Yeh i got it when it was released on CD AND vinyl.
Straight away i loved 1 or 2 tracks but never got into it as a full album.
However, when i hear any of the tracks in a mix, either downloaded from an XLTer or something i mix myself or at a gig or even on channel 4 advertisement.... i fooking love em.
Druqks for me is a colection of quality tracks thst work best outside the album.
anyone else feel the same? Have you found the songs work best in a different setting?

i haven't listened to it in a very long time...it's still my favourite album though - it's probably the reason why i love to hear its tunes in mixes, live sets..
but it works great as a whole for me as well, i can listen to it the whole way through and enjoy the whole thing..

I had exactly the same experience. Individually I like pretty much all of the tracks, as an album it's wank though. I can't even sequence the tracks in an order I like...just individually and it's better when I'm not expecting them.

Never listened to it as a whole...but I think that druqs has some of the best AFX tracks ever released...

I agree it's an uncomfortable album to listen to as a whole, it just doesn't flow at all. I could listen to an album of the ambient or of the piano pieces, but listen through a "drill" album? I don't think such a thing is endurable. I think the, for want of a better term, "drill" tracks (which I know aren't drill at all) are so rich (Rich) in content, so effortlessly combining different themes and structures, that you can only take them one at a time, to really appreciate them. I am still hearing new things in it, but, as people say above, mainly by listening to tracks individually.

songs about my cats by snares is pretty hard work to listen to all the way through

Some genres, especially in the broadly termed "dance" domain, just don't make for good albums.

I consider this album a classic.
And I wouldn't even talk about the flow. It is intentional. The tracks are so varied it would be impossible to maintain any kind of coherence anyway.
And Ziggomatic v17 is a personal reminder to me of why life is so incomprehensibly great that I have to take a moment to regather myself slightly.

i've had the pleasure to experience that, it sounded pretty damn awesome, especially when it breaks down for the first time with the melody and bass. "Doom, doom doom, doomdoom doom" oh yeah

Drukqs is the most complete album that I heard,that works like my mood changes,the cd 1 is amazing and the cd 2 have great tracks (like Ziggomatic,one of my favorites).
I really enjoy the piano tracks (Kesson Dalef),when I am in a calm mood or half sad but when I put omgyjya-switch or vordhosbn on,everything starts to get better.
(gorgeous synths and great beats)

i love druqs. it was the second aphex album i bought. i remember putting it in and being like "what in the holy fuck is this??" i liked the piano pieces right away, but i had to force myself to listen to the whole thing for awhile. then it just grows on you.
out of all his albums it's still probably my least favorite though. i don't think it has as much feeling as everything else.
