Maybe the Station tracklist is just a placeholder... doesn't make much sense otherwise

pretty sure thats just the way it is

no vinyl version of The Station? or is the bleep page for it just messed up.

 

edit: saw above post. I'm glad they aren't releasing two EPs at the same time, saves me some money. Looks like warp/bleep messed up the advertising of the whole thing though.

So, on Warp:

 

- The Station = T-Shirt + Digital EP bundle (with The Station as Track 1)

- We'll Take It = 12" (with WTI only on the physical release, no digital)

Thing is, I've also snooped around a few of the digital outlets in various regions, and The Station is listed specifically as a separate release.

As you just posted, it seems like We'll Take It is physical only and The Station is digital only, so now it makes sense that they share b-sides. Was posting under the assumption that they'd both be digital vinyls

turns out you can now get the cards via Bleep, but only if you buy a whole lot of stuff along with it

Looks like I'll just be grabbing the WTI Vionel RichiEP + slurping the wavs then. Not getting swept up in some pricey oddball bundle that requires me to buy the album and a shirt ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᴵ'ᵐ ⁿᵒᵗ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵏᵉᵉⁿ ᵒⁿ

Bleep page for physical states 'EP + WAV' (bitrate unspecified), so they're giving you a digital copy as well, but of what - the tracks from the vinyl? To confuse matters further, 'The Station' digital EP has an option to buy 24bit.

Not sure if the vibe of this is supposed to be echoing 90s-style CD1 + CD2 single releases, but even those had variations among included tracks (live versions, remixes), and definitely weren't sharing the majority of the same tracks on each disc.

 

I would understand it if the title track(s) were separate from the album release which might be down to licensing issues as a reason, but with both being album tracks, this just seems like a weirdly confusing mis-step from Warp. Why bosh it up like this, when it will more than likely cause outlets to report that 2 EPs are coming out, only to have to explain that they contain the same 3 tracks? Not to mention that both lead tracks are on the album... now that was a common tactic back in the heady CD single days, but is it a relevant promo approach in the modern era, when people just blindly queue up and stream albums at a time regardless?

There should also be a video for The Station soon by Daylen Seu. This should give you an idea of what to expect:

 

Was disappointed that the London show didn't have as many bells and whistles as were implied but the bits when the percussionist got all plinky plonky were real nice.

Babylon was just as bad live but at least when I closed my eyes I saw Bryan Adams. Thanx watmm.

Eli Keszler is an ace drummer no doubt. Some footage of warning / we'll take it from barbican on his instagram.

Ace! Nice 1.

Confusing as fuck with these EP releases.

 

Note it says "first three collectors cards" which reads likes its an ongoing thing.

 

That t-shirt it lush though, I might splash out....

So ya know, the bundles will include a 16bit WAV version of the We'll Take It EP, and not the 24bit WAV of The Station EP that is available for purchase separately.

it's just all the different new parameters tricking you into thinking this is more confusing than it is.

Parameters upon parameters.

I feel like I'm already invested after buying the CD/Shirt bundle. I probably have to buy the EP bundle now right?
