Some people are reporting this to be a 'double-album' but I haven't seen that explicitly stated anywhere known to be (or speculated to be) official. Am I missing something?

after i long though about it, i've figured it's a multiple release, not a double album,

the rest is speculation,

different pseudo/labels ?

separated by weeks/months ?

different style ambient/IDM ?

isnt the obvious next move a video a la window licker?

3 albums

guuyyyssss how did we miss this obvious teaser

Considering the barcode is fake in that photo wouldn't it be possible to work out what a real barcode might be? Not that this would necessarily help much.

I'm not bothering with the back photo until it's clear that it's a clue and that the source is legitimate. Yeah joyrex has latched on but he could just be trolling.

Hope this features Die Antwoord raps and some Skrillex type drops.

am I the only one who sees stretched writing aling the ride side of the back cover image? I see many O's or 0's and an e aswell

goddammit end of the page

On a related note, I'm not sure why Warp would go with a different barcode to their usual design/format (see attached).. a placeholder is useless unless it's the same size as the final version. Also, I'd say they'd probably have the barcode and catalogue number already sorted out.. especially late enough for them to have a mockup created.

With Bangface celebrating its 100th party next year with a return of the weekenders, I would imagine that an Aphex appearance would be a pretty safe bet....

yeah the back cover could have been made in the usa and the euro plug put in there to mess with the origin; nevertheless it doesnt belong. its clearly a still life arranged on a desk top. Everything there is almost completely random, which might match the mindset of a mad genius. So, symbols aside, I think what we are reduced to is appreciating this for near total aesthetic value, where we will find texture and 'instagram' style, vintage halftone processing that gives the image a sort of depth, or distance from the critical gaze.

if i were joyrex, (a graphic designer hisself,) i would support any graphic designer who submitted this. Its nice work, but doesnt seem autobiographical to RDJ, rather to someone else.

if it was TDR, then forget it, whatever they do will fly.

Isn't the barcode missing a number? Shouldn't there be another at the end too? And continuing the pattern, it would be a 3?

3 albums confirmed

I hate whenever I get a Blerp email and there's never any Aphex news

Warp seems to use 13-digit barcodes starting with a 0 (EAN?), and 12-digit barcodes without a leading 0 (UPC?).

I doubt it's real though. EAN barcode search returns this:

How could another product have this same barcode?

hype is officially over... sorry AFX/Warp. Wake me up when something happens
