"Every Day" is also Tempo fucked. But I like the slower version better.

i'm kinda glad this one is faster. i could use a copy like that

hey what about dodeccaheedron?

autechre says they like that track so i guess i do too.

I got the slow one

Pretty interesting to see that there is a bit of spread between fast and slow.

I'm 100% sure that 45rpm is the 'right' answer for Every Day and Arched Maid. Here's why:

I bought Hab2 on vinyl when it first came out. I played it at 33 rpm and loved it.

I always thought the voice on Every Day sounded like an old lady, complaining about her life of toil with a demanding (and presumably now dead) husband.

When the HAB CD came out though, it had the 45rpm version on it.

And if you go back to the original vocal sample that is used for Every Day ( see attached) you discover that the voice is actually a young girl explaining why she doesn't want to be a millionaire (with a demanding husband)

Wooly.mp3Fetching info...

This sample matches how the voice on the song sounds at 45 rpm. That plus the fact that the CD was 45 rpm makes it definite.

(I still prefer the 33rpm version though because thats how I first heard it)

and don't forget the old Warp FAQ: "If it sounds good, you're playing it at the right speed"

Don't know what's right or what's wrong, but the slower one is the way we played it when the vinyl first came out and the way I remember DJ's dropping it in to sets.

This was posted in another thread but it seems pretty appropriate. It seems Richards speed is irrelevant. He kills at and tempo

I think he is actually playing slowed down vordhosbn version live
