I was today years old when I learned about this. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful.

Oh man. One of today’s lucky 10,000!!

When I discovered this album it was a revelation and raised the bar for what electronic could be.

Story is that Aphex nearly lost all the music on an iPod, and so quickly released to prevent that from happening.

This record was released in 2001. A few years pre-iPod.

Story is on the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drukqs

It was a non-iPod mp3 player. Same difference I’d say.
