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."

 

How come you presumed "extended" just applied to digital edition, yet at the same time did not presume that "with material not heard on the original" applied to CD.

Or to be more illustrative:

"available as a double-length extended digital edition or CD with material not heard on the original"

why does the first bold thing sounds good to you, but second doesn't?

Because it's bad grammar. It makes the sentence overtly verbose where it needn't have been.

 

It's just so hard to admit you're wrong? You're fucking wrong. The sentence is perfect as it is, and people who don't understand it should seriously check their grammar. The one and only way this could be confusing would be if it said: "available as a double-length extended digital edition with material not heard on the original or a CD". Since the "with material not heard on the original" part stands behind the "CD" it's pretty fucking obvious what it means.

The sentence IS wrong because there is a blatantly misplaced comma.

Does anyone else not have the ability to download their digital copies off Bleep after having bought a CD?

I've always gotten digital downloads after buying any release.

i believe that's only with certain releases. it definitely applies to artists on the Warp roster.

i was just thinking that if the AE boys could sit on 30 minutes of unreleased material this good , how much other Ae material is out there! !

approx. 2 years 8 months worth...

Im going home for lunch to see if the postman has been.

Surprised I didn't get nowt today. Bollocks.

I've never heard about that release until right now.

???

Ordered Wednesday evening. Waiting for me by front door on return from work today.

WOOT!

(Also got two SKAM logo double sided sticker things and haven't yet worked out how they work...)

no post for me.

FFS

To be honest, I order from Bleep because they're pretty good about tossing shit across the pond quickly. Hope it's here soon.

Edit: Antape, it's a fucking treat.

This release sounds absolutely fantastic.

Hope Sean and Rob are makin some bank from the Vimto product placement on the inside cover.

Good times.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to spot that!

Old school Vimto bottle. Way better than the new ones.

Ordered this earlier on today. Looking forward to getting it in the post. :)

I wonder why they never released parts 3 and 4 before now? I really want them to do a Plastikman style box of everything they've ever done, including all the live sets. Although it would have to be many, many discs and much money. Or maybe just series of From the Archives, like FSOL did. I would be all over that

Myself (and a few others I am sure) would like a box of everything unreleased up to that point. With a Warp20 style fan vote for half a dozen complete live sets. And a few discs of excerpts of classic Autechre live, chunks that need hearing but not nessasary the whole gig. And everything else. Loads of amazing artwork etc.

Name the price and I would buy it.

Name the price (and add a bit) and I would buy it.

that would surely be priceless...

We can dream, I can't see it ever happening though. But I never expected to get bonus Lego Feet material either...

I think the track that starts at the 4:20 mark on the original side 1 is my favourite thing that Booth and Brown have ever done.

absolutely love it too.

the metallic percussion is killer, and the melody gives such a mysterious feeling to it. never get tired of listening to it

That actually looks pretty tasty for a CD.

Listened to this again today and found it hard to believe that they'd sat on the extra bits all these years, it's fucking shit-hot. Late contender for release of the year, surely?

I am not a big Autechre fan, but I remember I used to be really into this release a few years ago, so I am giving a listen to the re-release now. It's absolutely great.
