Some of his tracks are really good, but I can't take aesthetic of his music videos, except Daddy

Alarm Will Sound produced an album of full orchestral arrangements of Aphex Twin's songs called Acoustica: Alarm Will Sound Performs Aphex Twin. For anyone who's never heard it, it's absolutely amazing.

This might be one of the most peaceful/beautiful songs I've ever.

having relistened to Druqks, i still think his minimalist ambient stuff's the best

His ambient works are great sleepy time music. I don't listen to him a TON, but there's always a soft place in my heart for 'Come to Daddy' and some of the stuff off Richard D. James album. Also some of his way older stuff, like Mike & Rich, are always great listens.

I know it's all subjective and whatnot, but I have to say the DrukQs (fun fact: pronounced Drug Use) really opens itself up after multiple listens. It lacks a bit of cohesiveness give its nature and is initially incredibly intimidating if you're not used to acid/similar, but honestly there's a lot of genius hidden away in it.

If you're ever after a way to get in it, you could always try the Analord Series. 4, 8 and 10 are personal favourites.
