Stock Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 This picture is giving me crazy expectations of a deluxe edition / SAW 2.5 or version 2 as other implied. I also guess a regular repress would have been released earlier this year to coincide with the album's 30th anniversary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didnt have anything prepared in march- even the photo they posted then looks very much like a rush edit. Its literally the photo from discogs edited onto the record; but what makes me hopeful is the fact Artificial Intelligences reissue also did not coincide with the release date. Theres still a chance !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleMoustache Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 I, too, am hoping for an extended reissue here. There’s plenty of tracks from the Bleep Store version, the SoundCloud dump, etc that could fit neatly into an expanded version. Looking to replace my 1972 version with a Warp version.

I think it's probably just similar, but I had a thought The original was an etched leather bag... from what Richard said on Soundcloud. This recent graphic is completely new. I wonder if it's an photograph or 3D render. Wonder how it fits into this new re-release. I'm also wondering what, if any, new merch will be offered. hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxien Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 (edited) ^info coming from some random user on an Aphex Twin discord (dear god the smell of that place must be powerful...) vaguely comparing the images to the SAW II original artwork, it seems to line up, just by eye. from Blue Calx on, the portions of circles seem to basically line up with known track times. would be a bit annoying to fake the image is all i'm saying. does look like a mock up you'd see on Bleep or something before they've got legit produced copies track lengths of the last three would probably put Stone In Focus 2nd to last, track 26 (overall obv, track 7 on CD3) Edited June 17 by auxien 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentvision Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Correct, previous images and speculated time came from Discord and reddit chatter. Seeing other random mentions as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the one that takes up half the pie chart? Also aligns with the image previously posted to reddit (see attatched.) Track 26 is probably th1 [evnslwer] Track 27 is unknown as of right now (I think) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattthegoone Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Yes presumably 19 will be stone in focus and 26 th1 evnslower as per the digital reissue from his website, 27 red calx slo or just fall asleep would be nice, the pie doesn't look big enough for just fall asleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
