SHUTUP AND LISTEN TO IT. I used to be one of you...and then I put it in my bag along with my discman and nothing else. I'll admit it doesn't have the melodious beauty to it of old works...but its fucking INSANE. A good kind of insane. I have realized the reason I love druqks is because it fills me with the kind of insanity that people shut out of their daily lives. Some kind of forbidden realm that exists but people surpress and don't want you to believe it does. Like I listen to it on the subway with everyone going to work and it makes me want to scream and fly out the window and run across rooftops. And this has a certain kind of beauty to it in itself. I don't know if any of that makes sense to you, its not really easy to put into words, but just give it a chance, it will grow into you. |

yeah, hopefully noone is judging this album after the first listen... give it a go... find something, anything, that you like, and keep listening to it... then move on to other stuff, and eventually you'll get into the whole album... maybe you still mighten like it all that much, but you'll have digested the whole album... |

An album that takes another look at is a great one, I've noticed that throughout my time of purchasing music. Drukqs has some beautiful melody to it though...the piano pieces and the soft, synth-string...but I do love the insane 54 Cymru Beats or Cock Ver10 as well. |

Yeah, I find that albums that take longest to get into initially I enjoy much much better... I remember I spent like years analyzing Ok Computer, and listening to it closely and all that before I really appreciated it... and now it's one of my favorite albums... |

he uses a lot of those synth sounds.... the ones that have a long decay and liek the cutoff is right up and theres no env or res.... and he makes dark riffs with them and uses a lot of acid aswell. |

Some day, Drukqs will be appreciated. It isn't being properly treated right now. |

ive listened to it... and well it is far from bad, and is interesting, but it doesnt blow me away like when i first got all the other records... and the second disc really fails to hold my attention after the first four tracks, hard as i try. some of the beat tracks just dont have me bouncing off the walls, just the urge to advance to the next track. i find his percussion experiments to be of varing interest, one imagines that he probably has hundreds just like them recorded. |

I have to agree with Bumble. I've been listening to it for some time now, and try as I might, there are only 'moments' in DrukQs that I get that feeling of wonder that I do when I listen to ICBYD or SAW2. It's almost as if he is trying too hard to innovate...I dunno, it's hard to say. I just don't find the same hooks in this album like I've found in the others. If it's true that this is indeed his last WARP release maybe it was done (the album) just to get out of his contract with WARP and move on to better things. It just doesn't have all the needed parts to make a good whole. Songs like Gwerly Mermans and Vhorsbodn (SP?) have that 'magic', but it's probably because they were created back when the magic was flowing freely. Hopefully the new stuff on Rephlex next year will capture that old magic again we'll be grinning whilst we listen to Richard's next outing. Very ironic how so many were disappointed with DrukQs after fiending over any new RDJ for so long and once they had it, their hunger wasn't satisfied and they were left feeling hollow and empty and unfulfilled. |

xanatos, you just described BRAINDANCE. It's the most complete form of music to me. RDJ, Cylob & Squarepusher know something about how our minds accept sound that i never got from any other music. |

sounds a bit like rich is chasing his tail-in terms of innovation, the programmed piano stuff is great. doesnt have much oif an edge to it though. directionless in parts. great in others. |

al><: interesting. I think u-Ziq does it also I didn't think it had that beauty at first. But now I think it does, you guys are right though, its a different kind though. |

i love the fact that everytime I hear it a new track grabs hold of my senses with grapple hooks and just won't let go.it might have slipped by on the previous listens but once it grabs you..man you have play it again and again... this morning it's ziggomatic 17... anyone else experience this? |
