    This just in - my replacement vinyl discs (all 12) arrived today.

     

    Flat as a pancake this time thank goodness, and the pressing is exceptionally good.

     

    Just a heads up though - while I wasn’t expecting them to necessarily send replacement sleeves, they have done.

     

    They are, however, not the same sleeves as before. They are on lighter stock and don’t have the black embossed foil.

     

    Not a complaint as I’m currently attempting to flatten my existing ones anyway.

     

    Bleep really came through on this. Their customer service was excellent as always.

    Yep mine are on the way !

    Hi there,

     

    As we have run out of stock for this release, Warp are in the process of pressing new copies for the replacement scheme. As you can imagine, this can take some time however we will be able to provide you with a new box set.

    I got the CD box set this week and I just noticed that both first discs of NTS Session 1 & 2 suffer of parts that look like they are melted. It's located on the white side, just above the text.

     

    Mailed bleep about that just now, and then I'll see...

    Hope mine will be fine... seriously have they heard about quality control ?

    Aphex Twin - Collapse EP

    Somewhere in this thread someone mentioned how horrendous the cover art is... I have to agree. Anyone up for making a thread to submit alternate cover art? I could imagine a cover more like this style:

    Of course with the aphex symbol.. and a dash a Gary Indiana vibes... somehow.

     

    (Not sure how to visually accomplish this but if someone found a way that would be cool)

    Is this r/aphextwin ? Is this real life ?

    Just got an update from Bleep Support (which, I have to admit, is pretty damn good for the most part). Apparently Warp are aware of the issue and working on a "replacement programme".

     

    So the scale of the problem is clearly such that they're looking to replace units on a large scale.

     

    Same thing, must admit their customer service is on point

    Heinrich Mueller - False Vacuum

    Heinrich Mueller remix compilation out September 23 on Weme

    This is the first time any of Heinrich Mueller’s highly sought after remodels/reworks have been compiled together. Many have been previously available only on limited releases and have patiently been awaiting discovery by a wider audience. For those who don’t know, since the mid ’90s Heinrich Mueller (Drexciya/Dopplereffekt) has been quietly amassing an impressive catalogue of these unique productions (currently about  40+) which completely transforms the other artist’s track to his own exacting specifications. To the effect that there might be very little or nothing at all left of the original production.

    These 9 specially selected examples embrace all facets of his approach.

    First up is the ultra smooth and minimal ‘Fadin’ Away’ by The Hacker from 2000, probably one of his most sublime and timeless creations. Then jump forward to 2011 when he serves up an infectious and sparse slice of robot funk for Albert van Abbe’s ‘NCS_0009121010’. By the time of Alek Stark’s ‘Halo 6’ (2014) he’s still got the dance-floor on his mind, but it’s located on an alien or perhaps underwater world in some dimension parallel to our own. In 2009 he works for the first time with fellow Drexciyan traveller DJ Stingray and delivers the hard edged but still quite delicate ‘Drone FX’. Jump to 2005 and he conjures the playfully disjointed ‘P.O.M. (Time Dilation Mix 2)’ for Duplex.

    In 2000, when he had a close relationship to the label, International DeeJay Gigolo, who were releasing Dopplereffekt and the first fruits of Der Zyklus, they commissioned him to make a series of groundbreaking mixes. On one of which he got to mesh his own futuristic vision with that of Stanley Kubrick on ‘Dave’ by Station Rose. The other closes this collection and is another of his most accessible works, with the best bassline, ‘What Use’ by the legendary ’70s San Francisco band, Tuxedomoon. In 2011 he also produced a darkly atmospheric and relentlessly mechanical interpretation of DJ Stingray’s ‘The Sadist’. In 2003, another of his best production efforts,  again aimed off-squarely at yet another form of mutant dance floor, came out of a total revamp of an untitled track by The Advent.

    Fittingly this was originally included on Recreations, an album where artists were invited to do what Heinrich Mueller does best.
