Reviews hmv.co.uk October 2001 True, at times Drukqs does sound like a piano being thrown down a flight of stairs. But what a piano and what a fine flight of stairs. Working as a collection of diametrically opposed musical types, the set casually leaps from teeth-grittingly breakneck drill and bass to musical box piano canticles and back again with disarming alacrity. It s been five long years since Richard James last album and there is definitely a momentum of interest in almost anything he does but Drukqs is clearly a labourof love and not just a glimpse into otherwise ring-fenced Aphex subterranea. The set is two CDs in length and although the contrast in personality between the tracks featured can be vast there is nothing here that hasn t been lovingly nurtured or even brutally beaten into shape.

APHEX TWIN Drukqs Warp
Probably the most respected composer in contemporary electronica, Aphex Twin has been responsible for some of the past five years' most chilling, beautiful and challenging music
His first release in two years, Drukqs is a double-CD album of startling musical diversity - from drum 'n' bass-based tracks to achingly beautiful piano tunes
Also available as a gloriously packaged 12" release, contaning four pieces of best quality vinyl
