Bleep vinyl arrived today (UK). Came with one of the cards and a sticker.

 

I didn't get a card :(

Edit: Oh yes I did, it fell out of the box onto my couch.

mine did yes and it wasn't contained in the vinyl, was just loose in the packaging :)

As far as i can tell, the download card that comes with the vinyl only gives you the downloads for the mp3s of syro.

nothing else seems to have been added to my bleep order

what's the point of the other card?

the people that preorder instore get the (actual) card, they must have had a lot of left over cards so just put it in with the internet orders.

I think I'll frame mines

I'm tempted to put the chartreuse sticker which was on the plastic directly onto the outer sleeve of the album - that might end up being really awful in a year or so but the cover looks so empty without the little green circle

I thought of doing that as well, but it is now on the back of my laptop

To be honest, it's kinda my fault for ordering two preorders that will be bundled together (I also preordered You're Dead by Flying Lotus, coming out on October 6th). If you do it separately you have to pay more because of the separate packaging. Also they're both JP editions, so they'll be shipped from Japan. Oh well! I guess it will build up more suspense for me anyway. Plus, it was free delivery. :D

 

oh well, 2 awesome releases in one day!!

Christ, this is as lush as cake. I'm blinking in time with the lush beats.

Do i need to use Tor for anything? any secret web shit? very hard to keep up with the flood of info.

warp

not yet I don't think, I checked the website that's on the yellow card and there doesn't seem to be anything on it

Oof, and now some amen. BIG BOOOYAAAA

I've been a fex fan for a good few moons, and I approve of this :D x. Jolly good show, oof.

Got my vinyl through the post today

first time i actually waited to get the vinyl for an album instead of listening to a leak. worth it. damn.

To think how long he's held onto tracks of this quality without giving a shit about releasing them. It's fucking criminal. How can you have a track like XMAS EVET10 sitting there for years and be content with not showing it off???

And Produk 29 is one fucking moody beast. I get a boner every time she says "Whore".

The first half of this is perfect for a lazy Saturday morning (pre coffee). Second half is for when I've had my coffee and let the adrenaline run its course, paying strict attention. wooo

PAPAT4 is the first track I love. Also it isn't as 'thick' soundwise which I enjoy far more than that Clark-y sound.

I like 4 bit 9d as well, but… at 1:24 there's this lovely melody, which is repeated at 1:31 but altered in exactly the way 90% of mediocre producers would do. It makes me cringe everytime. That has never happened with Aphex so far.

I'm just not feeling this album. It may be interesting from a technical point of view, but there are very few moments where I get the Aphex feeling. I keep trying.
