bit late for that.

 

Notch didn't buy Analogue Bubblebath 5 from him...

Richard's concern was that higher quality rips would end up online, effectively scuppering any reason to release them legitamately.

 

I guess I can finally share this bit of the whole story since he's mentioned who bought them ultimately:

 

When we were getting ready to list the Caustic Window LP on Ebay, it was also decided to go ahead and list ABB5 and MFM as well - all was fine until the last minute, when someone sniped both releases - turns out that sniper was Richard himself, as he explained his reasons - the more he thought about higher quality rips getting out there, the less incentive for him to legitimately release them (and he was working towards doing so).

 

So, we talked with Ebay, got the auctions cancelled, and approached Notch Persson, who at this point was buying the Caustic Window LP (and actually was in the running for Melodies From Mars, but Richard outbid him at the last minute), and Grant talked to Notch, who agreed to purchase the others at an undisclosed price, since we were assured Notch wasn't going to rip and leak these online (keep in mind, this was the last known copy of the MFM test pressing - much higher quality than the tapes that got leaked years ago).

 

That's why I had to say nay to the Kickstarters for MFM and ABB5, and why the Ebay auctions happened the way they did.

 

 

This story is not 100% accurate... ABB5 wasn't bought by Notch.

 

 

That's correct... the ABB5 was bought by another buyer - I didn't mention this in case they didn't want that to be public knowledge and avoid any potential publicity/scrutiny.

Sorry about Tim Horton's

 

 

Yea, sorry. If we know anything about BK's track record, well, goodbye Tim Horton's...

 

Yeah, but Wendy's (a hamburger chain here in the States) owned Timmy's for a bit, so it's not like this spells doom for Timmy's - if anything, it hopefully means Americans will finally get more exposure to double doubles and decent coffee that's not served by a topless mermaid.

Also timmies food is pretty good, if not a bit expensive. Sandwhiches are good/fresh ingredients (doesn't taste like chemicals like subway).

lol we're talking about Tim Hortons in the new Aphex thread.

I really liked it when I was up in Canada last year - I have no idea if the Stateside Timmy's are up to the same standards as the domestic ones are.

Joyrex, burger king, which I frequent often, doesn't know what they want to be. Constantly changing menus, fries, everything. Out of fast food chains in my area, they are the most poorly maintaned, staffed & longest wait times with minimal customers compared to the other big hitters. If it weren't for the great coupons & proximity to work, I wouldn't bother with them. Always a long wait. always...

I hope Tim Hortons survives their plan, whatever it is & no matter how often they change it. Which they will change...and change...and change.

They have already stated they will maintain separate operations and that the merger is just for a tax shelter. I suppose we shall see!

Burger King has always tempted me with the variety in their menu, but almost every time I dare to eat there, I end up with really noxious gas (I mean even I can't stand it), or a horrible case of the shits.

No, no. I don't doubt it, just laughing at the bluntness of BK.

hmmm...agreed I guess.

This Syro thread is covering so much ground, it's kinda of turning into the second general banter forum.

Off the official site to buy the album in japan.

Lol, that would be like RDJ's Random Access Memories

'Announcing 'Syro' - A new album by Aphex Twin to be released on Warp Records 22/23 September.

Whenever one of the most celebrated and influential electronic fartist, Richard D. James can compete with the music flip to influence built. The better part of a decagon, James Polygon Window, Caustic Window, GAK and maintain, including `Aphex Twin has unreleased music under several thousand monikers great pace.'

i presume you guys noticed this already, i havent been here for the 120 pages

very new here; I lurked during the boctransmissions, good to share the excitement about the imminent shit. so how many of the live tracks are established as being n the record? I know the usual suspects: m,mz,St. is there a fourth?

 

I try to update the original post with useful information for as long as it feels relevant to do so. There is no track or performance apart from manchester, metz or singapore that's virtually confirmed, let alone suggested, although some members have baselessly suggested that the Barbican (suspended piano) performance might be aisatsana (track 12).

 

There are two recent interview snippets by fader mag and pitchfork if you check back with the OP.

 

Current news is that we have discovered the typeface on the album cover to be Norm Simple Regular.

 

 

Nah, the font is definitely Decima Mono. Look at Norm Simple's W, it's too wide, The serifs on the I are too narrow. The 'g' is totally different from the one seen in the album artwork. Compare the lowercase fonts..!

 

Here's Decima Mono Light

And regular, which is probably used for the vignette

 

I'm a typography nerd

 

wicked, thanks for postting this

 

well done. i immediately went to simple (i use that font often at work) but i noticed the edges weren't rounded, i just thought they modified the typeface.

nice one.

for future reference, if you want to identify any font, just go to google and search for "online font identification" there is at least one site that lets you upload image files, whether you get the font from a photo or a screenshot.

sheesh, its not even that IDM cmon guise

So much exitement for the font but nobody here splattering their pants for the possibility of a second new aphex twin album now a new clark is announced???

Wtf people mind blown
