Just finally got my LP that I pre-ordered from Bleep over a month ago.
I got ANOTHER drop card and one sticker.
I now have 4 drop cards.
I was really hoping it would come with that 12" window decal I heard about. Alas.

The thought of me burning out this album terrifies me. I'm so into it right now. Especially the 1st 3 tracks, "180db_" and the last 3 tracks... And all of the others :)At this point, I wake up in the morning with a moment from this album in my head
yeah this is happening to me, and during the day I find some passages just appear and then I realise I'm humming them, the vocal peice in minipops especially but others too
I'm having a few days rest though, always careful of the overkill factor.....
I know lots of people saying they aren't stoked that there aren't any really "groundbreaking crazy mental insane mind warping brain exploding" moments on it like in 54 Cymru Beats or whatever, but I'm cool with that. I think it could add to the albums freshness and shelf life. Every album he puts out blows my mind in its own way, and this one is no exception.
It's just more restrained.
I've been playing the fuck out of it tho.

Guys.
Don't feed the trolls.
Moving on.
:o
Glossy Charteuse. Looks screen printed.
I have never seen this before. Is it blank on the back side?
Yeah sorry, looks like it's engraved into the card.what is this? mind to share a larger image?
Really?
I'm hoping the reason that my Bleep delivery is taking so long is because it's overloaded with swag and needs a forklift to deliver.

Was your first track Come to Daddy?Coincidentally, this was the kind of music that I was listening to before Aphex Twin.
No. My first track was "On". Changed my life.
My 2nd was "Polygon Window" by The Dice Man, off of the Artificial Intelligence comp. That was back in 94. My buddy let me borrow both CDs and I never gave them back. The first Aphex album I actually bought was the Ventolin EP.

So far...
- Still waiting for my Bleep LP (hoping it has goodies)
- Got my cd from amoeba yesterday. It came with a dropcard. I took the dropcard in to the store today. No dice. All of the extras were given away at the pre-release listening party (2 days prior to official release) that only people who followed the STORE ... not RDJ, Warp or Bleep ... in social media. Kinda lame.
- Picked up my other LP pre-order at another indie record shop in LA (Origami... I was the first one to do so when they opened... They'd been sitting on these LPs for 3 days. I know because I saw them behind the counter). Zero goodies.

got my blerp vinylz today (Monday) in flyover nowheresville midwest usa
DAMN!!!
I'm not pre-ordering from Bleep again. I live in LOS FUCKING ANGELES and my package tracking says
- "Expected Delivery Day: Thursday, September 25, 2014"
That's what I get for pre-ordering the instant it goes live.
If it doesn't come with crazy swag, I'm gonna raise hell.
my LP didnt show up yet & i saw it in shops last friday but honestly, who cares, i bought it via bleep, DL the leaks, its not the end of the world. i'll spin the lp later, that's what the leaks are here for :-)
I thankfully have the official mp3s from bleep already (not that I found out from them about that either). That's not the issue. The issue is paying for this thing before the record stores even know about it and not getting my goods until everyone else on earth has a copy.

Oooh.
if my cd & lp from boomkat doesn't come w/ a dropcard, can i have one of yours? i'll pay for postage.Got my cd in the mail from Amoeba today (it came with a dropcard, but nothing else. Now I have 3 of those. Whoopee). Still no LP from Bleep, FFS :(
If I'm going to part with one, I may want to consider eBay. You could always offer me more than shipping ;)
Sorry dawg. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I also have really good ears and I don't see the "rough edges" you guys speak of. I just hear awesome music. Lucky us.

As an Aphex fan for like 20 years now... fuck i'm old, also I love this album!
Thanks, Rich.
You're not old, there's just more of you spread through time to have loved.
Same here! 20 years for me, this year!
No email from Bleep saying I could download but I just did. Wtf? Anyways. CIRCLONT14 is a highlight. Not getting much love on here.
Same here! Just downloaded my fuggin MP3s, finally!
I have to say, my highlights are "180db_ [130]", "PAPAT4 [155][pineal mix]" and "aisatsana [102]"
… probably because I'm old

Anyone in the USA get their hard copy yet?

