The tracks are the same ones as the previous.. Load up a track from Field Day and compare it to the new ones.. Exactly the same track. 

This is 100% milking.. Nothing new here. 

Cern you are such a negative nancy. Not everything is for you. This is just so the vinyl exclusive music has a place on streaming platforms as well as giving us proper digis so we don't have to wrestle with different rips. Give it a rest m8

theyll be on the warpstore at the regular time, in around 6.5 hours if my memory serves me correctly. theyve planned this release in advance, so physicals may go up too. im thinking maybe a small run 2cd set but it depends

Okay so its been 8 hours. i think its safe to go to sleep now.

LOL, I must have missed the four London sketch/sketches tracks whenever they were added to the pile. Oh well, that means NEW AFX 4 ME. 

Weird. I bought the London 2019 and Manchester 2019 digitally from the afx store. They're still shown in my personal account, but they're not shown in the store as available releases. Houston is still there. As is the London 2017 field day album.

Waiting for the entire thing. Or at least both 2023 barcelona /london.

I thought I was going crazy ... I was thinking the majority of the tracks were already available on the store for a while but when I checked yesterday I saw they were nowhere to be seen. Presumably because of this release/compilation .... maybe ?

back to you bro I just don't want you to be upset my little forum antagonist 

edit: I read that as "typing" not hyping oops. I'm not hyped at all, I already have all this music, it's just not for me, I don't stream music

i hope so. seems likely, as it is up for sale in the itunes store. so it's not just streaming services. gonna be up in a couple of days. (was a bit scared it was spotify-only for a bit)

In case you didn't know, cern is actually an angsty teenager and Skee Mask in a trenchcoat 

No new release thread seems complete without Cern grumbling about it somewhere.

I'm just happy to have these tracks readily available and in good quality. Listening through again there's a couple that kind of passed me by that are actually really good. No idea how I've been missing Rozzbox and Nastya.

There's also a lot of tracks that are kind of half assed, especially on the Field Day release, but even at a 50% hit rate there's still an album's worth of bangers.

Most of these tracks suck

Erm...

Richard pls.  

Imagine spotify playlist of these...now THAT would be something. 

meh

they're still there, they're sort of hidden in the site, they never really appeared in the general releases section, you can stumble upon them viewing other releases, possibly partly because they were (mostly) there already as Orphans EP (except Soundlab) and similarly the Manchester one was the bonus tracks on Orphaned Dj Selek

great find!

didn't they change the titles though? i believe they used to have the date in the title. similar to the houston release and the field day release. probably means nothing though. hopefully the release will be up soonish. (in a day)

Nice find and actual prove that he is holding back a lot currently by adding “drum mixes” or different mastering versions to releases and at the same time using his bangers only as highlights on the high paying gigs. 
 

the current drop is nice but nowhere near what he actually has in his sleeves 

the saw rerelease is because saw II tracks were the most listened on Spotify for years now so I get it but he is holding back so much currently

I think those were created when they were added digitally, there may have been older temporary pages for ordering the vinyl with the card code, those temporary pages are removed for Barcelona and London '23 and I assume new ones will be added soon when they start selling those digitals on the site

He has been playing Nightmail in his live sets since around that time. The Spiral Staircase mix is from about 2004, and then Pretend Analog, Rozboxx and Midipipe were all featured as bonus tracks on Deejay Selek 2006-2008. Not sure about Atlantis. Everything else is post Syro I presume.

fwiw, i've had these for ages thanks to fan rips and bleepstore, but cool that these tracks get a decent comp release since it seems to reach people who haven't heard these before. There was some strange tweaking between bleepstore releases, like those 4 extra tracks which were added to orphaned deejay selek and were later removed and moved to manchester ep. orphans ep is more or less london ep albeit added with soundlab. Like lord Satans little helper said above, you can't see those two event exclusive eps in releases tab but can spot them via tracks tab. Also was mentioned before but fuji tape was also a merch desk release.

Fuji tape is not on it cause it scares away the hoes

How so? All Warps marketing for Richard is focused on Spotify nowadays

So they did none for this? New policy or trying a different one because the last couple didn't work 

Or maybe they did loads on Tiktok and I didn't see it

??? You have me confused
