A masterpeice. 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)[reply]

Question: does anyone know what the cover art is? like on http://www.drukqs.net/. Is it part of a musical instrument?

Isn't that the strikers in a player piano?

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)[reply]

So-called "Easter Eggs"

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.

Although I wouldn't use that choice in words, I have to agree. I attempted to to overlap the suggested songs in Audacity, but only got poor results. I am striking this "easter eggs" section from the article. --Insomniak 22:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, either your version of DrukQs had unusual time recording delays or you simply didn't like it. I took the liberty of recording and trying the Easter Eggs myself and found it worked, ive uploaded one of the combinations on here and if you had a listen you wouldn't call it a 'pile of shit'. I will therefore revert back the Easter Eggs section --Raddicks 17:47, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for providing an example of your claim (although your link may have to be edited out for copyright concern). It's certainly very fascinating, but there is no way to know if this is just a beatmatched edit, and I'm still speculative of your claim. I'm going to make a few changes to the "easter eggs" section to reflect the speculative nature of this claim, rather than to state it as fact. PS: the proper grammer is "secretly mastered", not "mastered secretly". --Insomniak 19:20, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Beatmapping i did with acid music studio 5 which is on automatic for me but i was unaware of a slight beat-delay when played manually without beatmapping. Knowing Richard he would likely pull stunts like this, ever heard of his spectrograph stunt with Windowlicker? [instructions can be found here]. That's some fun for you. PS: The proper spelling is "simultaneously", not "simultainiously". Hehehe sorry i couldn't help myself - best regards --Raddicks 19:58, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone post some evidence of this method? I haven't had any success and am very interested in getting this to work.

Seems like a coincidence. Make an external website and link to it from the article? Too much importance placed on a trivial coincidence.Joyrex 12:11, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

Anyone know translations for all the tracks? It would make a dandy addition to the article.--TimJing 02:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.

this information would be original research 83.118.88.137 22:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Parental Advisory???

WHY???? This article should address this, but I don't know where to start. 72.185.224.148 23:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It'd probably give kids brain embolisms.24.70.226.219 01:44, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cunt is thrown in their somewhere i do believe --AlexOv Shaolin 03:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Come on you cunt, lets have some Aphex acid" is shouted on a track.

It's shouted at 2:49 on Cock/Ver10 if anyone is curious. --70.119.155.196 16:14, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conjecture, etc.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

I also heard that instead of feet, he has another set of hands and he uses these to assist him with drum programming - 211.30.227.30 (talk) 10:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
