Drukqs = Drug Use?

I read somewhere that the title "Drukqs" when pronounced
correctly sounds out "drug use".

"drukqs"
"druk q's"
"drug q's"
"drug use"

thoughs?

I always just thought it was Drugs.

yeah, i saw it as random misspelling that at a glance says
what you'd expect to see
subliminal messages or somethin?

that's from a joke in the opening line of
pitchforkmedia.com's review of drukqs. it was like "Drukqs?
Druk-yoos? Drug Use? Is this another one of the Twin's
cryptic pranks?" or something like that.

I remember reading a [very negative] review of drukqs in
rolling stone around the time of its release and the author
(who gave it like 1.5 stars) concluded by commenting that it
sounded pretty "fuckqd up"

drugs or drug use.. and that he's past his
drug/experimentation stage

Its Drug Use... what else could it be? It's just like
Richard to deny it too. Oh well, everybody is gonna take it
their own way, I'll stick with Drug Use.

All I heard is that it is a word gamble.

It has a celtic meaning. Richard has a relation to celtic (
which relays in his past far away )
It means translated in English like
Push it - Like push the buttons
Maybe on Electronic Gadgets
Maybe on his piano - related to his very beautiful piano
tracks which are on Drukqs.

Maybe I m right - Maybe I m wrong.

In the end it s what Richard wants us about. He a master of
making a mystery around him.
He makes people think and I love that.

You never truely know who and how he really is.

Richard is what ever you want him to be.

That s what dreams all about.

Go and catch it !
