Amazon.com essential recording
If techno ever does become the sound of young America, don't expect Richard James to be its poster boy, deserving though he may be. A native of Cornwall, England, James is obsessed with the mechanics of music making: As a kid, he took apart and reassembled the living room piano. Under the names Aphex Twin, Polygon Window, AFX, and other aliases too numerous to mention, he showed that he could make entire tracks with the sounds produced by tapping on a Coke can. Like the indie rockers of yore, he revels in his marginality because of the creative freedom it gives him. His full-length U.S. debut, Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994), includes some of the most serene sounds this side of the Orb, but his favorite hobby is the not-at-all-blissful pastime of driving a Daimler Ferret Mark 3 tank through his parents' backyard.None of his recordings have captured the competing impulses to lull you to sleep and blast out your eardrums as well as Richard D. James, his third and best album. As the title indicates, James has turned inward for inspiration, painting aural pictures of real and imagined scenes from his west country childhood. "Goongumpas" is a fanciful, playful tune that wouldn't sound out of place on the soundtrack to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. As his adventures with the family upright indicate, James was a bit of a devil even as a child. "Beetles" is the sound of a boy frying bugs on the sidewalk with a magnifying glass, and "To Cure a Weakling Child" shows flashes of the sort of sadism found only on preschool playgrounds. If you still doubt that young Richard developed early on, the romantic Nino Rota-style strings on "Girl/Boy Song" are just made for passionate seductions, and the tune appears in three mixes, each one hot and hornier than the one before.
The raucous undercurrents of even his calmest tunes and the sources of many of his most common sounds are what link James to the rock tradition. With Richard D. James, the artist solidifies his position as an electronic music mastermind who has earned a spot beside such well-respected innovators--whether or not he's destined for stardom. --Jim Derogatis

Not perfect, just almost perfect.......2007-06-07
THe music? Like I say, samples always HELP, but they sure don't always means it's bad or good. Fortunatly, I had no trouble picking up the music. It's got good atmosphere, especially on songs like Beetles and Milkman. I still haven't figured out how they relate to himself and his life. That's the main theme, hence the title. The songs are a hit or miss basically, you will either like them or you won't THe beats aren't regular beats (like Fatboy Slim
It's really really cool, but it's still not exactly the best album ever. I like You've Come A Long Way, Baby, a lot better, but this is great electronic music. _____ electronic music haters. It's a great (very great) genre. It's not poppy either. It's the opposite. So don't expect any ____________ songs like We LIke To Party.

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Often proclaimed as electronica's one true genius, Richard James, a.k.a. Aphex Twin, returns with a double CD that showcases his cleverness as well as his inevitable inscrutability. Still, amid macabre birthday songs, unsettling screams, and other bizarre touches, Drukqs offers the most technically accomplished and beautiful tracks of Aphex Twin's career. Every aspect of the Aphex brain is on display here, from stark pieces performed on sampled piano and zither to Squarepusher-styled drum & bass implosions, all informed by that peculiar Aphex treatment of bittersweet melody and unparalleled programming. For an artist once engrossed in homages to his dead twin brother and grotesque videos, Drukqs shows James getting by purely on music alone."Mt. Saint Michel Mix" starts as maddening drum & bass, but is soon transfixed by glowing tones, hand drums, and police sirens. "Vordhosbn" is all acid beats and mad synths matched with fart-bombs and haunted cries. "54 Cymru Beats" sounds more like the tweaked-out, goofball techno of Wagon Christ than Aphex, while "Taking Control" goes metaphysical with cerebral synth-drums and muddled vocals. If Drukqs is the result of medication James has been imbibing during his three-year hiatus, then this is indeed better living through chemistry. Regardless, his music is still as beautiful and frothy as ever. --Ken Micallef

