This album is awesome, the best electronic album ever made, in my 100% correct opinion.
So discuss. Because it's never been discussed before on this messageboard.
Hindsight is 20/20... how do you feel about Drukqs a year later?

heres my deal about Drukqs.
When it first came out, I LOVED it. listened to it none stop, thought it was the most amazing electronic album, loved just holding the case in my hand, and on and on... but i have taken a few months break from it, been listening to other stuff like oval, fennesz, monolake, phoenecia, prefuse 73.... and after returning, i still like it, but i don't love it like i used to, same goes with squarepusher, just can't get into it anymore.

I listened to it non-stop for two months after it came out... and I've been on a prolonged break, MANY MONTHS, but I came crawling back this morning, and FUCK, this album makes me hard. I love every piano track now, but I used to find some of them boring.

Really is what?
I've gone off it and on it repeatedly, so now sign of it stopping.

Quiet, you! I've just never seen anybody mention Drukqs on this board before...

So I thought I'd be the first.

I feel alot better about Drukqs actually. It's perfect for my current state of mind. The change in tempos keeps me going.
Now that said, I look back at Drukqs as being heavily influenced by Venetian Snares infused with RDJ magic.

well, i picked mine up in a CD shop that lets you open the CDs and listen to them,and it had already been opened. me, being to excited to care, grabbed it and ran over to the instore CD players. i didnt notice that disc 2 was where disc 1 was supposed to be, and vice versa. hearing the sweet sounds of 54 cymru beats coming through the headphones. afx was back, with STYLE!

only cd or anything i have _EVER_ been able to listen to for more than a year STRAIGHT.
I'm talking practically every day (at least one song, if not one whole cd.) especially vordhosbn
That cd has so much to offer.
like in my other thread, how richard hates releasing musci all the time, well he creates music that can be listened to for a long period of time, and never becoming boring.
most brilliant cd ... ever...

i loved it as soon as i bought it, i remember waiting in great anticipation for its release...i used to draw the afx logo on whatever desk i sat in at school, with the release date underneath...i went to the store the day it was released only to find out it came out a day earlier in the uk, the day after in the us...so i left dissappointed, but returned the second day, and was late to class...
it actually influenced me to write the wierdest but in my opinion the best album ive recorded...and of course it was a double album so i was exhausted after writing it....whew!

It's like a fine wine or cheese, it has to age to perfection. Right about now the album sounds so much better than when i bought it last year.

i agree completely.
it gets better every time i listen to it.
and doesn't...stop...growing. just fuckinginsane.
at first it was hard, i couldn't even remember which song was which (ie. thinktoy mix) - i would hear it and be like "shit, what song is this"

I think it's the layers in Drukqs that make it so interesting...it's very intricately done. Guess that's why you can listen to it for so long, because you pick up a new piece of Drukqs' intricate puzzle each time you hear it :)

I just love this album. It's a work of art. People have mentioned that the album has grown on them. Maybe that's one of the reasons it took so long to release? The tracks had to grow on the man himself. Maybe there's other stuff he did that he's not happy with but it's growing on him as he listens to it. Roll on the remix album though!
