Notes
Song title meanings:
Jynweythek Ylow "Mechanical Music".
Omgyjya-Switch7 "The first word is a swear word alluding to pleasuring oneself".
Strotha Tynhe "To squeeze, to tighten".
Gwely Mernans "Deathbed".
Gwarek2 "Arch".
Hy A Scullyas Lyf A Dhagrow "She shed a flood of tears".
Kesson Dalef "Harmonious voice"? (NB “lef” means voice but “dalef” doesn’t mean anything).
Ruglen Holon (This is probably meant to be something along the lines of “Rattle of the heart”, but it’s not correct Cornish so it’s unclear).
Track translations from magakernow.org.uk the 'Cornish Language Partnership'.
The title on the cover is stylized as "drukQs", pronounced to rhyme with "drug use" (druck queues). The titles on the spine and the discs are written in all lowercase instead of capitalizing the Q.
One of the tracks has 2 different names depending on if you have the CD or the vinyl version. It's Penty Harmonium on the vinyl and QKThr on the CD.

- Bough this one on sale at the time of the relies… probably around 20 bucks… best buy of all times ^^ realy a great Aphex of twin record !
- Released in 2001, Drukqs is a complex and ambitious double album! It showcases Richard D. James’ mastery over electronic and acoustic elements. The collection includes 30 tracks that range from chaotic, hyper-detailed beats (“Vordhosbn,” “54 Cymru Beats”) to minimalist piano compositions like “Avril 14th,” which has become one of his most recognized works. It’s a challenging yet rewarding listen, balancing intensity with introspective beauty.

Do you think this will get a repress? I found a G copy at my local reactors store selling for 500 euros.referencing Drukqs (2×CD, Album, Stereo) WARPCD92
at this point i think he is just fucking with us lol. this needs a repress.... i dont think i know a single person that wouldn't buy one immediately.referencing Drukqs (2×Cassette, Album, Promo) WPCR-11093-4
YO NEED THIS ONE yo... I will get it when I go to Japan!- For anybody wondering whether this version or the audiophile version sounds better:
First and foremost, I do not have the audiophile version, nor have I ever listened to it.
HOWEVER – after listening to this version a number of times at both high and low volumes, with and without headphones, I can definitively say that this version is one of the best-sounding records in my collection. The records are flat, noiseless, and nearly entirely silent. The master sounds alive and perfectly loud. If you know DrukQs from its digital versions (CD etc), you will almost certainly be satisfied with the sound present on these records.
Given the quality of this version, I cannot imagine the audiophile discs sounding any better. (Though some day I'd love to hear them side by side!) - Can’t believe back in 2002 you could’ve scooped one of these up for only £40. jeez we need a repress

This 2001 CD sounds wonderful, incredibly dynamic. Wide, expansive soundstage and instrument separation throughout. Utterly immersive.
