I bet you could do some ace noise reduction if you'd put every single ink record together.

nah because the phase of the recorded audio signal would have to match up perfectly after you digitized every different record, and it wouldn't. so you'd get weird comb filtering in the audio

Joyrex pls don't play with us

My heart and soul can't take this no more

I really think that this lottery thing is stupid. Either you get it or you don't why exactly just sell it as is.

Well you're no fun.

The alternative would be to put it up for sale for $400 and it would be sold within a day.

This isn't much different but gives everyone (not just the first people to see the page) the opportunity to enter and get a chance to win.

pictures and description of the limited edition version

now I want it even more.

you still entered into the lottery though, right?

of course you did.

Wow, that looks pretty nice, actually. Thanks for posting, Osc.

yeah thanks for the link. love the look of it, i'll be enjoying it further when someone here purchases it and posts pics.

The bonus track is printed on perspex as well as a cardboard version? Does that mean there's actually a version to play properly?

"...and fans seeing it in terms of value for money (ironically), for example, when the real message lies in the deconstructive absence of either."

it's ironic that someone wonders if their likely hard-earned money should be spent on a manufactured relic, and if it's actually worthy of that money? instead of wondering about the value of this thing and if it's worthy of our money, we should realize that the 'message lies in the etc etc' what does that even mean anyway? seems like they are actually saying right there that there is an absence of value for money... like they are literally saying 'this isn't actually worth your money, and that's the point'

...

oh damn, thats sexy as fuck

so very aphex in nature.

100% agree with what you've said here

Worth = supply vs demand

''leah's travel costs to UK radio station'' £0.00002

not worth it.

it looks nice...still won't be able to afford it though :/

I wonder what the normal CD looks like (Digipak? hopefully)
Also do you think the "normal" vinyl will be the same as the one inside this box
also did I see that right? the bonus track is called "syrobonkus"?

Leah makes it to the radio station reception...

"Sorry, we won't be playing your record."

Notice how she didn't get travel costs back from the radio station? Cold blooded, Warp... cold-blooded

The fuck??

They did buy her lunch though so perhaps there was change left over for a train ticket back

I wouldn't be able to pass one of these up, even though i can barely afford to make a purchase this big work.

I am hoping there will be a big surprise in store for people that get one of these in their hands.

Wasn't Richard quoted as saying it will be worth the money in one of the non-english interviews that has popped up lately?

Any thoughts on the following items listed on Syrobonkus?

Processing of 12" Lacquer for print

180g Pressing Supplement

If I come up trumps, I'll shell out. If I don't, I know I will beat myself up forever over not taking the plunge on this.

It is a serious amount of money though.

it is a lot but just think about how much it will cost on the second-hand market
