I remember my brother downloaded it and he played it from his laptops shitty built in speakers, but even so it sounded phat as you like and i remember feeling really excited!! So i played it again later on my system, it seemed so detailed and clear but i couldn't keep up with it. i had the album for ages before I had really absorbed it |

I remember I d/l this album in August, 2001 very vividly. I went down to the local record store and also picked up "2 Remixes by AFX" the first day it came out and being blown away by the mental acid. What was the best thing about it was the fact the tracks sounded produced at different points and was compiled together. I remember that fall taking the CD with me to my trip to Europe and going to the art galleries in UK, France, Netherlands, Italy etc and listening to the album as well as seeing Richard and Luke spin a great set of electro, jungle, acid, and even some of my friend's tracks at the Ocean club and meeting like minded folks there. Makes me think of that period of my life each time I listen to it. |

must have been a collection of "holy crap!"s, "what the hell!"s, "what the fuck!"s ...and a couple of "OK"s for the piano tracks. |

ooze. |

first impression: omg waited patiently for my copy from the shop and spun them on a really shitty setup back then. was baffled and speechless about this massive output. left a strange feeling really. also i remember having thought this is a squarepusher album in a caustic disguise^^ |

i heard it on the radio i think it was 54 cymru beats and another song.i thought it was awesomely good. the guy in the radio show said :there is only two people in the world who can make this type of music aphex twin and squarepusher. |

i was really excited actually. it seemed to develope the more i listened. lasted years for me |

disappointed. it's considerably more middle of the road than his immediately previous releases- orange, rdj, ctd, windowlicker where all much more inventive and interesting records. |

thought it was mental at first. i was only young just getting into aphex / squarepusher / boards thought it was too nuts at first. slowly got into i reckon it has some of his best tracks on. its not his best album though. |

from the record store, i parked my car under some trees, put on my headphones and played disc 2. i had high expectations. i remember thinking the mix was weird, something with the high end. i also remember it blowing my fucking mind. that was a great day. |

I think I liked the tracks like Vordhosbn and Cock Ver10 more than the piano tracks at first. But it has so much variety of timbre, that the album has massive longevity. I kinda enjoyed it in layers of dancey electro, piano, experimental electro e.t.c I remember when I first discovered how amazing Mt. Saint Michel was- I was in a park on a sunny day with my friends. I said it felt like I was moving really quickly between different parallel universes and my friend said he felt he was time travelling, or somehting, I think. Another of my friends can play Avril14th on piano. I tried to learn, but it was more difficult than Matt made it look. ;) |

Also, I thought the CD was fucking up on Mt. Saint Michel :D |

I had lost interest in RDJ since "windowlicker" so I didn't bother listening to "drukqs" when it was released. When I finally did only "Avril 14th" made any lasting impression on me. It's great he is up to better stuff nowadays... |

got the leak off soulseek before release. LOVED it. didnt understand why most others didn't. "nothing groundbreaking", "he's done these styles before" and "probably fake" was the general sentiment. |

I was blown away by Jynweythek Ylow, and thought that it was a natural progression from the last track on the last release (Nannou). Then I used quite a time working my way through it. I liked it then, and still do. |

i thought DAMN |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
it was hard to get through at first, but damn if it isn't the most artistic and personal album he's ever done. no one else has really done an album like it, the mix of styles is very fitting. |

yeah its pretty unique in that sense |

i had a single 12" driver in my truck (at the time) in a 7ft^3 box (yes, in the back cabin of my truck (ext cab)) - and it did around 135+dB at 33Hz (box was tuned F3 @ 27Hz) - and my friend brought some early drukqs tracks to play and there is this low bassy moment towards the end of cockver10and we looped it till the sun was up |

i remember picking it up at the shop giving it a listen and thinking to my self "oh, this is really odd but very interesting" |

I'm the same as cuntychuck- it was instant ejaculation. |

2 disks confuse the fuck out of me |
||||||||
|
|

|

i remember i liked two or three tracks only, as per usual with really good music |
||||||||

|
|
you dont know how to aphex twin then very well both disks are solid |
||||||||
|
|

I'd rather listen to Selected Ambient Works 85-92 or Classics than Druqks. It's good stuff, but not his best...in my opinion... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i wish people would compare my works |

bear with me i discovered it only in 2003, at that time the only things i heard of him were come to daddy and melodies from mars, plus it takes decades for me to judgje such a complex piece of music with certainty, i started loving SAWII as a whole just a few months ago, figure out |

i purchased drukqs in november of 2001 and listened to taking control and meltphace 6 a thousand times in a row and gradually everything else over time |

i got and listened to the album in the way to university, and i had that unique impression when i first listened every new afx album to the date... a new sound to my ears, different and strange, i rest perplex and amazed. then i laughed on 'come on you cunts lets have some afx acid!' on the door of the library. |

That it has got too many redundant tracks; but at the same time I instantly fell in love with 'Vordhosbn'. I still think it is the best track he has ever made. |
