^^^ In eac there is (or was) an action to "copy tracks index-based" or something like it - I'm at my work computer so I can't see if and where it is.

thanks, that was a good enough hint to google with. cheers

working from this for any others who may be interested.

hmm, when I do it, it comes out as silent

The only ep that's split in 2 cd's is ep7, and it was released as two separate 12"s (ep7.1 and ep7.2 i think) so theres nothing wrong with it

Never heard AE on vinyl nor do i plan to. To me it fucked up the experience that i know.

didn't hear you complaining that Cavity Job and Accelera 1&2 have been edited

 

Those aren't the originals?! dang!!

ahhh i didn't see that you hadn't heard those before...yeah there's samples at the beginning of the tracks. dunno what the sample is from at the beginning of Cavity Job, but the sample at the beginning of Accelera 1&2 is from a live Jean Michel Jarre LP (the most amazing site ever viewed by the human eye!)

wonder why they replaced Basscadet seefeelmx with Basscadoublemx from the vinyl but also left out 12/4cadetmx

They left out both vinyl-only Basscamixes. It's just the CD version, but without the Seefeelmx.

apparently not, they switched Seefeelmx for Basscadoublemx, according to Warp and Discogs

Notice a complete lack of Basscadoublemx in the text you pasted? Basscadubmx is there, which is the final track on the CD (also the one CD-only Basscamix). It's four tracks, i.e. the five CD tracks minus Seefeelmx.

You might be confusing Basscadubmx with Basscadoublemx, but they are in fact two separate tracks. The former is CD only and the latter is vinyl only.

Sorry, I just can't stand idiots being wrong.

well the info could be wrong but its right up there just before Tazmx or am I nuts? On warp and discogs too, i triple checked, what am i missing here? Sorry to harp on this tiny detail, but I'm not the first one who noticed, that's why I brought it up to see if someone had an idea why, it's not idiotic if i'm trying my best here :)

I think there's a complete lack of you seeing the word 'Basscadoublemx' above where i clearly see it right now in the previous posts, you even bolded it

if I am in fact correct, that makes this the only digital version of Basscadoublemx, or does everyone already know this and Rhombix is messing with me

It will be interesting to read a retraction in the light of "Sorry, I just can't stand idiots being wrong."

Nice!

In other news, I have written to Bleep:

  Quote

Dear Sir / Madam,

 

As a long time Autechre fan I was interested to see the announcement of their EPs boxed set back in February, and like all other limited Autechre releases I went straight to Bleep and bought a copy, despite owning all the EPs inside from their original releases (apart from Cavity Job). I downloaded the tracks which were kindly thrown in as a bonus, listed as "$0.00" (see receipt below). I was then surprised to find out that the set was available from other retailers, and then really irritated to find out that it was substantially cheaper at every other retailer. Checking around online I discovered that Bleep were refusing to refund full amounts on pre-orders for people who had downloaded tracks, since the $0.00 listed charge had suddenly acquired a value of 18 GBP, despite the fact that it was given as an add-on to the order of physical media, and there was no option to purchase the box without it. Had there been an option I would certainly have taken it, since I owned the original EPs and only used the downloads out of convenience.

 

To charge "$0.00" for an item and suddenly claim it is worth 18 GBP is clear deception, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be illegal. I am far from the only person in the Autechre fan community to feel substantially ripped off by Warp / Bleep's handling of this box set, from its bare-bones quality (not a single bonus or addition beyond the content of the original EPs, bare minimum artwork, etc.) to the frankly misrepresentative way we were induced to buy downloads that many of us did not want.

 

You could argue that I should have waited and purchased elsewhere, and I certainly will next time thanks, but up until this incident my experiences with Warp / Bleep had been entirely positive and worthwhile. I bought limited editions of the last two Autechre albums as well as a range of other releases because I believe in buying music so that artists can make a living. In this case I feel stupid and let down because my efforts to support the artist were cynically manipulated by Warp and Bleep. In this era of dwindling physical media sales I think that is a very unwise thing to do to your fanbase.

 

And now, to add insult to injury, nearly three weeks have gone by since the release date and I have not even received the box set I bought - and paid for - in February. This mishandled process has completely undermined my enjoyment of Warp and Bleep's service. Whenever I wanted to buy a Warp artist's album I used to buy it through Bleep in order to support the label and didn't mind paying the slight extra premium, but that is no longer the case.

 

I would like a refund for the box, and the downloads, WHATEVER they are worth. I will delete the files downloaded, since I own the EPs and can rip them myself. I will also return the physical media if they ever arrive. And I won't be buying anything from Bleep if I have the option to purchase it elsewhere. I'm sorry it turned out this way and I thought you should know why you lost a customer.

it's the hidden track from EP7

Got this today for my birthday, fucking immense. Zeiss Contarex!

An interesting read (didn't get all of it, my english isn't that good)

http://www.cokemachineglow.com/record_review/6446/autechre-epsbox-2011

very interesting!!! well-written

well he gets kraftwerk wrong but that's ok.

yeah! just bought this. all I had on cd was tri rep.

$23 on amazon...cheap.

This box was very good chance for me to have a complete discography quick and at a low cost. So I'm happy with it. 

It's a shame it misses the We R Are Why ⁄ Are Y Are We EP, and that EP7 is splitted. Because of the latter I purchased a used EP7 too... should arrive in a couple of days.