I like 4 bit 9d as well, but at 1:24 there's this lovely melody, which is repeated at 1:31 but altered in exactly the way 90% of mediocre producers would do. It makes me cringe everytime. That has never happened with Aphex so far.
Funny, I noticed this as well. I think I can safely say it's the first time I disagree with a compositional choice of his.

The description of "180dB_" in both FACT and The Quietus track-by-track reviews makes me think it might be the Snowbombing track. It is around the right BPM too.
@6.57 here for those who aren't familiar:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzLEMYXPkcE
FACT:
05 ’180db_’
Bit of a swagger here: this one’s got the confidence to roll with nothing more than the main riff, which is fuzzy and buzzy, and four-to-the-floor kick drum for large sections. It’s the first blatant dancefloor track of the record – bit of a shame it’s ironically the shortest one too, as it feels like it could quite happily just jam on for an age, especially after the straight beat turns into a break not a million miles from the Baby Ford ‘Helston Flora Remix’.
The Quietus:
The bpms creep up again for '180db_', which starts out as clattering techno with warped hoover noises, before a breakbeat is dropped and it turns into a slab of gnarly, crusty techno that sounds like something from a Spiral Tribe DJ set from a 90s free party rave-up.
Great call. I think you're right.

I definitely heard that Snowbombing track at the listening party in LA.
100% CONFIRMED.
Actually, one of the highlights of the album, imo.

In A Year With 13 Moons (1978)
Whoa. Gut punch.
This movie was great, but difficult. I found myself getting pulled between the thoughts of "why are they talking so much?" and "this is a little hard to watch" (notably the SLAUGHTERHOUSE SCENE). I did find myself getting completely absorbed in some of the character's personal monologues.
Overall, the story was heart-shattering, but told in a very graceful and beautiful way without being emotionally manipulative. Fassbinder's cinematography (shot by himself) was quite remarkable, especially considering the size of the budget. The acting was incredible too.
I guess this story had a lot of "autobiographical" ties to true events in Fassbinder's life... or at least those of his loved ones. Watching it, it's very hard to comprehend that this could be someone's reality. Tragic in every sense of the word.

it's a commentary track, not a narration, and no, i wouldn't watch the film like that first. i already saw it once, hence my statement that it's the film of the year.
Yay!

the act of killing
late entry for best film of the year. gonna watch it with that herzog commentary on.
Hopefully you watch it without, first. That's a film you shouldn't fuck with.

American Hustle:

... unless that was one of the most memorable sequences (along with the meathook scene) from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Not exactly original.stupid. i hate when movies like this resort to the characters basically explaining their entire plan half way thru the movie to- you know- remind each other what their entire motive for whatever it is they're up to is. like "hey, remember when we planned on killing people? and you said you were down with it? yes, that was 2 weeks ago when i was telling you we really need x, y and z murdered and you said you were going to help. so do your part, and i will do mine of making sure r, p and s are decapitated just like i promised i would"
2 freshly sawed off limbs out of 10
All very true but I find it hard to truly hate on a film where a character being chased has no choice but to dramatically jump out a window. Goes a bit Home Alone at points too.
I saw this and thought it was just ok, but nothing more. The masks came off too early.

The Thermals - More Parts Per Million
This one is a favorite of mine. I assume a lot of you guys wouldn't like it because it's not idm.
It's arty punk rock with pop-y hooks and blistering, lo-fi 4-track aesthetics.
This album never gets at old to me. They never really topped it, or came anywhere close, in my opinion. They had an amazing drummer for this one. Part of the charm is the cymbals all distort into one constant "hiss". Also, the vocals are much more passionate and youthful than on the other releases I've heard.
Can't say enough good things about this one. At some point, I would like to re-record the entire album from scratch, playing all the instruments myself.

Found this in a treasure trove of cheap jungle 12"s today (along with some other gems).
This one takes the prize...
Monster drop @3:02
My copy is a white label with a Trace remix on the B side.
Amen, indeed.
APHEX TWIN - SYRO
in Aphex Twin

Not to feed a troll or anything, but this whole forum is literally exploding with detail about what watmmers like about the tracks just about every second of the day lately. It's pretty much impossible to avoid, as a matter of fact.
There are whole threads devoted to tracks. I posted the "awesome syro moments" thread and it's nothing but details about what watmmers like about the tracks.
Honestly, that quote is just nonsense.
