The story of how Aphex Twin's music got released is the stuff of legend. Richard D. James reportedly signed a record deal with the label Mighty Force while tripping on acid at a rave, who would later put out his Analogue Bubblebath EP in 1991 which would be his first release. The EP was originally released under the name The Aphex Twin but would later be credited as AFX when reissued in 1994. He would later release his Analogue Bubblebath Vol. 2 EP under the label Rabbit City which included the song Digeridoo. The song would later get picked up by R&S Records as a single.

Now it's been said that James went to Belgium where R&S was located with a box of demo tapes he made, and from those tapes they assembled what would be his first album Selected Ambient Works 85-92. But by the time his first album was released, he had already put out several EPs on different labels over the past year. He put out 7 EPs and I'm using 4 of them. The ones I'm not using are two Joyrex EPs released as Caustic Window & the Pac-Man EP released as Power-Pill.

This is all the piano tracks from Drukqs combined with tracks from the Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Part 2 EP. In the same way that the EP was meant as a sequel to Drukqs, this can be the sequel to my version of the album. I didn't like the original cover so I made a better one. This is also one year after Aphex Twin returned to making music with his album Syro.

This is a single disc version of the double disc album Drukqs by Aphex Twin. I took out all the songs that had just a piano in them and kept the more IDM sounding tracks. This takes out some of his popular songs like Avril 14th and more recently Penty Harmonium. The idea of using a prepared piano would be further explored on Computer Controlled Acoustic Instruments Part 2.
