Richard D James uses deep web browser Tor to announce SYRO, his first album since Drukqs in 2001
Richard D James has always been the kind of artist who likes to do things his own way. And so its perhaps no surprise that his chosen method of announcing the new Aphex Twin album the first since Drukqs in 2001 was somewhat unconventional.
At 4pm today (18 August), James tweeted a link that was accessible only through Tor, a browser designed for accessing the deep web (the often shady reaches of the internet not indexed by standard search engines). The link took those using Tor to a page that contained an Aphex Twin image along with information regarding the forthcoming albums title and tracklist. Although the link can be accessed via a normal browser here, details of the tracks and album title are not available on it.