Little Green Man.......2007-06-29
Draw the line.
Sucked in........2007-04-23
This album flows together very nicely if played continuously through. There are about ten electronica tracks, 10 piano pieces and a few scattered ambient tracks. Some of the trip-hop tracks really slap you in the face with how involved they are... But the piano pieces are truly beautiful.
Definitely my favorite Aphex Twin album.
Gotta B on druqks to undestsnde unnerstudit unistoou ......? Never mind.......2006-10-31
A few years ago, I saw a movie called "Pi". It was a low budget black and white film based on the subject of intelligence and insanity, and the soundtrack that supported this film had a series of artists that I have never heard of before. Watching the film, I just loved all that strange electronic music playing in the background, so I knew I just had to find the CD soundtrack of the film "Pi".
On the soundtrack, I saw that Aphex Twin had a track on it. I don't remember this track in the film ("Bucephalus Bouncing Ball"), but I sure loved this bizarre electronic collage of dissonant noise. Plus, this CD soundtrack introduced me to alot of new artists, all making a new sound in electronic music that I have never heard before. This new music is called IDM, which means "intelligent dance music". But, I think it should be called ADM meaning "addictive music", because that's what this new music has become to me. I have a hard time listening to regular music anymore. This IDM is very motivational music to listen to. This music gives me all sorts of nervous energy which has turned me into a healthier, more physically toned, workaholic. When I'm in an IDM music euphoria, I can't sit still. After buying the soundtrack of "Pi", I ended up looking for more CD's with this new IDM sound.
This could easily be anyone's favorite CD from Aphex Twin. It doesn't really matter which Aphex Twin album you buy first (although, "Selected Ambient Works: Volume Two" would not be a good idea). But, you know, you can't just allow yourself to be satisfied with this one CD. However, if you don't have a lot of music like this, than it can seem to become too repetitious and become tiresome rather quickly if you just let yourself play this CD too much. Even I don't care to sit through the entire playback of just the one CD. But, I have determined that this music from Aphex Twin should be played within a mix of other Ambient Dub and other various glitch and IDM related electronica. To just play these 30 songs over and over, end to end, can get dull rather quickly. But if you listen to these songs mixed in and shuffling with about another hundred IDM instrumentals than you will truly appreciate Aphex Twin's participation in the overall bigger picture of today's electronic instrumentals.
I have these two Aphex Twin CD's shuffling amongst others in my 200 CD carrousel. These tracks by Aphex Twin are being mixed up with tracks by Autechre, Gescom, Phutureprimitive, Squarepusher, Pete Namlook, Biosphere, The Orb, The Higher Intelligence Agency, Sounds From the Ground, Electric Skychurch, Plaid, Boards of Canada, and various other similar artists of which Aphex Twin belongs with.
I also have these songs and other IDM and Ambient Dub tracks burned onto ATRAC CDR's that is made through the SonicStage program made available only by Sony. (Check out some of Sony's ATRAC CD players and find out why burning hours of your favorite tunes onto a single CDR is better than just loading an ipod with mp3s) Burning hard copies is definitely better than just floating your music in a temporary storage unit like an ipod. (You can make 32 hour CDR's, and as many as you want from all your CD's and mp3s. How many songs can your single ipod hold?)
Anyway, Kudos to you for discovering this Aphex Twin CD, but now, explore some of the other artists I've mentioned above. You will love this new world of sound that you've discovered. It is more vast than you could ever imagine.

OK is one phrase that's universally known and understood, and on OK Talvin Singh tries for a similar global connection. A classically trained tabla player, he's performed with Björk and Massive Attack, holds his own club nights in London, and is the leading light of the burgeoning Asian Underground movement--in other words, a man of many parts. He brings them all together here--the Bollywood strings, the kannakol patterns of Indian music, and the skittering rhythms of drum & bass and jungle--to create something that is new and thoroughly vibrant. This is Britain at the millennium, drawing on its immigrants, full of Eastern promise, and ready to dive headlong into the future. An album of both intelligence and passion, it is more than OK; it's a complete marvel. --Chris NicksonCustomer Reviews:

Salvaje y Descarado.......2005-04-11
Este caballero de ascendencia india ha remezclado canciones de grandes nombres como Madonna, Björk y David Bowie, y sin embargo, su principal aportación, en mi opinión, es levantar la cortina de seda transparente que separa mundos acústicos tan diversos. Albergo con codicia dos de sus trabajos: Ok y Ha.
Ok es salvaje y descarado, un álbum lleno de monosílabos que te invade, inunda y empuja sin timidez alguna. Sus melodías son rocambolescas, llenas de texturas deslumbrantes, hartas de gozo y encanto. Es un viaje en un atestado y humeante autobús indio. Los baches te destrozan la espalda, el olor de las especias te ahoga y dopa, el griterío te excita y aterra a la vez. Y sin embargo, hay un momento de quietud entre la zozobra, una puesta de sol a través de cristales sucios. Una lágrima entre sonrisas.
El mundo está lleno de sonidos, de voces, de ritmos, de melodías. Quiero devorarlos todos, saciar mi apetito descomunal. Talvin Singh me ha llevado al este. ¿Quieres acercarte conmigo?

