Warp Records founder Steve Beckett seems just as excited by the prospect of a new Aphex Twin album as the rest of us. And he also seems as clued in to the album's progress as the rest of us.

["We're definitely going to be putting out a new album by him," he told BBC 6 Music. "Hopefully it will be this year, if I can prise it out of his hands. It's definitely on its way."

Beckett added, "I don't know a single note or anything about it. It will be as much of a surprise to me as anyone else. Basically I find out what it sounds like when we go into the mastering room and he puts it - well how it used to be, he'll put the DAT player in and there it'll be - so that's the first time I'll hear it. Then I'll go onto my knees and thank him and then we'll put it out."

So, yeah. Don't hold your breath or anything.
