes me want to cry also, but not because it's sad, but because it's so good.
5. Strotha Tynhe - Regular piano. Reminds me of my mom. I love her.
6. Gwety Mernans - Brooding. Piano. Awesome low end.
7. Bbydhyonchord - I'm bobbing my head, right now. It's that good. One of the few arguably "normal" tracks on this album.
8. Cock/Ver 10 - Similar feeling to "Omgyjya-Switch7". Makes me want to cry is so good. Glitchy. DELICIOUS.
9. Avril 14th - Beautiful piano. Makes me think of my mom. I love her. (P.S. - I took piano from the age of 7 to 18, and my mom was my teacher, hence the mom comments).
10. Mt Saint Michael + Saint Michaels Mount - Chris Cunningham did a video using this track called "Monkey Drummer" in which he used the arms and leg(s) of the drummer from the Sugarcubes. Little known fact. I JUST BLEW YOUR MIND. (P.S. - the monkey in this video uses his penis that's a drum stick to play part of the track.) WHY DO SUCH AMAZING THINGS LIKE THIS EXIST!?) Second best track on this record, i think...
11. Qwarek - Spooky. People that sound like ghosts are talking/screaming. I love it.
12. Orban Eq Trx 4 - Great beat. I'm bobbing my head. Short track. Delicious.
13. Aussois - More people talking. 13 second track. WHATEVS.
14. Hy A Scullyas - More prepared piano. BEAUTIFUL.
15. Kesson Daley - Regular piano... Mom, i love you!

Disc Two
1. 54 Cymru Beats - Really kind of an abrasive track, but DELICIOUS. 3rd greatest track on this record? Probably.
2. Btoum-Roumada - I'm tripping out! Church organ? Maybe kind of? But with bells or something? Richard James is GENIUS.
3. Lornaderek - Awww!!!! Richard's parents wishing him a happy birthday on his 28th. SWEETEST THING EVER!!!! CORNISH OLD PEOPLE ARE SO CUTE!!!!!!
4. Penty Harmonium - Sounds like an accordian? Maybe organ again. I'm drunk, i don't know....
5. Meltphace 6 - Okay so basically this AFX. At least to me. I don't know if that means anything to anyone else....
6. Bit4 - 25 second weird noisy track. Delicious.
7. Prep Gwarlek - Prepared piano. Abrasive. I love it.
8. Father - Piano. Very un-mom though. Just for the record.
9. Taking Control - Second normally titled track on the album. Glitchy. Over 7 minutes. Delicious.
10. Petiatil Cx Htdui - Piano? Prepared piano? No, normal piano. Haunting. Beautiful.
11. Ruglen Holon - Okay, NOW we got some prepared piano.
12. Afx237 V7 - AFX is in the title of this track!!! What does that mean? Wait.... i think this is track Chris Cunningham used for Rubber Johnny......
13. Ziggomatic V17 - Glitchy. Delicious. Damn... over 8 minutes. Intense.
14. Beskhu3epnm - Prepared piano. Brilliant. I love it.
15. Nanou2 - "Avril 14th" all over again, but just as awesome.

Bottom line. This album is one of the most important albums of all time. Not even joking. Even though i'm drunk.