This is a good CD.......2006-03-03
Final Grade: 93%.......2005-06-19
One of the best things about this album is its flow. The first tune, Lusty, is fantastic, really introducing you into the sound and the feel...only to be pulled in even more with the second track, Godbless. By the time you reach Cottonwool, you feel impressed by weary that since most albums dont continue so strongly the third track should be less than the previous two...wrong. It only gets better and better. Now of course they couldn't keep you up on such a climax so after "letting you inside their house", they give you a tour of the rooms.
The album has no real flaws, though you end up feeling that it could of been better though. Which is why they only receive 93(just above an A minus) out of 100 in my book. But of course, few albums score the required 97% to be considered a Masterpiece (Check Maxinquaye for such brilliance)
Finding "Someone" is like Finding Yourself a "Home".......2005-02-25
The first song I hear her carry was "God Bless," and I thought that it was beautiful. There was so much motion in the tune, the beat shuffling with little motions and a drum-n-beat soul, and yet she was in the center, like calm in the storm. As I listened I noticed she was doing something odd for a drum-n-beat song too, singing about love as the song modified in its complexities and doing it well. And I found myself happy with it, thinking "yeah, I know exactly what she's saying."
"Here's to happiness."
This introduction wasn't a fluke, either, because so much of what Lamb is sounds just like that. There are mad shuffling beats here and there, silent and then frantic in songs like Cotton Wool, and yet Rhodes is there singing about love and offering a heart and it all seems to make sense. There are also deep symbols-n-bass beats that move through almost dark motions, with Trans Fatty Acids working as an example of that, and she still stands above it promising that she'll protect the heart from winter's chill. I also have to note the warm embrace of tracks like Gold when I cite something lovely, the fondness brought out in a track like Closer, and beautifully-written songs like Gorecki. God, I like that song enough not to try to describe how pretty it is.
There's another side of that emotional scope too, with the other the emotive sonnet sometimes echoing a very believable pain. Rhodes carries that just as well as she does love and adoration, speaking hymns of loneliness like a believer, and those little drifts are so full. Zero is a song that speaks an aloneness that many can agree with because it sparks what hearts truly feel when they hurt or are alone. And Feela talks about the pain that comes when something is over, when tears are shed and the world seems broken, and its minimalist beat and lyrics convey that so well. "This could have been something, this could have been really something, tell me something more, tell me something more worth living for." It seems - painful - when that songs bleeds to stage.
I'm not really sure what else should be said about someone that talented, save that her musical compatriot is equally-gifted when it comes to the motions of the beat. And the albums keep this tempo, getting better as time progresses.
Great music vs Awful lyrics.......2005-01-06
Start your Lamb investigations, with this, their debut album.......2004-11-25
This, their debut album, is a perfect encapsulation of what the band do best. The opener "Lusty" is a energetic starter, with insistent Jungle breakbeats immediately kicking into action, building up into something, although not quite something to actually dance to, is rhythmically more intense than Lamb are usually known for, the torch bearing vocal of 'Louise' is a particular standout here, never quite allowing the buzzing beats to drown out her bittersweet lyrics.
"Cotton Wool" is more akin, to the abstract drum patterns usually associated with someone like "Squarepusher" or "Aphex Twin", and although never quite reaching that level of intensity (as it would break the flow of the song), but still retaining that (subtle) level of skittering & Broken drum beats, that they are know for. Which is at odds with its melancholic Cool jazz arrangements, and even Louise's vocal timing sits slightly uncomfortable with the constantly changing & rapid fire beats. Yet in spite of itself, it works remarkably well, and its a testament to the production skills of producer "Andrew Barlow", to bring all these disparate elements together, to make one of the tightest songs on the album. (In an offbeat kind of way).
If there is a song on the album that marks itself out as epic, then "Trans fatty Acid" is easily that track. A 7:37 minute modernistic masterpiece that pushes every theatrical button, and Soothing, reflective soul-inflected groove it can lay its hands on. Elegant, without being obvious, Jazz-referencing without trying to be knowingly cool, Sensual without resorting to cliche, sinister strings, throbbing Cello bass, and a dark sense of romanticism, with detached cool, underpin this track. And 'Louise' assumes a wistful cathartic diva poise, to jaw-dropping effect. (that 'Portishead' comparsion I made earlier isn't sounding so crazy now, is it??)....such is the brilliance of this track, that Chill-out kingpins "Kruder & Dorfmeister" would later remix this track for their "K&D Sessions" album.
What follows later is a sublime mix of Classical-inspired instrumentals ("Merge"), organic Trip-Hop coupled with smoky Jazz ("Gold"), muted chamber music, ingeniously devised dexterous synthetic bass and intricate drum programming, that although never truly took 'Lamb' into the mainstream in the same way as 'Portishead' & 'Tricky' were able to, they were able to make a significant impact on the underground Trip-hop scene. And also like Portishead / Tricky / Massive Attack, this is a album that became part of the 'Trip-Hop' explosion in the mid 90's, and even now, going back to it, some 6-7 years later, it still feels as vital as it did on its initial release.

