Boomkat are shipping the physical copies on Friday. Bleep had better be doing the same.

Actually, as soon as that photo was posted, I did a search to see if anyone had attempted it. Not many have. I think this is my time to shine! We do a thing at work called Tie July, so I think it might have to happen amidst that craziness! I knew you had a thing going on at work with ties. If you can get a japanese starburst design like that, you get extra iddums

oh my fucking lol I never noticed the double ties! Modey, would you ever wear two ties?

it automatically dries him when he falls in the pool, because boards don't work on water

Mmmm danone

Don't like this track. It's too clean sounding.

and the Quake soundtrack is still the best thing he's ever done

lol

interpretive representation of the anguish over the recent tapes saga by those who opposed the sale

I bet they're canandian too

hilarious and scary the man from wattum, he say "yes"

my copy LP sounds awesome. i would personally highly recommend it.

that's cool. just means that it will drive people to download FLAC files from other sources. doesn't matter, they still have a sale. I think the Exai debacle (crashing their servers due to demand, and probably they got hit with massive overage costs from AWS) precluded this. There might have not been enough demand for FLAC to warrant it, either. Mark my words - Bleep and boardsofcanada.com will crater like never before when Tomorrow's Harvest streams and/or the digital downloads are released. Perhaps that's why they haven't up until now...? But Bleep went down when Oversteps was released. and when Move of Ten was released. and of course, when Exai was released. if they were making the decision based on whether the site could stand up, they made the decision pretty late if you ask me. In any case, FLACs from the CD will show up on the internet on the night of 4th June UK time (which would be morning Japanese), so it's all cool. FLACs will be available to those who want them. Well, (fourth) time's a charm, right? So perhaps they finally have wised up that their big artists have a rabid fanbase and their servers cannot handle the demand. I guess we'll see when the Autechre EP comes out. Either way, I'm alright because for some stupid fucking reason I decided to buy the CD as well as the Vinyl. oh well. I wanted the art cards, plus better-than-mp3 files. I've got a bad feeling that these 'art cards' will be exactly the same as the artwork on the inner sleeves of the records. And If I want better than MP3 files, I have my sources.

That's true, since at the moment it's pretty ambiguous. With the last 3 Autechre releases I got the whole gamut of available download formats, I'm just assuming it would be the same here.

I hope so and I hope it's in FLAC. The album will be released in 320kbps MP3, 16-bit WAV and FLAC and 24-bit WAV.

Often ordering Warp stuff from Warp Bleep, and particularly new albums, will get you a sticker, or other promotional stuff. But it's not a given. I haven't gotten any stickers, badges, or any other kind of promo stuff from Bleep since 2009.

an EP

was really pleased to hear that track after all the rest of the stuff coming out. I somehow doubt that the new stuff will be as hard hitting as this one. ruiner horns for the win

I guess you haven't heard this then? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wu9bm-RJMWM

I think the fact that the records were physically distributed to locations around the world, in addition to the online content, made it loosely fit into the "ARG" mould. but there's no alternate reality going on here with this. A high profile example of an ARG was the Year Zero ARG that NIN did with that company...that was supposing that there was some underground resistance force or something. As far as I can see, there's no alternate reality element to this at all, it's just a protracted marketing gimmick. "loosely" I'd say that's stretching it far past the breaking point of the elastic, don't you think?
