ypc1200 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Does anyone know the significance of the Syro (credit card sized) Dropcard that is limited to 5,000 copies worldwide?: http://easystreetonline.com/blog/11622/pre-order-the-new-aphex-twin-album-from-us It seems like it is not a ticket for admission to one of the Syro listening parties, but the slightly larger card that some people are getting with it at the same places (it appears to be all record stores)... https://twitter.com/risebristol/status/505393967085940737/photo/1 is a ticket to a listening party...

ypc1200 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 I guess this post someone just made in the main Syro thread answers my question... When I found out a store in my area had these I was hoping they'd also have tickets to the listening party but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 None on ebay yet, but there are bootleg shirts LOL http://m.ebay.com/itm/181509681459?nav=SEARCH Would anyone be willing to grab a card for me? I'll pay p+p and send you something nice in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentvision Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Was talking with a record store employee when got one of the drop cards when preordered. They are under the impression due to documentation given to them accompanying the cards and an email from their distribution company (Redeye) they are going to allow access to digital content. They received 9 cards at their location and also mentioned the 5000 worldwide number. There was some significance dealing with September 14th. They were kind of baffled by the whole situation. The Redeye email did offer up this URL: http://www.theplayground.co.uk/aphex-twin-new-album-release-a-statement-on-online-privacy/ The bottom number appears to be the only difference printed on cards. Your card number out of the 5000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Score! Grabbed one on lunch, didn't even pre-order. #4809/5000 Asked the two hipsters behind the counter "you two ever heard of Aphex?" *points down at green card* "Nope, must be before my time."

Moon Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I got mine today in a shop in the US and it's numbered 5264. Not sure about the "limited to 5000" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloman Tump Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Rapture in Witney, Oxfordshire had plenty of these... he had a bundle in a rubber band under the counter.... really bizarre how they ended up with them, Witney is a small market town in the middle of nowhere!

dumplings Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Managed to pick mine up in Crouch End after work today! I didn't even have to pre-order (although I did feel a little bad afterwards, I'm gonna go back and buy something to put the world to rights) the record. Managed to get a 2nd one for my brother as one of the record store workers told me to "take them al!" only to be scowled at by the other guy behind the counter!

J3FF3R00 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I have 2 dropcards now! I may have a 3rd coming in the mail, if I'm lucky. I actually pre-ordered the album twice on LP (once from Bleep and once from a record store). I walked in another record store and they just handed me one without a purchase, so I went home and pre-ordered the CD from them, just to show my love. Now I'll have 3 copies of SYRO, but thats ok by me. Won't be the first time I've purchased multiple copies of Aphex goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