A decade of AMP.......2007-05-14
"Block Rockin' Beats" definitely starts the disc off on the right foot, with some hard and heavy breakbeats as only the Chemical Brothers can make them. "Atom Bomb" put Fluke on the map, and rightfully so. Underworld was at the top of the techno game throughout the late 90s, and "Pearl's Girl" is literally flawless in production. "We Have Explosive" = KILLER. "Ni Ten Ichi Ryu" is a minimal, offstep drum & bass track, with a nice, almost oriental feel (hence the Japanese title, I suppose). "Girl/Boy Song" is far from Aphex Twin's best track, but its cool instrumental melody and scattered beats do well here as a contrast track, and you can almost understand what Aphex is about. Almost. Likewise, "The Box" is certainly not Orbital's best track, but it really gives a good feel for the group and the genre. Tranquility Bass drops a dark, deep, trip-hoppy track. "Inner city Life" is a drum & bass classic, and one of the main reasons I still listen to techno. The "Voodoo People" remix is the best version of another classic techno track. "Are You There" can get repetitive, but it builds and builds with acid breaks over a nifty answering machine sample. "Busy Child" brought the Crystal Method instant credibility, and staying power. And of course, what better way to finish it off than with some harsh, angsty Digital Hardcore from the master of that trade, Alec Empire and Atari Teenage Riot.
When I was 18 and still discovering techno music, this CD helped me to understand the different styles and popular artists, and opened the door for me to forge my own ideas about what was worth listening to. Incidentally, within a year of my buying this CD, I owned every full-length CD with the songs on this album. Absolutely worth it.

It has the biggest artists in electronic music, as well as some of their most famous tracks. Of course, this cd may not appeal to the "bang-bang-boom-boom" techno-fans, because every track on this album is pure flowing style. Real quality. Buy it NOW.

Music that lacks soul or emotion.

Eh, it was alright...........2002-01-15
I didn't really care for this CD once I learned it was their remixes Vol 1. I feel that artist should do their own stuff instead of specializing in other's styles and work. At least do their own work first off, then do remixes after they've been out a while. Maybe the person at this party shouldn't have played a remix album by RITM and instead brought an album done by RITM. I've only heard a couple of songs that RITM has done on their own. They've become famous doing remixes, and that's all I hear about them now. "It's a RITM remix of BT's song or Oakenfold's song!" Blah blah.
I don't have a problem with remixes. Oakenfold, BT, Tiesto, Special DJ K, PVD, etc all of them had done their share of those. BUT these artists ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR OWN DANG ALBUMS TOO! They do their own work and try not to make money off other artist's work and style by mixing it up.
After this RITM CD was over with, I placed my C.M. "Vegas" cd into the player.
I just feel they should be doing their own stuff more often than not.
Remixes worth getting.......2001-10-14
A good collection with highlights including the brilliant collaboration with Humate on 'East' and their stunning remix of Orbital's 'Are We Here?'.

This CD is an outlet for the loose coalition of remixers, DJs, and studioheads known as the Asian Underground (because of their Asian or Anglo-Asian backgrounds). They all put a distinctly Indian spin on this music, with the dhol drum at the heart of the beat, and all the technology on top. Singh's two tracks are things of joy, but nothing here disappoints, whether the modern film music of A.R. Rahman or the drum'n'bass of State of Bengal. --Chris NicksonCustomer Reviews:

Medely of Dark Minimal Tech-House that doesnt get boring.......2007-04-19
The CD starts out hard and bumping with a aggressive semi-industrial tune and quickly switches to more melodic and harmonic tunes building back up to a combination of bouncy tracks and Mid-based Tunes.
I can strongly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys the dark side of house and yet is bored with techno and minimal alone.

A relentless tech mix that starts off with a bang........2006-08-30
Two solid tech house tracks follow, especially Touane's snappy track Bassic, and it's right into the gritty, churning, techno sound of Thomas Schumacher's incredible track Rotor. The mix then hits a very slight snag in track 7, which I feel is one of only two so-so parts of the mix. It's not bad, it's just a little too light and bubbly tech house for my liking. It's quickly forgotten as the mix races through with 4 solid tracks in a row, and right after the melodic Freefall, it's into Tiefschwarz's own remix of a Depeche Mode track. This is the only other slight miss in the mix for me, as I feel the track was a tad too long at nearly 7 minutes, and could have been trimmed to better fit the flow of the mix. Another solid melodic track is next, and we end with the dubbed out vocals of Kate Wax.
Overall, it's an exciting tech house mix that's a full lineup of solid tracks, with not a bad one in sight, and very few dips in the scorching pace of one, very sound, top to bottom mix. Do not miss picking this one up, as it's easily in the top 5 techno/tech house mixes this year.
