Bibio - The Apple & The Tooth

UK too, I got number 89. Incidentally, for those people with warped copies, did you also order the CD? I did, and they were both in the same 12" packaging. Just wondering if the warping could have anything to do with the CD being in with it? More likely not.

nah, i didn't order the CD. mine was just the record. must be something to do with the way they're storing them or something. i was told i'm gonna have to wait a few days for them to sort me out, i'm gonna email them again though since bleep now shows them as out of stock

Yeah, if they are really that limited I wonder how they'll replace the warped ones. It's a right bastard, hope you get sorted out.

i got #333

pretty cool

what did you do with the sticker?

i peeled it off the wrapping and put it on the record in the same place

well i got a reply just re-iterating that they were waiting on more stock, so it very well could be a case of them repressing it :(

on a side note, an acquaintance who bought the Warp20 Box Set told me that their Unheard sides A/B sleeve had a bend on the corner....obviously not done during transit. he didn't get back onto Warp about it, but i told him "considering you just spent £91 on it, i would've been straight onto them"

#181 here, mine's OK. Yet to play it, though.

Where is the number located? I ordered the LP too, and I can't see it?

it should have been on a sticker placed on the shrink wrap

Really? In my eagerness, I just ripped that shit off and got listening. Guess I'll never know.

i got #18. i took the sticker off the shrink wrap and put it on the dust sleeve.

love the letherette remix.

pitchfork's got lots of bibio shit up now.

interview

Apple and the Tooth review

the interview's kind of funny

Real nice remixes here. Plush sounding stuff. Lots of nice tracks.

Liking this collection- the Gentlemen Losers remix is just beautiful. I'm a big fan of their release from earlier this year (Dustland) as well.

still no word or anything from Bleep regarding my replacement record, time for an email methinks.

Others squander the rich source material, usually by interpreting "remix" as "molest." Clark epitomizes this approach, dousing fragments of "S'vive" in his magic powder and reorganizing them into a scattering, tempo-warped pulse. He produces some fascinating effects, but it seems more like an expo for his skills than a tribute to Bibio.

Dang, now pitchfork are laying down the rules on remixing. You have to "pay tribute" to the original artist rather than give your own interpretation.

Another shitly worded review from a hipster.

Jesus christ, pitchfork are just like paragraph after paragraph of total bullshit. It's as if they've ran out things to say. Although Clark's remix isn't the best on the album Pitchfork have to start finding a way of wording their critisisms better because that shit i quoted right there is some wack ass bullshit.

i agree with some aspects of the review, but your right clitterhaus. some of it is rather whiney. then again, it's a review by a 'critic' and overall, some of the remixes are kinda shit.
