Out of curiosity to those listening now, how is the sound/audio quality?
-
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
-
I'm taking this silence as good news. JR must be hard at work

Or Peek 1 through 824545200

why don't you just shut the fuck up and let the new kid make himself look like a twat, eh?
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?Of course this will be leaked, most probably before most of us receive their downloading link by e-mail or very shortly after.
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

why are there 8 blokes who gave LESS than $16?? Like why/>
Supporting the cause and not taking up the bandwidth for a digital download. Not seeing the problem here

I agree with 2WVI 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
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.
Labels 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

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

You guys do realise that the more money we give Richard for not releasing new music, the less likely he is to release new music? Let this henceforth be known as Richard's Law, expressed as:
!$ xN != $(nR)
Also known as (equation)
Sorry

Cue 'We Are The Champions'
At this point I have three facilities I am considering (two recommended by Grant - guys who were originally part of the "Porky Prime Cuts" crew, and the outfit x_y politics recommended - it's looking likely we'll end up using the x_y politics recommended one (Grant is impressed by his equipment/setup).so who is this doing the transfer?

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
-
Jesus, lot of reddit folks and others are already bitching and derp derping about the whole thing. Man, I hate being in the know about a subject and then watching the public self-congratulate their loud ignorance regarding the said subject at hand.
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
-
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
-
Considering the sound of SAW 85-92, I think what we come up with for ripping this record will be great
-
Apologies if this has already been asked on this thread or somewhere deep in the other but it's not answered by the FAQ. What happens if the kickstarter isn't accepted by kickstarter?
Their guidelines say:
-
Kickstarter cannot be used to raise money for causes, whether it's the Red Cross or a scholarship, or for "fund my life" projects, like tuition or bills.
-
Creators cannot offer equity or financial incentives (ownership, share of profits, repayment/loans, cash-value equivalents, etc).
-
Projects cannot resell items or offer rewards not produced by the project or its creator.
-
Creators cannot promise to donate a portion of funds raised or future revenue to a cause.
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
