	APHEX TWIN - Drukqs
		Aphex Twin releases are often received with a strange mixture of both sceptisism and excitement, through the years we have been treated to albums that verge from unlistenable noise to a talent verging on genius.
		As we have come to learn, RDJ is not one to be trusted, either musically or verbally, however, on Drukqs he allows his unique sound to speak for itself.
		Drukqs has it all and will, in-time, become a classic.

		If Drukqs is the result of medication James has been imbibing during his three-year hiatus, then this is indeed better living through chemistry.
		The songs on Drukqs are very distinct from the songs people like when first listening to aphex twin.
		Drukqs is an advanced album in the aphex style and is the manifestation of Richard James' most honest internal voice out of all the albums made under all of his identities.

	Aphex Twin: Drukqs: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		After two years of public silence and what many had judged to be his final exit from the world of corporate music, the original IDM iconoclast has returned with another puzzle.
		The problem with Drukqs, a two-disc, 30-track medley that allegedly wraps up Richard D. James' contract with Warp Records, is that there's really no puzzle at all.
		Drukqs speaks a familiar tongue, instead of inviting us to learn new languages; it gives us the answers before asking the riddles.

	APHEX TWIN - DRUKQS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Some speculation flew around as to whether Drukqs is a compilation of random archive recordings from James' vault or whether it truly is new material.
		Drukqs switches from drill 'n' bass mayhem through a gently subdued piano piece and on to throbbing emotive ambience ("Omgyjya-Switch", "Strothatynhe" and "Gwely Mernans" respectively), even the numerous ambient sections and tracks are quite wonderfully portrayed.
		While the tracks on Drukqs differ in style quite dramatically, they all bear the trademark of a quality electronic music artist; they just have that confident accomplished sound about them.

		Then he released "Drukqs", to at least earn some money from his songs that would soon probably be out on the net anyway.
		And with "Drukqs" behind him, who knows what new wonders he might be free to create.
		The downside of "Drukqs" is that it must be devoured and savoured in frustratingly small pieces.

	BBC - Experimental Review - Aphex Twin, Drukqs
		Drukqs shows another progreesion in aphex twins sound, and those simply expecting more windowlicker were foolish.
		Drukqs was actually the first Aphex Twin album I ever heard but in the years since its release I have become a big fan of Richard D. James and some others in the "IDM" genre (hate that name).
		Drukqs certainly isn't without fault, and Aphex does, to an extent, sit on his laurels.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Drukqs [PA] - Aphex Twin at Epinions.com
		To understand the chaotic mind of Aphex Twin and "Drukqs," it's important to clarify what type of music this is and where it comes from.
		"Drukqs," a two-disc movement released in December of last year, is a little bit of everything.
		Yes, Aphex Twin is known for his proficiency at creating beautiful ambient soundscapes and layering them over frenzied beats, but "Drukqs" is as much an experiment with new music as it is a re-combination of the Aphex formula.

	Drukqs - Compare prices
		Drukqs is the 2001 release from Cornish Techno wizard Richard D James aka the Aphex Twin.
		Deified in the sphere of experimental dance--partly for his indisputable sporadic genius, but partly, it must be said, for his bullish refusal to play the whole "releasing records" game, and the subsequent mythology that such contrariness invariably prompts--every new release is greeted like it's the future of music on plastic.
		But once that's out the way, and you're free to immerse yourself in the tangled depths of Drukqs, it's simply a relief to know that Aphex is still making music: fiendishly complex, lovably dumb, and still aeons ahead of the legion of imitators.

	Aphex Twin: Drukqs (2001): Reviews
		In-between the chaos and peace, 'Drukqs' induces a whole host of emotions using acid squiggles, plucked piano strings and 80s electro-breaks.
		Drukqs is the most sincere album [James] has released since 1995's I Care Because You Do.
		Not enough of Drukqs confidently breaks new ground, and too often James falls back on the all too familiar dysfunctional jitterbeat which has typified Aphex output since 1996's Richard D James album.

	APHEX TWIN Drukqs
		If Drukqs is a similar bric-a-brac of sounds, it also sounds as if two albums were running in parallel, with tracks from each one playing alternatively, sending the listener on a roller coaster of impressions and expressions.
		Drukqs constantly alternates between tensed constructions and abyssal moments of atmospheric calm, without warning or obvious link in between.
		One would be forgiven to think that it is a case of Warp getting increasingly impatient about new Aphex Twin material, and James throwing in a handful of tracks lifted from his legendary enormous catalogue.

