Drukqs

Drukqs (stylised as drukQs) is the fifth studio album by Aphex Twin, the alias of British electronic musician Richard D. James, released in 2001 on Warp. It is a double album alternating primarily between tracks of meticulously programmed drum and bass-inspired beats and computer-controlled classical piano pieces. It features the piano composition "Avril 14th," one of James's best-known recordings.

Drukqs was released to get around a potential leak of James's music after accidentally leaving an MP3 player behind on a plane while traveling to Scotland with Rephlex co-founder Grant Wilson-Claridge. It was intended to be his final release with Warp, per his contract with the label at the time.

Drukqs was released to a mixed reception from music critics, with many of them dismissing it as inferior to his earlier works. The album peaked at number 22 on the UK Albums Chart. James would not release another album under the alias Aphex Twin until Syro (2014).
