XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

This might leak today.

All it takes is one person to leak this and it will push to Bleep by the next day. I actually see this as a good thing... If given the immediate choice of tracking down a subpar rip or a great quality DL, they'd have my money right then and there. Otherwise, once this officially comes out, they have little control over the rip that becomes the standard ware. The way I see it, many do not pay and people who are curious at best, who would never commit to physical media in the first place, are content with a subpar 128kbps rip and that is what represents their work to the majority of those on the web. Or, Bleep gets ahead of it first sign of a leak, and nails down the dedicated right out of the gate, secures some pay, and their work (if it leaks further) is reflected by better quality controlled audio.

Word.

Good, with the exception of F these are pretty decent amounts of time per vinyl side. Nothing's more irritating than having to flip sides every 10 minutes...

another argument for the CD/digital format. I can't rationalize spending upwards of $50 for a bulk of unwieldy-ass materials (4Xvinyl LP)

That, and you need a pretty nice turntable/cartridge/stereo setup for crystalline sound.

And less time per side give you a nice and loud pressing.. Lush..

indeed, this vinyl biz just looks idiotic in comparison to digital in every sense...unless some people might feel that their exai experience is not complete without having a piece of cardboard with enlarged qr code in their hands.

also, where the fuck is the leak ?!

This.

I have to take a 2.5 hour round trip bus ride today, and would really appreciate the album to leak some time in the next 45 minutes.

Sean just sent me a psychic message using the spirits of his dead ancestors and blood on the walls and he says he's going to leak it in a few minutes.

Buy CD or digital. Problem solved.
