I sure hope somebody else has also tried playing the 45 rpm sides at 33... One more reason to buy vinyl.

Har har! Did this to two sides without noticing (RDJ sneakily has different rpms for different sides)... Superb! Not sure which I prefer.. This turned 6 sides of vinyl into 12.

Don't know many artists whose stuff is genuinely interesting at multiple speeds...

The limited edition was printed on "virgin" vinyl !!!
costs 99 Pounds . i had to laugh when i read this . olio extra virginale i heard about , but vinyl ? okay , that means they use vinyl,that hasn't been recycled , but hey outside Jamaica and Trax plus some acid or hardcore labels, i thought most pressings are done on unrecycled plastic. Anyway a great piece of work ,i enjoy at least 8 trax from it and that's a lot more than on most aphex twin records .

Just to clarify, both LP sets were 4x180g LPs - the standard is on recycled/standard vinyl, whilst the ltd set is on virgin vinyl. The 1000 copy ltd set was pressed in California by a company called RTI who specialise in ultra-high quality audiophile pressings for all sorts of top audiophile re-issue labels - and it shows, I've got both copies and the ltd set sounds absolutely superb by comparison. Hats off to Richard D. James since this high quality ltd set was pressed at his request.

This is Richard D. James masterpiece. His analord series ( which I highly recommend ) is merely a gimmick compared to this seminal piece of music. From sounds of beauty to sounds of sadness and fear this album is surely ( as it is rumoured ) James' last will and testament. I hope for more in the future, ( I just wish I had a valve amplifier to listen to Analord, maybe then it would be different )

'Drukqs' straddles infuriating frustration and pure entertainment with ease. The camp is always going to be split along the genius/gargabe lines (although personally I do love a bit of Mt Saint Michel Mix+St Michaels Mount on 33...), but what is quite obvious is RDJ's reluctance to get commercially involved, especially after the media frenzy over Come To Daddy and Windowlicker.

Rumour has it that RDJ has no interest whatsoever in fulfilling his contract with Warp, and only release Drukqs because he left an ipod (titled '1000 unrealsed aphex twin tracks') on an aeroplane, and panicked, thinking it was going to get out on the internet.

How far can too far go ?
The people of Warp Records were probably thinking of this advertising slogan from "From Dusk Till Dawn" when they released this. And this avenue led to the goal. But in my opinion, this whole thing is an absurdity from start to finish: The size of the box comparing to the content. The amount of records. Yes, AND the music.
I know, there are people here, who think this is RDJ`s masterpiece, but I can`t follow them. Except three or four tracks , this-for me-is just a compilation of left-overs wrapped in a huge package to make it extraordinary and to place it as an collectors item.
