XI year old Autechre Album Released: Exai (WARP234)

[Soloman Tump]

I'll do what I do with most of my stickers—put them up on the magnetic board behind my monitor at work. That way I don't have to peel the backing off.

 

Yeah interestingly got the vinyl and stickers, but not the CD. Would have thought they would have been shipped together....

Why did you order both the vinyl and CD? It just seems a bit puzzling, since you get a lossless digital download with the physical vinyl version, which is obviously superior to the CD version, in terms of packaging..

 

For completeness sake... I have everything on CD, but not everything on vinyl.

For what it's worth, I did exactly the same for exactly the same reasons.

 

Plus I really like CD packaging (when it's board). Small and cute and easier to peruse whilst you are listening to the music.

urggh why dont i have my CD if some people have received the vinyl

[Soloman Tump]

 

 

Interestingly, the images on each vinyl are different to the master image. I originally thought that they could be pieced together to form the main Exai cover but they do not. They also have a third colour of squares just like the stickers. Maybe form a completed new image? Can't decide if all four go together, and if so, which side (as each side is different) and which way round?

 

The plot thickens...

[oscillik]

either way, I got my vinyl today, and it's a beautiful package.

 

thanks Autechre, tDR, and Warp for bringing a beautifully packaged collection of awesome tracks to my record collection in a very presentable manner

[modey]

Hmm, what if you rotate them so the white border on each is on the outside, forming a square?

tried that, the patterns seem quite disconnected.

 

one thing i have noticed though is that it smells lush!

so we've got lush sounds, sights, feels (assuming the Cairn Eco Kraft stock with clear foil block to front slipcase feels like heaven), and now SMELLS???

 

 

someone lick it.

[Guest RadarJammer]

have autechre ever encoded secret meanings or puzzles into their music or artwork? i seriously doubt they would do anything that pretentious and silly

[Guest jasondonervan]

 

Postie just dropped it off. No vinyl yet, although I think that's coming through Parcelforce instead.

[Guest jasondonervan]

And for the purposes of completeness (although not sure why one has details and the other doesn't?)

 

[Soloman Tump]

got my CD today, with another pair of stickers! What to do with them...

[Stock]

Expected the CD-packaging to be larger, but didn't thought the stickers would be that big !

CDs arrived a few tracks ago, meh. Will listen to the radio show this evening and tomorrow evening, hope I'll like them.

Did your copy arrive yet?!

[Guest Torchiest]

If anybody still hasn't either gotten a copy or ordered one, you might be interested to know that Amazon is selling the CDX2 set for $9.99 right now. I pre-ordered and just saw my purchase price had dropped five bucks.

Nope, but if people in the UK are getting theirs already mine should be on the way
