A masterpiece. Suggest replacing the CD cover art with the larger Vinyl box art. -- Insomniak 08:50, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I've been listening to this album for 4 years, and only after reading this article have I finally gotten the pun in the title! Surely it is indeed intended to be "druk-Qs"! Sadly most copies of the CD seem to come with a silly sticker on the front with the titles, because Warp seem to think that otherwise we wouldn't spot who the album was by!-- feline1 13:01, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
Question: does anyone know what the cover art is? like on http://www.drukqs.net/. Is it part of a musical instrument?
Isn't drukqs the heaviest (in terms of weight) vinyl album ever produced? I've only read this on random websites, so I don't know if it's a fact, but I think this information is worthy of the page. Skyler 21:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
That thing about the "Easter Eggs" where you play tracks of Drukqs at the same time to discover incredible new sound worlds is the biggest pile of shit I have ever read.
I tried to listen to a "combination" of tracks... interesting. But not amazing.
I've heard Analord has a unique sound when played at a different speed. Family Guy Guy 03:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Anyone know translations for all the tracks? It would make a dandy addition to the article.-- TimJing 02:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
I just played both CDs at the same time, and let them play through. It took about till the ending 20 seconds of the first track on disk 1 before I realized that once I did that, this became my favorite album of all time. No question. It was absolutely, incredibly awe-inspiringly amazing.
WHY???? This article should address this, but I don't know where to start. 72.185.224.148 23:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
The article states, "James took full advantage of the advances in computing between 1996 and 2001, which allowed greater detail and frenetic complexity in his music." This statement seems purely speculative. Did RDJ himself say this or is it some fanatic's conjecture? This is exactly the kind of pretentious writing that RDJ is right to mock. Same goes for the silly interpretations of the meaningless album title. Globe199 22:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
its less speculation than saying the track 'taking control' features a concussor drummachine heavily...... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.151.132.234 ( talk) 23:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know who originally stated the English meaning of the Cornish titles, or who actually did the translation? Are there any sources which attribute the translations instead of merely repeating them as fact? There are not very many Cornish speakers out there. Lfh ( talk) 20:15, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
This section should be added so the article can be rated a C or B like it deserves. Zidane tribal ( talk) 06:43, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Also on this note, there is a female singer in "Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount". I doubt Richard sampled it from anywhere but his own original recordings. A-bdub ( talk) 17:09, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
I remember reading the Rolling Stone review of this album, and there was a snide side comment like "oh, the title is just SO CLEVER! We all get it, Richard D. James." I spent hours trying to figure out what was so obvious about the album title, and eventually it hit me. No, not "drug use," and that is why I am so surprised to see this--but, rather, "The Ruckus." D-RU-KQS. Really? Just me? 96.227.34.199 ( talk) 00:42, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Since Allmusic have changed the syntax of their URLs, 1 link(s) used in the article do not work anymore and can't be migrated automatically. Please use the search option on http://www.allmusic.com to find the new location of the linked Allmusic article(s) and fix the link(s) accordingly, prefereably by using the {{ Allmusic}} template. If a new location cannot be found, the link(s) should be removed. This applies to the following external links:
-- CactusBot ( talk) 10:27, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
Because the proper capitization of the album is "DrukQs", somebody should move the article.
Conkern65 ( talk) 18:27, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
There is plenty of evidence at the album's official site that the title should not use a capitalized Q.
Ulmanor ( talk) 01:07, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Also, while I think there is a possibility that the "drug use" pun was intentional, the interview cited in the article shows that he won't admit it readily. Ulmanor ( talk) 01:47, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
A good chunk of the article reads like fan-forum conjecture connected by citation needed tags. The talk page reads like Richard D. James watches you while you sleep and whispers secrets about his recordings, which makes me even more skeptical. What the hell?
What is the 13th track Aussois supposed to sound like? -- 68.103.31.159 ( talk) 03:17, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
He's credited as the bassist for this album, which struck me as odd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.47.28 ( talk) 20:24, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
