  1. Anecdotally seeing a few people being hit by customs charges in the US. Pretty rough considering the high price in the first place. Yes - I got dinged ~$56 CAD via Aramex (the broker handling the Ochre/DPD shipment upon its entry into Canada). So to anyone in Canada (and USA as well), heads up that it is likely there will be some hefty brokerage and duty to pay unfortunately if you chose the Ochre (and in the case of Aramex; you pay your duty in advance, online, via Credit Card only) method rather than FedEx (though I'm assuming FedEx is equally as hefty a fee).
  2. They are not gone. I had one in my basket and it was still present when the Aphex Twin bleepstore briefly reconnected. I doubt many people have been able to get beyond adding it to their basket at this point. It also appears as if it will be distributed elsewhere outside of Bleep (i.e. Norman Records).
  3. I feel this way about nineFly as well [it is my favourite piece from Session 3]. The synesthesia that it provokes within me is a warm, dense space with no ambient light at all, filled with a mass of molten glass/metal amalgam that is both becoming more liquid and more solid as it forms and deforms, flowing with the rhythm. There is also a very refractive quality to it; a gravitational lensing of sorts - bright white and red/orange/amber light being bent into very sharp points via the morphing material, and diffuse forms as well, but never becoming completely nebulous. It smells and tastes very glassy and metallic as well, and a bit sugary. Overall it is very pleasing - as have all the other tracks been. There are textures here that I have never heard anywhere else before, and combinations of textures that feel very uncanny and yet physically very alien and implausible.
  4. I am waiting until the end of the month myself. I don’t want to assume that this is definitely the process that Warp are going forward with, but for a project of this scale (12 LPs as one box-set or four separate 3xLP sets) it would be a wise decision to take pre-orders first in order to better determine how many copies should be pressed, and then go forward with the pressing of the records/CDs and the manufacturing of the sleeves/packaging. I wouldn’t build up too much FOMO, as I am sure that all who want it will be able to secure a copy.

  7. Simmons Clap Trap ooh yeah, spot on! This clap caught my attention too. I was thinking it sounds like Elektron Analog Rytm clap? With lfo filter sweep or something. Also some kinda rimshot flam/fill at 1;58 lurking low in the 2x202 mix? Elektron AR Clap demo at 12:25. All percussion throughout the release sounds like TR9090 (909 clone) - very nice Cirklon sequencing techniques used to make it more alien (extreme flam and so on). Don't think it's RYTM as within the credits it is mentioned that the version of his studio used to create these pieces was pre-Syro, and RYTM is a much more recent bit of kit.
  8. Would be dope. What the unit sounds like:

  10. The flyer contains a few similarities to the written contents of the actual Cheetah MS6 Operator's Manual.
  11. Fade in to a macro of an active clothing dryer vent outdoors. Lint at the lip of the vent is violently fluttering in the warm breeze generated from within the dryer. An arduously slow zoom-out reveals an approaching feral cat. For one reason or another the cat decides it is a good idea to lick the swiftly fluttering chunk of lint and a large portion of it gets stuck on the cat’s tongue. The rest of the film consists of the cat tediously attempting to remove the lint from its tongue. It is not revealed whether the cat succeeds in this or not. At some points the lint ends up on the cat’s back. It tries to get rid of it but the lint once again finds itself on the cat’s tongue and it continues to lick with a slight increase in the bluster and chaos of its licking pace. This segment occurs with tense sound effects and music which starts with great immediacy and stops just as suddenly and awkwardly as it began. The films ends in an instant after nine aggravating hours with no fades or credits. It is entitled “Nine Hours, Nine Lives”. The cat is actually two costumed actors and the dryer vent is the size of a garage door. The head is played - and the tongue puppeteered, with an astringent attitude of haste - by Meryl Streep, and the hind quarters is Danny DeVito, wearing cheap fur coat and a tail with a small bell on the tip. He’s also eating a sandwich during the whole nine hours. The sandwich happens to be cut into nine, roughly cubic, slices. He takes small bites with his little finger extended. The sandwich is cucumber.
