how many of you can actually stomach drukqs as an album? i find it totally unlistenable-sounds like a load of tracks unseqenced thrown together, but i have made two minidiscs-one with all the hardcore trackes & one with all the ambient ones-thats the only way ive been able to get into it. aaahh man im such a wuss.

oh yes i think drukqs would be a better album without cd2 well, we can save a pair of songs from cd 2...but
yes i think i will also do a compilation of the best songs of druqks

yeah, the ordering of the tracks is a little funny...but I think if he'd just put all the slow ones on one disc & all the fast ones on the other then each disc would suffer from sounding "samey" with not enough variation...
At least with the way it is currently, you get some breathing space...
Hell, who listens to LPs all in one go any more anyway?....it was important with things like Tape & Vinyl because it was a hassle to reorder things and pick and choose tracks but with CDS, MDS & MP3s it's a piece of piss to come up with a listening order that suits you anyway...

Its a difficult listen straight through... but maybe that was the intention. :)
I dont have any complaints though. Except I was expecting more drill. :(

Only about half of the pianos tickle my fancy, and some of the drills are really weird. But you eventually pick up all the little nuances, and start liking the insanity. As an album, it's thrown together, like ANY album, then people make stupid inferences as to what the track order means. It never means ANYTHING, even in Dark Side of the Moon, who gives a fuck that Money is song 5, and Time is #3. If the tracks were all mixed up, people would be like, 'oh man, the track order is AMAZING, INTEGRAL to the listening experience.' Vordhosbn could be the last song on the second disc for all I fucking care.

Well the man did mention something about, he wants people to just upload the tracks they dig from Drukqs, and then go down and get you´r money back.

nah-i dont agree that albums are just thrown together-and yeah i think running order does affect the way you percieve the whole shebang-what if pink floyd had kicked off with 'the great gig in the sky'? dark side of the moon as a 'concept album' (excuse me whilst im ill) would not have worked. my point being that the tracks are great-its just an uncomfortable listen-buts theres enough variation on each track to merit a compilation-personally i love all the drill n bass hed fuck shit-it just seems however very sparse as they appear on the cd-string em and sequance em together on a mini disc along with his quirky 20sec sample and it flows like twwweeeakle. not dissing the man-fair play to him-but the album as an album aint got that continuity of the last one. i love my drukqs comp..

I read in an interview with Richard that he just provided the "raw material" and that everyone should make their own "druqks"! ie. make your own mixtapes/discs, decide the order for yoursleves.

personally i stick on the thing and let my brain go for a walk, run, jog and roll through the album, ducking here, stopping there, smelling the flowers, dodging the lasers. It's a journey for me and whether RDJ ordered the songs with 100% intention(he said he did) or not...i pretend he did and walk with him through different moods, feelings and soundscapes. Thats this week anyway.

yeah I know, order doesn't make any difference at all... I mean, you take the Wall for instance... stick The Trial, and Outside the Wall at the beginning, and it wouldn't make any difference at all...

Or you could stick Another Bring in the Wall pt 3 after Outside the Wall... it would be like
Pink: Ok sweet, I'm out... Worms: Oh wait, theres another brick, so get back in!!!
