this is a post i made in the "just bought drukqs" topic (by flappy pants), but i thought it could head another topic...
like woofer would say: which do you prefer: cd1 or cd2 on drukqs? I cant decide other question: would you change the order of the tracks? i wouldnt and the last: do you think it would have been better to compile the best tracks in one only cd? I dont
I would like to see your different opinions, I know many of you think drukqs sucks... well I love druqks... just wanted to make myself clear.

I know many of you will make fun of this topic as i wrote durkqs instead of DRUKQS... it was a mistake... please answer the questions first and then laugh at me for that...

I wouldn't change a thing. I think the running order on an album like this is unimportent, both CDs have their merits, and the way it is it means that you keep discovering new things about tracks which make you like em - I've got a new favourite track off the fucker every week.

Can't Decide Change the order? no just erase them. Onto One CD Yes.
like I said in the other thread
I love drukqs, both CDs about equally, but I think every other track on drukqs is a complete waste of time, no matter
how much I love RDJ and want to call his parents singing him
happy birthday "genius", I know that there is at least a whole CD
worth of filler...
RDJ Himself said I find myself reorganizing and taking tracks I like off CD's I buy, its an MP3 album. "I hope people will do that with Drukqs"...I will find you the quote.

Is that tune for Kesson Daslef original? It reminds me of some piano melody I've heard a lot before. Is it a famous piece that he just played for the album?

i'm able to make my own drukws compilation.. so i'm quite happy...
i don't have any preferences over disc 1 or 2 because i just never listen to the record like it is.
but i'd still say that disc 1 is the most catchy. and disc 2 has some more complex tracks.

here it is xanatos:
Do you think that people can fully appreciate a double cd of yours?
RDJ: You could listen to all of it in one ago but I think you’d be dead if you did.
So the only real reason why you are putting an album out now is because you wanted to officially release as many tracks as possible before they get around unofficially?
RDJYeah, pretty much. It’s kind of like an mp3 album really. I don’t reckon that many people will do it, but the way I listen to music now is that I buy a CD, put it on the computer and just take the tracks I want anyway. I’d hope that people would to the same with this CD.

yeah I wouldn't fool with the order myself... It's cool the way it is... and I like cd2 better I think... there's a few songs on cd1 that I don't like, whereas cd2 is great all through...

hmm..aphex does have that quality..I was positive I had heard the melody of Donkey Rhubarb when I heard it..I think it's this ability to tap into the subconscious and evoke memories out of meoldies that makes RDJ ..RDJ

too true -
but
"RDJYeah, pretty much. It’s kind of like an mp3 album really. I don’t reckon that many people will do it, but the

computer and just take the tracks I want anyway. I’d hope
that people would to the same with this CD. "
is quite a cool idea : that drukqs is just a collection of songs / not an album as such [not saying that it is] .. and then making your own cd-r or two of the original 2cds - in a way makes it more personal .. and up to you what you want the track listing to be like etc ... ? :)
but i hear ya flea

there's enough good stuff on both cd's to make me like both discs equally.

I prefer CD1 by far.
I think the order is fine. The album has so many completely different styles on it that it'd be quite hard to have any sort of progression on it, unless you made one disc an ambient disc and the other a d'n'b disc. Actually, that'd be kinda cool :P
Nope, why get less when you can have more?

It's real close, but I like the first disk as I prefer the good tracks on it(like cock/ver... good stuff) and you cant forget the piano bits, man... the piano bits!
the order? dunno... but they do mix the styles up pretty good.
Nope.. I'm greedy. I want as many songs as possible, even if I have to skip a few :)

1. i prefer CD1....most definately. when i first got drukqs i listened to it 3 times before moving on to the next disc.
2. i wouldn't change the order of the tracks, one doesn't stick out as being out of place IMO.
3. definately not compile all into one disc, i like having BOTH disc's. while i like the #1 disc more, the second disc is VERY listenable also.
agreed nacmat, i LOVED druqks =]

1. CD one (only cos its a hard thing to listen to in one go and harder to choose a good track order)
2. yes (but to what i don't know)
3. no - the 'imperfections' in certain tracks bring out the good ones
it's not a flowing album but i don't think that it tries to be. there are some nice standout tracks but as a whole its not a quality album
