It would have fit on the CD easily, maybe technical limitations for the vinyl tracklist + personal preference for aisatsana? I don't know, just guessing obviously.I assumed it meant he didnt finish it in time due to technical & personal reasons? Anyhow its lovely so nice to hear it in the end!

Yeah suprised theres not more hype for this. Really does feel like a new proper (and really goood!) Afx album now

Sheet.. didnt realise that was free! Is anything else free? The new lisbon acid impiled it was but doesnt seem to be when I click on it?

about 20 unheard new tracks, just look for em yourself, if you click tracks it has "new" next 2 emCCAI2 also has a new track, don't miss that one thanks Ooze;;; but, some of the "new" tracks are from SC dump, so they are not new without the sc dump, korg tunings or field day lp i still count about 20 new trxxx Think its getting on for 30 excluding dump tracks.. but yeah you can see them and stream them to check for your self! ;)

No you're not alone. It's just that when horses smell blood and the dust gets kicked up, you have to get out of the way. RDJ is following in the great British tradition started by Led Zeppelin whereby you get folks to buy your albums 2,3,4,n times with the addition of new content each time. You could probably find 7-10 instances of "Black Dog" in my parents' house from my dad being a completist. It happened with Analord once already and dollars to donuts, it's about to go down again. Once I saw my basket going north of $100, I backed out until I could be sure that I would indeed "cherish" everything. Someone clocked over $220 also? That's good gear money. You could just get a Monologue at that point but there is a posh streak here in Aphex fandom that I have noticed lately. It's no thing for them to drop that kind of cash. I decided to put my $100-200 towards a REV2 and wait and see what tracks emerge that I truly couldn't live without. I know the Sound Cloud versions are different and "not so good for the ears" with the nulls and all but I'm OK with that. Alright, ignore and resume blood lust The new tracks are free to stream, so you can hear them all. You don't have to re-buy the albums if you just want to buy the tracks. You can buy the extras you like and not buy those you don't. Hard to complain when you can stream everthing for free (and after all the soundcloud free stuff!) but I do get it a bit as want to get everthing but costs do then rack up! Be nice to have a "all new stuff" bundle for reasonable price Though am loving the bits ive bought and enjoying streaming the rest. Think I will get ICBYD next.. always been my fav afx album and its just got even better!! Its the albums with like one extra track (but the possibilty of more) that are giving me a headache! But its a lovely problem to have so big up to the ginger one X

Thanks for sharing the clarification Davie. Loving the new Tuss tracks! Not had chance to digest much else yet And also in a quandary about best buying strategy.. Bought field day and Rushup Edge but not sure how to go about the rest to get maximum benefit!

Yeah some really good tracks from both sides in that war, For me think Dot slightly coming out on top.

agreed my interpretation of that is that anyone buying the aphex store releases will get any tracks added to those releases in the future. i don't necessarily expect regular bleep releases to get updated (even though they should) but we'll see Yeah thats what I took it to mean.. but hopefuly not! Will wait and see

Sweet.. site just worked ok for me to grab Tuss and Field day. Will grab the other new bits and bobs as single tracks me thinks

Elseq dropped with no real hype or notice.. I think its kind of the point of the bleep stores. So bleep store could still mean new "album"

Yeah easy one of the best of grime albums ever and one of my fav albums of any genre this year. Wiley really is the godfather, one of the most important british artists of recent times. https://youtu.be/gcroTw04i-w

That Murlo track is fire... also it's very much grime! ;)

Niiice!! Only had quick 1st listen but good stuff.. also interested when this was made very afx 90's vibe but also different a new sounding

I like it.. not blown away by it but good stuff from him yet again and think it may be a grower Also I think he come across as quite funny.. yeah its pretentious but he mostly sounds like he is taking the piss to me.

Yeah loving this.. even better than Stage 1 well interested to see where this ends up by the later parts.. guessing it's going to get pretty dark and fucked up

Yay! Downloading now Also says he is working on follow up to Sadly the Future is no longer what it was was! Nearly messed my self with exictment when I read that!!

Yeah am late to this album but its fucking awesome, and as much as I loved V Snares album that Statement may well be true!

Nice recording, Very good work!:) Having said that though this set is crying out for a soundboard. Really hope they get a recording they are happy with. Think the chances are good they will but trying not to get my hopes up too much incase they don't!

This is so good.. think I may even prefer it to Severant but time will tell. Think he does Rolly porter stylee better than Rolly Porter on the 2nd half!

Only had one listen but sounded immense was a little bit disappointed by his last ep it had the quality sound design but felt like it was missing something.. this album very much has that something back! So much quality music out the last couple of weeks :)

http://thequietus.com/articles/20970-leyland-james-kirby-interview-the-caretaker :'( Good interview, really interested to hear the later stages when they come out and see how it will all tie together. Also some of the other stuff he is working on sound like they are going to be very interesting, so dont think we need to be to sad about the death of The Caretaker..

Yes just seen the email for this very excited! Mr Kirby is a legend

The new Trim album is good shit

I would say I don't give my final opinion till I've listened in a range of ways.. in fact I never give my final opinion on music am always open to my thoughts and feeling towards stuff changing But like if I was some critic reviewer guy I would listen to it in the largest range of ways possible before writing up my review..
