Very curious how this one will sound. I hope more Drukqsy!

I totally could control myself this time by not ordering from Bleep.
Waiting for it to arrive in my local record shop. Cheaper and faster than Bleep!

If the leak I have isn't fake, its pretty much what I thought it would sound like, and thus a tad boring.



Also, baflo has a record store? :shock: WHERE!

:wink:

the computer controlled snare drum photo from the long interview looks awesome.

From the first minute or so I thought it could almost be a boc track cuz of the drums. I like this, dunno why acoustic necessarily means boring in a lota people's books. Isn't it the opposite cuz it's something fresh and new? Anywho that's how I look at it.

I think this is leagues ahead of Syro.

This is pretty good.

great stuff

clever that he made it to be played at 33 and 45 rpm

it's a nice drop of Aphexian tonic to dull the slight disappointment of Syro

I still find it funny how he opened with three killer tracks (which we'd already heard), then the rest are just... boring? There are a couple of tracks from the middle section that I like though.

Well, I've listened to it and... doesn't do anything for me. Snar2 is pretty cool though.

I am speaking as a fan of the RDJ album and someone who 'liked' drukqs, and found Syro wicked for a few tracks then underwhelming.

It just feels a little bit bland to me this EP. Cool concept but...
