    Got my voucher, yet I'm stuck at work. Fuck. In other news, massive thanks to Joyrex for really coming through and exceeding my expectations at least about how this would be handled. 1000 WATMM points to you good sir

    The only people that would be able to leak it are joyrex, grant or richard, and the chosen guy ripping the record. You really think any of them are gonna leak it? why don't you just shut the fuck up and let the new kid make himself look like a twat, eh? Next time I will haha

    Had two of the best burgers I've ever had a couple weeks ago at the Boston Burger Co in, you guessed it, Boston, MA. The Mac Attack on the left was covered in mac n cheese in bacon, and the Killer Bee on the left had a stack of four beer battered onion rings, honey bbq sauce, and also bacon. They were so good. Worth the two hour drive. Definitely going back. The only pic I have is an Instagram one http://instagram.com/p/m-4vFKSSyG/

    Supporting the cause and not taking up the bandwidth for a digital download. Not seeing the problem here

    but why? why do you even need a "label"? you don't any more.... used to be that the label would sort out the production, marketing, PR and distribution of the record, but you don't need a label to do that any more. all you need to do is supply some source material and (if you have a big enough following) the fan base will do the rest - from production of a physical release (if that's what people want) to artwork and marketing via social media. what do labels actually do really? where do they add value? these are rhetorical questions btw, just trying to get people thinking about this concept... i personally believe a label is pretty much exactly what it says on the tin - a label for music; a brand, a logo, an image etc. maybe that's not as important as it used to be...or maybe it should never have been important in the first place - after all it should be the actual sound you listen to that creates the image/brand/label etc... i dunno, not saying i'm right, but think it throws up some interesting questions about the whole industry and the traditional model. I agree with 2WVLabels are becoming a thing of the past. With things like bandcamp and soundcloud being used rapidly to self-release music, there's no need for labels anymore. Going it alone can be difficult though unless you write very well produced music that has a large fanbase already behind it that is constantly looking for new musicians within that style of music. I think the internet is vastly becoming a means to bolster the individual and their creativity. Every now and then I come across some soundcloud pages of some really obscure musicians yet somehow they receive thousands of plays of their work. It seems to me that playing live will be the real money-maker for bands/musicians in the future. Very valid points and actually I just remembered how the My Bloody Valentine album came out last year without the help of a label and that seemed to work pretty well. At least if the hype is there. I guess I just don't see Kickstarter as the game changer for music releases. It makes sense in this case, crowd sourcing to purchase a very expensive, very rare test pressing

    I honestly don't really think this a 'game changer' as far as music distribution goes. It's an interesting one-off for a very rare 20 year old unreleased album. But if a new Aphex Twin record came out soon, i think it would be released just like anything else on Rephlex or Warp or whatever

    Much like everyone else, been listening to Caustic Window a lot recently. Forgot how much I love Cordialatron

    There seems to be a lot of doubt in that reddit thread as to the validity of the record. Even though Joyrex has been in contact with Grant and subsequently RDJ who have confirmed it and authorized it's distribution

    Examples pls. I'm curious

    Bashing the 'ripping' technique isn't really being constructive. Suggest an actual transfer house or find something better and post that
  18. YELLOW
    Not to be Debbie Downer but just because it's trending to make several hundred grand, doesn't mean it's going to. I think interest will definitely start to wane soon

    This went so much faster than I imagined

    Pledged! Good work JR! Also loving the gifs everybody
  21. YELLOW
    Considering the sound of SAW 85-92, I think what we come up with for ripping this record will be great

    Obviously the stuff about donating money raised from ebay to a cause, the promise of also giving some of that money to backers fall foul of the second item. And the reselling items not produced by the project creator is another potential grey area. Is there a backup idea if the Kickstarter application is denied? Already been approved by them. #readthread

    Just finished my first listen, really bloody good. So many changes and variations throughout. I really love it
  24. YELLOW
    Yup. Yuop

    So this is completely random, but I'm watching The Office (US version) the other day and in one episode, season 8 episode 12 I believe, all the cast is at a pool party and one guy, Gabe, is wearing a sweater and it is a dead ringer for the Exai artwork. And this was before it came out I'm at work now and can't find a pic, hoping someone else can or take a screenshot or something. It's up there with the Quaristice mug
