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.

Lovely album, but what a pain in the ass to store. Fits on no record shelf.

Druqks couldn't be more intriguing, than the coupled piano numbers that speckle this semi-compilation. Some tracks leave me scratching my head, but many of them were "taking up space" on one of Richard's hard drives. The nature of them should be considered. And, personally, I would source the tracks from his website in a higher bitrate than what's available through streaming. The discs themselves and package are important, though, to collectors (like myself). If you're a fan of AFX, this record is for you. Let the music play...

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.