		Spreading 30 tracks (most with unpronounceable titles) across two discs, Drukqs sounds less like a major new statement from electronica's best producer than the results of a Sunday afternoon's trawl through his hard drive for files he hasn't released before.
		Drukqs may not be Richard D. James' best album, but it is certainly his most diverse.
		Drukqs exhibits a kind of artistry comparable to all the great masters that display a coherant understanding of the transcendent; and the personality of this genius displays a human originality of which will impact the art world as a strong reference for years to come.

	Opus // Music // Aphex Twin - Drukqs
		The haunting piano pieces are a nice touch, a refuge from the drill n' bass assault that makes up the rest of the album; "Avril 14th" is especially lovely, a sort of lovely childhood memory to make up for that whole "Come To Daddy" nightmare.
		If "Drukqs" was nothing more than a contractual obligation, than I'd say he's more than fulfilled it.
		With "Drukqs", you've got over 100 minutes to sit through, and a pretty little piano piece here and there can't hide that.

	Aphex Twin - Drukqs - Stylus Magazine
		Drukqs hits its own potholes, succumbing to many of the failings of double albums before it by the time the hundredth minute is over.
		James is known for a warped sense of humor, and the only sense I can make of Drukqs is that it might be a big joke: one on his fans and followers.
		Instead of pushing the limits of electronic music again, James has decided to play some pranks (the title of the album itself appears to be a pun of sorts: "Druk qs" is a phonetic approximation of "drug use").

		The answer to all of these is probably yes, and drukqs is all the better for it.
		Drukqs is so incredibly stereophonic it makes everything before it sound mono by comparison.

		He must have composed quite a large amount of music in that time because this release is a double CD with 30 songs on it, clocking in at over 100+ minutes of music.
		I found the entire release to be quite an enjoyable listen, and easily spun it in one sitting.
		Drukqs is chock full of several varieties of music.

		However, for those have heard the awesome Selected Ambient Sounds II or perhaps I Care Because You Do, drukqs could well come across sounding like the rekindling of old ideas, where the genius might simply have run out of ideas and be running short on creative juices.
		It has been suggested by some that drukqs is James’ fuck-off record to his (soon to be former) label Warp Records.
		He never does what is expected of him, and that’s certainly true of drukqs — his fans wanted another big leap forward, and he hasn’t provided that.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Aphex Twin: Drukqs
		That's kind of what it's like listening to Drukqs: you get the sense that you've been pulled from your everday existence and thrust into a world of altered perceptions and tumultuous activity, straddling the median between sensory overload and sensory deprivation.
		For all its fannying-about with self-indulgent little treated piano melodies, Drukqs makes it clear that the Aphex Twin is back, and in better form than ever.
		However, with two discs of fifteen songs each -- more than ninety minutes of music -- to choose from, you can be safely assured that just about anywhere your CD player's laser comes to rest, you'll find a sound that'll grab your electronic music paradigm and shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

		The new Aphex Twin release, Drukqs is an amorphous mulch peppered with a handful of tasty, exciting tracks.
		I guess enough people ignored his threats: he decided to do Drukqs, an album whose title might as well have been inspired by the same demented numerologist who demanded Dionne Warwick add an "E" to the end of her name.

		Richard James has been making a nuisance of himself for rather a long time now, and his sense of musical mischief has certainly not abated since his last album, five years ago.
		'Drukqs' is a mesmerising mix of understated ambience and construction site cacophony, a variety of musical textures that holds the attention perfectly across this double disc set.
		The inclusion of a voicemail birthday greeting from his parents is exactly the sort of thing most artists wouldn't commit to digital format, but it's also exactly the sort of thing we expect from the Twin.

		Yes amid the usual fanfare, dubious hype (lie of the album: he's bought a power plant in the middle of a roundabout) and propaganda, Aphex Twin has unleashed 'Drukqs'.
		'Drukqs' is a thirty track, 2CD album - the first long player from the Cornishman since 'Richard D James'.
		So while fans proclaim AFX "genius", 'Drukqs' is way too much an Aphex album to fulfil such a title.

		One of the more troubling aspects of the online hardcore-music-dork reviews of Drukqs was a sense that Aphex had let us down by failing to reinvent electronic music for us again.
		On the other hand, there is some startlingly fine music here that, if we can ignore history and expectation for a moment, will impress the shit out of anyone giving an honest listen.
		Very little seems fleshed out but for the typically insane, micro-produced jungle freak-outs which, by comparison often seem overly long and unfocused in their intent.

	Drukqs by Aphex Twin CD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		His past musical output has varied from the gentle but weird, to the baffling, to the ghastly, and with DRUKQS he manages to combine all the aforementioned in a compelling yet unsettling mix that is never less than fascinating.
		The tracks are listed on the booklet, but not necessarily in the same order they appear on the album, and moreover James seems to have developed his own language somewhere along the way, so we're left to our own devices to figure things out Drukqs.
		What I liked about DRUKQS is its diversity of moods and styles.
