Title: Aphex returns
Product review: Though there is nothing groundbreaking on this album, I still really love it. There are three 'themes' which emerge over the course of the three discs, quiet piano interludes, frentic aphex acid style tracks, and more experimental stuff. There's something for all Aphex Twin fans here. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because RDJ doesn't seem to be as interested in pushing the envelope anymore like bands like Autechre, but when you consider the fact that he laid the groundwork for all those bands... The man is a genius. The only other thing I didn't like about Drukqs is that I guess I've been spoiled by two hour plus double disc sets, and this clocks in somewhere around an hour and a half, and I know from interviews that Aphex has more unreleased material (initially he wanted to release a 4 CD set!) that I feel could have rounded out the set. Still, the technical wizardry is evident in full force, and again, the man's a genius.
