Not entirely confident about using pages translated from Japanese! amazon japan translates to english too. it's just like using any other amazon, pretty much. not daunting in the slightest. just dry run it first. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with the tapes… or will be happy with the tapes. I almost feel like those are more special than the LP box, anyway. Plus, I am broke atm, so the price point on the tapes is much nicer.

I think.... yes, i ordered and cancelled after the realisation of customs taxes, completely pissed off to be honest and have to say i am done with warp, got the whole tshirt and pink release for squarepusher latest a while back and that also left a bad feeling so didn't bother with the afx one. The SAW 2 boxset looks well cool but a piss take for EU folks and quite disrespectful. I have well over 100 warp pressings and nearly everything of Aphex, warp are mugging people off and have lost their soul! Maybe i am just getting old ha 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been so many afx releases recently with a handful of ok tracks plus something basically just used as filler that I really grew tired of and stopped caring. It feels like a never ending money machine that always leaves you back with the feeling of having spent way too much on something that feels half exciting Edited Thursday at 01:59 PM by o00o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killabyte11 Posted yesterday at 03:08 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:08 AM It's a shame the vinyl doesn't come in a gatefold sleeve. I thought it was at first glance but then realized what I thought was a gatefold is the included poster. I guess I'll keep my inferior 1972 pressing if only for the sleeve. I still prefer the original artwork. Something about the white background offset with the organic logo gave the whole thing a kind of spiritual quality.

Friendly Stranger Posted yesterday at 03:26 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:26 AM I was thinking today how thrilled I am to finally have locked this album down on vinyl. Standard version but it’s more than enough to make me happy. serious question on cassettes - are people buying these to collect, or to use/listen to? I’m missing the boat on the tape renaissance for sure, just trying to understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m missing the boat on the tape renaissance for sure, just trying to understand it. I missed out on the cassette but not sure I would have bought in anyway. While I do love cassette and I have a fairly high end deck, the problem with the majority of commercially released albums is that they're released on low quality tape to cut costs. Cassette is the only medium where higher quality blank tapes are available compared to most commercially released cassette albums. For me the beauty of cassette is the ability to make your own recordings. Take a high quality tape, in a good deck, set the levels to your liking and make a nice mixtape. Also, I personally think the original cassette packaging looks of a far higher quality...which can be seen by flipping through the images here. https://www.discogs.com/release/864752-Aphex-Twin-Selected-Ambient-Works-Volume-II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
