Premiere of Drukqs from NME.com
 

Lord Have Mercy from the Womb on 2001-08-03 14:46 [#00019531]



From NME.com.....

APHEX TWIN premiered his first studio album in five years at
the LONDON PLANETARIUM last night (August 2).

'Drukqs' is Aphex Twin's first album since November 1996's
'Richard D James' LP. Until yesterday, only a handful of
representatives at his label Warp and a select number of
journalists had been given the chance to hear the record.

However, last night, approximately 100 invited guests and
competition winners visited the famous London tourist
attraction to hear the album.

The album was accompanied by a visual show, with each
individual track from the record illustrated by a star
constellation projected on the Planetarium roof.

Depending on the tempo of each individual track - the album
varies from unrelenting electronica to ambient piano - the
star constellations varied in their style.

One fan who attended the listening party told NME.COM: "I
felt like I was floating out of my body throughout. The
album is pretty dark in places, but the other side of that
is the whole ambient piano which I guess is classic Aphex
Twin. The Planetarium was the perfect venue to hear the
record for the first time!"

'Drukqs' is set for release in mid-October.

That sounds great! (and reminiscent of Chris Morris's Blue
Jam playbacks) Wish I'd been there!
