Rae at 45 RPM

Try it. It's awesome.

Personally I think owning Autechre on vinyl is a rather silly thing. Why add random crackling to the precision crackling they already put in it?

doesn't the tri repetae cd say "incomplete without surface noise"?

edit: a-huh!

The CD version's liner notes state that the album is "Incomplete without surface noise," whereas the vinyl version states that it is "Complete with surface noise."

Around the time of the Quari release they said they like listening to music on tapes - you get all the wows and flutters you'll never get with digital formats. Same applies to vinyl, but obviously to a lesser extent.

The ability to change the speed is a great advantage though, no joke. The Tuss album at 33RPM instead of 45 is killer

+1 (It's a lot better at 33!)

Just download VLC media player and you can change the playback speed

I use Audacity

It has the same effect but playing the vinyl itself actually has a different sound to that of digital recordings slowed down. There's a load of technical stuff behind it which I can't remember but it definitely isn't exactly the same. It's still cool to do though.

i can totally agree with regard to the difference between digitally pitching down and mechanically pitching down (on a turntable).

it's a different sound
