it seems like drukqs got a pretty negative critical reception at release, which is weird because it seems to be considered one of his best now

to me it's not one of his best, just different. i really like I Care Because You Do and the Richard D. James Album

Wish You Were Here
Pink Floyd
Wish You Were Here (1975)

Rating: Unfavorable
"Their treatment, though, is so solemn that you have to ask what the point is. If your use of the machinery isn't alive enough to transcend its solemn hum - even if that hum is your subject - then you're automatically trapped. In offering not so much as a hint of liberation, that's where this album leaves Pink Floyd." (Ben Edmonds, 11/6/75 Review)


Boards of Canada
The Campfire Headphase (2005)

Rating: 2 Stars
"On its third full-length album, this Scottish duo drops a mellow, mostly vocals-free mix of gentle synth swishes, analog pitter-patter and codeine-tempoed drum-machine beats. "Dayvan Cowboy" is a glacially pretty slow-burner, but most of the time Headphase is so sleepy it should come with Red Bull." (Christian Hoard, 11/17/05 Review)



from here



oh yeah

Drukqs
Aphex Twin
Drukqs (2001)

Rating: 1 Star
"With Drukqs, James delivers his most irrelevant album to date: a double CD, thirty-track compendium of indecipherable song titles, gratuitously weird sounds and occasional wisps of ersatz classical piano that are aimlessly pretty...Among fans of IDM, or Intelligent Dance Music, as this sort of stuff is unfortunately labeled, rumor has it that James merely loaded this record with outtakes that have been eating up space on his hard drive for years, then released the album as a deal-breaker with his label, Warp. Or perhaps the explanation for the incoherence of the album lies in its punny, unfunny title. Either way, he should never have done Drukqs, because his new noise mostly just sounds fukqed up."
