HMV.UK review of DruKQs

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
