Looking for .FLAC copies of Japan only tracks...

Could anyone help me in my quest to find these? Getting a physical copy of the Japanese CDs is almost out of the question; I've never, ever seen them for sale anywhere, though if I found one I would buy them for a reasonable price...

Incase anyone is interested I have a .FLAC copy of 'Medrey' from the Japanese version of Tri Repetae to trade.

yea, I need those. And the hidden track from ep7.

Zurich 2001 is an awful track and it doesn't even last 2 minutes. I wonder why Autechre have chosen that track!

I don't think they choose the Jap exclusive tracks.

i wouldnt mind getting these either, i'm sure i have something or another to trade if necessary

Mr. Warp does? So you think there's a marketing agent hidden somewhere who decides to add a short track for encouraging azns to buy the album?

Though I am not sure, I suspect that the extra tracks are put on there by Jap distributors since they don't have the same laws as we do. Tis why most of the best bootlegs are from Japan.

I don't care if it's awful, I want it for completionist purposes basically. I have a good feeling about the the extra track on Confield though (if it's anything like the tracks on Envane).

Sry to disappoint, but mcr quarter is nothing like the tracks on envane, rather it sounds a lot like AFX with heavy crowd noise. Some people seem to think it's awesome though.

I also seem to recall reading that cds are reedonkulously expensive in japan and that the bonus tracks are a way to throw a bone to the consumer

holy butt monkeys MCR Quarter is about better than any Acidy dancy thing that I have ever heard AFX do. Man, I'd kill for a soundboard of this entire show. Sometimes AE and Aphex and Squarepusher too for that matter really piss me off knowing that they have so much great material that I'll never get to listen to. Where as Luke Vibert and Snares have the opposite problem, they release a bit too much and aren't selective enough.

bonus tracks are added by the record label because japs pay twice as much for CDs and they come out later in Japan.

How many Autechre fans are from Japan? Half of them or what? Is this country part of these musicians' main profits?

I read an interview were AE talked a lot about Japan and how their gigs were always packed there. And that the fans there considered Confield, Draft, and Untilted to be pop releases.

Japan is superior

I wished that people who haven't listened any Autechre albums were considered rejected in Canada.

MCR Quarter is a live track from the Warp 10 festival in 1999. The entire set is available from the WATMM live archive (or at least it used to be), have a look for 1999-11-05 London. Crowd noise throughout but the recording and set are excellent. On par with the best ones - in my opinion Coachella 1999 and Glasgow Art School 2005 are the greatest of all.
