Aphex Twin’s Drukqs Gets First-Ever Vinyl Reissue

Pitchfork · 3 hours ago

Aphex Twin's 2001 double album Drukqs is being reissued on vinyl for the first time, alongside CD and cassette formats, after years out of print. Warp Records announced the release, which will complete the artist's full catalogue being back in print. The move gives long-time fans and newer listeners physical access to a record that has grown in critical and cultural stature since its initial mixed reception.

The 30-track LP arrives on all formats on 30 October, with no bonus material included, though a direct-to-consumer 4xLP edition will come with a six-panel poster and an AFX logo stencil. Drukqs marked the end of a five-year gap in full-length releases from Richard D. James following 1996's Richard D. James Album, and though originally dismissed by some as a hard-drive clearout, tracks such as "QKThr" have since found new audiences via TikTok. James' only subsequent Aphex Twin studio album remains 2014's Syro.
