why do the japanese get more aphex than everyone else?

They almost always get a bonus track. Like Sean from Autechre said:

 

"really it's just the fact that CDs are so expensive there that they need something exclusive, otherwise everyone buys the import"

 

 

So here's a thought. Put the bonus track on the rest of world release and let the Japanese people import it for cheaper while simultaneously not shafting the fans that live in the rest of the world. Sure it's all great for Japan, but now the rest of the world has to pay ridiculously high import costs to order the complete version only sold in Japan lol.

 

 

That just wouldn't be so great for music industrie in Japan tho

Rest of the world > Japan

There I said it.

lol

how can one order it outside of Bleep like at Amazon and still enter the raffle?

You don't have to purchase anything to enter the raffle. Just gotta go on the site and follow instructions.

I'm thinking of pre-ordering Syro through iTunes. I've been doing it for more than year for all my digital purchases. It's cool that iTunes download the tracks automaticaly to all your devices. And they're always in the cloud.

 

Could someone give me a reason why I should do it through blerp? I don't care about physical media, sorry.

Just out the bottle under the seat and let it roll.

Because 24bit wav

 

IF you care about audio at that quality... if you think iTunes audio sounds good enough, order via iTunes. That's what I did. I actually ordered the physical via Amazon.

 

not interested in the limited edition?

 

Depends on if I get a raffle ticket or not - you do know you DON'T have to purchase from Bleep to enter, right?

Honestly, if it wasn't for the obnoxious shipping costs, I'd go for the Japanese CD - that's the complete set, IMO.

 

so that means you're gonna torrent the bonus track like me eh joyboss, you dirty ol' pirate

 

Willing to pay $400 for a few posters, but not willing to pay $10 shipping for the complete song set?

I also can't stomach paying $24 for an import CD (to get one song) when all I want is the digital tracks though...

Would be nice if they could at least make it available for download in the US. (I only do non-DRM mp3, not proprietary iTunes.) Heck, make it an "album only" track and charge an extra $2 for the digital "import" album... or allow it to only be bought separately from the album, $2 for the "import-only track," or however they want to characterize it... Everyone wins I say!

Just preordered both the vinyl & the CD trough Bleep, excited!!

and whoah, 118 pages in one week....

very true - as I catch-up on this thread, I'm listening to my daughter on the piano, having 'motivated' her to put in her daily practice.

maybe once aphex jr. starts releasing more music we can add him to the artists subforum section of watmm.

by then joyrex jr. can take the helm moderating.

maybe?

Maybe just a bit. Holy shit this is exciting, haha.

FANGTASTIC

Rlly enjoying Syro!

s950tx16wasr10 is EASILY the most insane/best track ever. Then again anything with fucking 'earth portal mix' is bound to be.

6/10

Oh, nice identifying the font!

 

Interesting - a Google search for Silian Rail font comes up with the fact it is in fact a fictional font, most closely visually to Garamond Classico Roman SC...

 

And, it's used quite a bit on fictional business cards - very odd coincidence!

that's not the right font, the R doesn't look right (even if you take into account that it's a thicker style, the top part of the R has a smaller "hole" in it)

 

 

 

A lot of cool fonts on that site but they're fucking expensive
