Metz is a deep cut, too complex to release as a promo unless trimmed to 5:30 or 6:00

This wasn't hard to trim

don't understand why nobody made a proper countdown with a cool design and stuff

ps: i'd have if i had the skills for this

edit^^^ count down

If anyone here is good at web programming, it could be fun to make a aphextwinsyro.info count down website, yellow back ground, buy the font used on the cover and count it down to smallest passing of time xxxxxxxxxxxnano seconds, all 0's replaced with aphex logo, we could work together (im a designer).

i understand they are alien technology from the 80's, but why are we still using CD's? Only reason im considering a CD purchase is for the album swag. Ive had it with CD's. let's leave them behind with Robert Palmer. .They buzz and stop and start like a circular saw in my computer. im sure im alone in this.

Some of us arent rich enough to plunk for vinyl but still want to give money to artists. CDs cost the same as downloads usually and are essentially giving you digital files and a nice backup copy with nice album swag/art. And then of course there are loads of CDs that you can't download -- like all of rephlex for example. Makes sense to me!

id rather have a second gen copy from the reel to reel, but good answers.

Just read on norman records fb, a listening party next friday

so maybe a possible leak then, or some official stream, that was with BOC?

Listening party.

I need to get in on the NYC one.

It begins.

I'll definitely try to go the London one. Lottery commencing next Sunday!

Warp is down!

Richard demands his money back for the Seattle listening party.

While warp is down.

Yeah!!

London next Friday? I could make that.

"And your name is?"

"Jasond-...

errr..

Sean Booth"

Oh dear. Still down.

Would I rather listen to the first new Aphex Twin album for 13 years in a place packed with noisy cunts (not yous guys of course, I don't doubt you're all lovely) in a building with some do-doubt wacky inappropriate acoustics - Or wait another week or so to hear the 24bit (for bonus nulls!) monster with a studio-grade audio setup ?

hmm the chicago one is 2hrs away from me, anyone else going to that one? how do these warp listening parties usually go down?

running data from a phone or portable player into a stereo means you're using the cheap tiny sound card in that little device, and the sound still has to be processed by the stereo after that.

 

backing up files is a pain.

 

cds will survive a bad solar flare.

 

cds cost about the same as files and you can turn them into files.

 

CDs are very high quality audio. And are relatively durable. And are relatively cheap. And are re-sellable. And have pretty art. And is a physical object with which one can make emotional attachments. And are generally accepted as the industry standard for years to come (sorry MD/Blu-Ray/SACD/etc., you're all too niche/whatever). And are DRM-free. And will still be good in 50 years (I'll be curious to see if WAV/FLAC/etc is still around that long from now).

CDs rule.

I don't always buy physical copies of music,

but when I do, it's CDs.

ah man i live in london, need to go
