Autechre Lego Feet with Bonus Tracks

I bought it off bleep because they know me well enough from customer service complaints to serve me well this time, I'm sure.

It makes perfect sense.

Shut up.

I do agree. I think I'm going to listen to it right now

My guess is that there'll be no vinyl, so that those of us who already have it on vinyl won't be sad for having dropped a bunch of money. Having said that, I'm very happy about this release... Lego Feet has been one of my favorites of Autechre, and it's light years ahead of what they'd do for the next few years on Warp. I'm pumped to hear the bonus tracks that they threw in.

looks like Bleep still can't get this right:

Essential reissue of this classic from the halcyon era of early 90s electronic music. Lego Feet is strongly rumoured to be Autechre's debut release on Skam... And in fact, Skam's first ever release. Now 20 years on, material taken from the original tapes is finally available and as a double-length extended digital edition or CD with material not heard on the original 12". It now weighs in at a mighty 70 minutes comprising of 4 epic tracks. A holy grail of electronic music, showcasing some of their most nascent and most probing explorations into electro. Seeing as how the original 12" goes for serious top dollar on eBay and Discogs, this is now the perfect opportunity to (re)discover this gem.

the way they're describing it makes out that there is a difference between the digital download and the CD, when in fact there is not.

yeah that's what i reckon, too. they haven't done the vinyl so that the original pressing won't be devalued and will remain just as sort after and collectable, etc.

no that makes sense now, at least to me. they've not said there's anything different about the CD. it's all in the same sentence.

you could read it from the "CD" point, and it says "...CD with material not heard on the original.."

simples.

no it doesn't make sense. "available as a double-length extended digital edition or CD with material not heard on the original" that quite clearly makes a distinction between the two editions.

also, using an annoying advertisement's catchphrase is rather silly.

by proxy of the fact that you've had to edit their description just so that it makes sense, proves that their initial description is fucked.

makes sense to me. you're being overly 'nit-picky' again, mister osc.

i don't think the "or" is confusing at all. - digital or cd. both are extended with material not heard on the original. simple.

the only thing wrong with the sentence really is that somebody's put an "and" in there by mistake.

Perfectly clear description even for someone who's not from English speaking countries.

"available as a double-length extended digital edition or CD with material not heard on the original". These are the two editions - you can buy former or latter.

Will not buy it from Bleep though.

I think the confusion came from whether or not "extended" applied to just the digital edition (due to its location in the sentence) or both versions. So I like your version, but I do not think it completely resolves that problem of grammar.

This is fun! One thing they could have said was "A double-length extended edition, available on CD or digital, with material not heard on the original."
