Warp just posted this on Facebook....

[Amen Lare]

 

 

 

it would be their twelfth EP, not eleventh

 

 

Anti EP

Garbage

Anvil Vapre

Envane

Cichlisuite

Peel Session

EP7

Peel Session 2

Gantz Graf

Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae

Move of Ten

 

Don't forget Basscad. And I don't know if the Peel Sessions technically count as EPs, so in that case it would be their 11th.

 

Seconded. Last was Move of TEN, after all.

 

edit: Fuck it, i bet it's tour announcement. But if you count Basscadet and Peel Session there would be no EP7

 

Peel Session would be 7th ep, if it counted.

[Hugh Mughnus]

cool! thanks

[oscillik]

Basscad has EP in the artwork, but it seems that Warp have retroactively removed reference to EP from the title on their own info pages

The blocks arent in an 11x11 pattern this time ...which is what supposedly helped 'crack the code' of Exai's cover:

edit

 

13034 is release date, 11234 is catalogue number

[oscillik]

if Basscad is excluded from being classed as an EP because it is literally just remixes of the track Basscadet, then what does that do to the legitimacy of Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae as an EP?

 

[Blir]

Awwwww, here goes!

Cool. Another 250 pages before release. Just what we needed.

[joseph]

I kind of doubt this is a new EP, after all we haven't even reached the official album release date.

[SR4]

its gonna be crap i think

[Vilwx]

Well I took that spreadsheet someone did for Exai and put in the cells from the image. I changed the max of the horizontal values to 512 since it's 10x11. Didn't get any interesting numbers though.

Exai is not even out yet. I doubt they're going to announce an EP already.

[Guest disoriental express]

What else would the image be for? A mouse pad?

 

This is a mindfuck. Well played Warp....well played....

RandySiko & Vilwx I dont get what did you do with those binary cells, what does that show?

[cear]

Whoever has the font that was used on all the rest of the packaging could probably check for himself http://www.fontshop.com/fonts/singles/fontfont/ff_threesix_21_pro_072_regular/.

 

 

This is just another typeface but I'm guessing this is pretty much how they did the cover, no special meaning, other than that it's just letters, as Rulohead32 pointed out already:

Twisted and skewed it around a bit to make it less legible..

[oscillik]

so yeah, I'm definitely wrong here -

 

Peel Session stuff isn't regarded as EPs, but for some reason their catalogue number says so.

 

lesson learned by me - don't take catalogue numbers as gospel.

 

 

I agree with others who say that the artwork isn't for an EP, since the actual album hasn't even been physically released yet.

[Vilwx]

RandySiko & Vilwx I dont get what did you do with those binary cells, what does that show?

 

Basically just seeing if the cells represent a binary number that could mean something. Binary system is base 2, so each digit is the previous digit doubled: 1 2 4 8 16...

 

This one adds up cells in a row, increasing from left to right. Then the numbers from each row are added together and we get 13034, or the release date 4 March 2013. I think it's intentional and it makes sense to look for something like that in the new pic.

In the spreadsheets RandySicko and I posted, there are four sums with values increasing in all directions: left-right, right-left, top-bottom, bottom-top. Here's an interactive link for the new one, so you can look at the equations:

RE: the EP catalog numbers:

 

It's possible they chose not to consider Cavity Job since they kinda shat on it, or Basscadet since it's a collection of remixes and not original music. Although they were all on the EP compilation, so maybe they'ce changed their minds since EP7.

[AJW]

interesting.

 

nevermind all this useless banter of whether this or that is officially an ep or not.

 

but the fact that this new image has been mysteriously posted. My eyebrows were raised for a minute there.

[Joyrex]

The Facebook thing has nothing to do with an EP...

[Vilwx]

Ah, must be a new LP then

Source?! lol

 

I heard through the grapevine it's going to be the design of a new autechre ironing board so you might be right.

[Joyrex]

Wrongo!

[Candiru]

I was hoping for an EP with a Bohemian Rhapsody cover, but whatever, man. It seemed reasonable.
