{"product_id":"aphex-twin-drukqs-4lp","title":"Aphex Twin - Drukqs [4LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrukqs is Aphex Twin's sprawling 30-track double album from 2001, a collision of splintered breakbeats and hushed piano pieces, spread across four LPs for this pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard D. James released it on Warp in 2001, the story goes, partly to get ahead of a leak after leaving an MP3 player full of unreleased music on a plane. It would be the last Aphex Twin album until Syro in 2014, and the reaction at the time was divided. Time has been kind. Many of the titles are in Cornish, a nod to the place he grew up, and the whole thing plays like a sketchbook left open on purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quiet pieces came from computer-controlled pianos, including a modified Yamaha Disklavier, and they hit hardest. Avril 14th is a fragile two-minute miniature that became one of his best-known works, later sampled on Kanye West's Blame Game, and Jynweythek sets a hushed, prepared-piano tone. Vordhosbn unleashes the hyper-detailed drill 'n' bass he was famous for, all skittering, splintered snares.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread over eight sides, the swings between tenderness and chaos make even more sense, with each side its own strange little world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans who found James through Avril 14th or the QKThr craze, this is the full, gloriously unruly picture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57139137904945,"sku":"5056818810046","price":61.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Aphex_Twin-Drukqs_4LP.jpg?v=1793085592","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/aphex-twin-drukqs-4lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
