| | Aphex Twin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 2001 Aphex Twin released his most personal album yet, drukqs, a 2-CD album which featured prepared piano songs under the influence of Erik Satie and John Cage. | | | Aphex Twin tends to distance himself from rock/pop music, yet he has still had an influence on the rock bands like Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails and Peace Burial at Sea. | | | Aphex Twin has a reputation for lying in interviews, which he has admitted to the Guardian newspaper. |

| | The Madman of Electronica - How does Aphex Twin get away with his nutty musical stunts? By Alec Hanley Bemis |
| | Aphex Twin has continually re-imagined and reinvigorated the minor genre known as intelligent dance music, or I.D.M.—essentially a type of electronica fit for bedroom listening. | | | (One Aphex Twin album contains just a single lyric: "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.") His version of "Zeros and Ones" an obscure song by British one-hit wonders Jesus Jones, is filled with synth sounds that come in and out of focus, like Enya but not so cloying. | | | Limited to the software on their laptops, they're not expected to be any more adaptable than a classical violinist, an inveterate punk, or a hazy prog rocker. |

| | BBC - Experimental Review - Aphex Twin, Drukqs |
| | aphex twin is really pushing the boundries on his use of sounds, those who dont like this music are the ones that listen to the intro to a track, and if it isnt cheesy/poppy/whatever enough, will just flick to the next. | | | When i play Aphex Twin to mates i feel Embarrassed, mainly because this genre of music is not entirely common and mainstream, but people many people feel uncomfortable listening to music (especially Druqks)that does not have a rhythm or repetive series of beats. | | | Drukqs was actually the first Aphex Twin album I ever heard but in the years since its release I have become a big fan of Richard D. James and some others in the "IDM" genre (hate that name). |

| | Aphex is famous for totally remodeling songs he remixes. | | | Lots of stuff from Aphex is and was released on vinyl, here's some we have... | | | This is another bizarre example of Aphex Twin's sick musical genius, a totally weird caleidoscope of funny sounds and weird beats, accompanied by various totally distorted voice-samples of the big man himself. |

| | Aphex Twin's long-awaited album, the 30-track "Drukqs," was released in October of 2001 to the excitement of fans and critics alike. | | | But I suggest you buy the album yourself, especially if you're already a fan of Aphex Twin, due to its being priced as a single CD (not to be confused with CD single) at most music retailers. | | | The Flashbulb was brought to my attention (as well as the attentions of many Aphex Twin fans) when a song of his appeared at Joyrex.com as a possible track from Aphex Twin's "Drukqs." As it turns out, somebody found this track of his and sent it to Joyrex as a kind of a hoax. |

James Album, continued his forays into acid-jungle and experimental music. | | | A second album was released that year, Analogue Bubblebath 3, for Rephlex. | | | Later that year, the Hangable Auto Bulb EP replaced Analogue Bubblebath 3 as Aphex Twin's most brutal, uncompromising release -- a fusion of experimental music and jungle being explored at the same time on releases by Plug and Squarepusher. |

| | Aphex Twin, returns with a double CD that showcases his cleverness as well as his inevitable inscrutability. | | | Every aspect of the Aphex brain is on display here, from stark pieces performed on sampled piano and zither to Squarepusher-styled drum & bass implosions, all informed by that peculiar Aphex treatment of bittersweet melody and unparalleled programming. | | | In fact, most of the tracks reflect a contemporary feel in the percussion programming; if the concepts are old, they have been revised and edited for their 2001 appearance on Drukqs.Third (and last), James could very well be listening to his constituency for the first time in his life. |

| | Adrian's Album Reviews : Aphex Twin |
| | Aphex Twin is fascinating to me. The softer, lighter songs sound just as if they were taken from within my most personal, private dreams. | | | None of this was intended for release and bar two singles released in the wake of 'Richard D James' it fully appeared that Aphex Twin had all but retired from the music scene. | | | As usual for Aphex Twin the main melody is backed up by a second, in this case, a bass line that towards the end of each musical phrase vibrates. |

James takes in his stride the fact that he is now considered as important as these all-time electronic greats. | | | Richard James, aka Aphex Twin, is the most inventive and influential figure in contemporary electronic music. | | | Today, his music, released either on the celebrated Warp label or on his own Rephlex imprint, is used in films and on TV adverts - and the name Aphex Twin is a byword for maverick genius. |

| | The title track sounds like 5 or 6 different Aphex Twin songs trying to vie for the listener's attention, or like a radio trying to pick up 18 different stations at once, before descending into a vicious, distorted spiral. | | | Finally, in top secret facilities everywhere, scientists will still be trying to figure out how Aphex Twin managed to create music that was as beautiful as it was twisted, as delicate as it was complex. | | | That's the trend from works like "Come To Daddy" which is continued on "Windowlicker," the 3 song single from the upcoming album. |

| | Aphex Twin: Drukqs: Pitchfork Review |
| | This album charts familiar Aphex territory, surveying styles he's plied on previous records, rather than suggesting new directions. | | | It says something that Aphex enthusiasts expect James to reinvent himself with every record, and that the general reaction to this album (which has been trading hands over online piracy channels for months) has been somewhat unenthusiastic. | | | They sound like throwbacks to the past rather than prospects on the future; and for all of their compositional strength, there's an element of the Aphex Twin mystique missing. |
