yea, but why so early for japan?

classic.

the new fakes better be all ambient now... someone better ask booth about his thoughts on

lol. i dont think its going to be beatless. no way. especially with that number of tracks.

That sounds like good news

just out of curiosity, what makes people think bleep is putting these up 7 weeks before the release date?

So you guys are saying they will be on bleep tomorrow?

What year is it in austrailia? not sure if this is a serious response, but if it is, I meant the eternal and farm were shipped here one or two weeks prior to their official release. same happened with rather ripped in 2006 yea, it was just a joke (i guess a bad one) because those 2 bands are from before my high school years, which seems like such a long time ago. Nothing unusual about artists putting extra tracks on their albums for the Japanese release. Period. From what I recall reading somewhere, it's cheaper to import music CDs than it is to buy them in-store in Japan. So artists throw in bonuses for Japan. Without the bonus tracks, the Japanese would just import them and businesses could go under, leading to much weaker sales in the country. yes, this is a tireless topic. my point was that it was being released almost 3 weeks before the ones we all pre-ordered

What year is it in austrailia?

So what you're telling me is that if I didn't blindly preorder this from their own label I could have had it sooner with more music?

are guys arguing about 1's and 0's? there are ten 1's and ten 0's all in a 1 foot square box. will they all be happier in a 2-foot square box?

this is still 2 months from release. in reality, it does seem relatively early to release a sampler, even if people like us are chomping at the bit. plus those samplers tell basically nothing anyway. i remember being really disappointed by the totems flare samplers and blown away by the album. march will be here before you know it.

so true. best is just chopped vocals, which has been done a million times, but amon tobin's verbal is just the shit.

i don't think i would like to hear either of those... all autechre albums are hip-hop albums, lol People always seem to throw around the guest-mc idea, which sounds great in principle, but has it ever been properly executed? I look at an album like dabrye's 2/3 and think ugh, what a mess. shit, even hiphop producer albums built around guest mcs suck 9 times out of 10. That said, a whole album in the style of Adverse Camber would be awesome yea, dabrye failed miserably with that as did prefuse imo. isnt flylo trying that too? sigh. no mc's for ae please. just some beats, some ambience and some robot farts. thanks

sometimes i find it awesome and other times, its so grating, its like come on already. another version of this exact thing? wtf

real life lol

Wait till it's released!

true. although if i were ae, all the promos i sent out would all be totally different and totally fake, creating mass hysteria. then the real thing would release on the original release date with out anyone ever having heard it.

they are afraid to leak it, if they get found out by WARP, WARP may take them off the promo list. it's similar to why reporters didn't speak that badly about George W Bush for such a long time, they didnt want to loose exclusive access to interviews with his staff, etc i mean where is all the written promo. dont those people get it to promote it? write about it? etc

well isn't it rather obvious why they do that? it's to get the album hyped up to the max so more people will eventually buy it i know. im just being selfish.

yea, thats how all releases should be. that would eliminate a lot of pirating no? so many times when i get an early leak, im sick of it by the time it comes out also, if all these people have promos, wheres all the promo for it?

why do bands still announce albums months before they come out anymore? they should have just announced that oversteps is now available on bleep and physical products ship in march. edit: a twitterer should just be called a twit

wow, so a whole lot of nothing happened yesterday huh? this thread is just like an autechre track itself. it has a repeating pattern that mutates and morphs slowly. im just going to assume the hi hats are represented by because there are a whole lot of them...

lol. i know exactly what you are talking about. you have been on that for almost 5 years now!! haha

hopefully that first jam is a track
