The first time I listened to Aphex Twin on magic mushrooms was, well, magic. I still get goosebumps listening to his music due to that experience. Aphex Twin has been a large influence for tons of well-known artists today. There is just something special in how his songs convey different moods and feelings, with one of my favorites being Avril 14th, which reminds me of playing Minecraft as a young lad, although I think 180db_ [130] is my all-time favorite.

Funny how Avril 14th is one of his most popular and recognizable songs while... not being anything like most of his works. It's a straight and fairly straightforward piano song.

This cover sounds almost more like the rest of Drukqs with a prepared piano https://twitter.com/kellymoran/status/1250132140290977800

I agree, I think it is at least in part because the song has been used in movies and such, but there's no doubt that song is an 'easier' listen than some of his more experimental work.
