It’s role-reversal on the UK Record Store Chart this week; Aphex Twin‘s latest LP ‘Syro‘ has beaten Alt-J‘s ‘This Is All Yours‘ to the top spot – in contrast to the UK’s main chart rundown which has Alt-J at the summit thanks to their second studio album and Aphex Twin back at #8.

The Top 5 positions are all taken up by new entries, with Leonard Cohen‘s ‘Popular Problems‘, Goat‘s ‘Commune‘ and ‘Different Shades Of Blue‘ from Joe Bonamassa also landing this week.

Arctic Monkeys‘ ‘AM‘ is still in the Top 10 well over a year on from its release meanwhile, and Royal Blood‘s self-titled debut is at #7.
