NorthernFusion Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 The policy makers at warp have been doing some creative stuff for the release of this album. Change from their previous policy to allow people who pre-ordered to dl the version they wanted. The time the dl-s are released (was earlier in other cases, right?). Pricing of various digital versions. It feels a bit, how shall I put it, opportunistic. Even though you know there were some practical issues behind it (amount of traffic on their servers). (They'd be better off to implement some kind of torrent solution for big releases,i think.) But the money aspect is a bit too much "we need to cash!", imo. Norman records for president! Norman Records 4eva. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triachus Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So the MP3s are finally available here... Here's what the mail says about the CD Expected shipping times: UK 2-7 days EU up to 14 days Oh come on! Belgium lies right across the UK! Shouldn't take that long I tell ya! And I promised myself to hold out on listening to the album until I get the CD... *suddenly gets transported to Syria* Oh shit. did you know it's in Belgian stores already since yesterday? bums me out BIG time. but at least the download's available from Bleep. First good listen starts... NOW Yeah fuck it. I'm gonna listen to it now as well. I feel stupid for holding out so long. Kinda pointless, really.

Alzado Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 and that's why I have a guilt free download of the 24bit version not sourced from Bleep. wait until I get home and post their response to my email... No guilt necessary. You have the right to create those files yourself. Somebody else just did the work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Sourced my 24-bit files elsewhere as well and have given this album some more proper plays and it's great, undeniably BoC but have evolved their sound. Can't wait to hear it on vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 looks like Bleep have capitulated and given physical preorder customers FLAC and 16bit WAV downloads. too bad they couldn't have done this in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this at 9am this morning, I have no idea if the lossless files were available at this time, I picked this up on my phone before work. No comment from them about my unhappiness regarding the release and the lack of vinyl that should have arrived here yesterday. Hi there, The download is now available to access from your Bleep account. If you log in and go to http://bleep.com/account/music you can download Best wishes Bleep Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they've listened, but really, it shouldn't have taken so many complaints to force their hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delet... Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So is this a one off customer service type resolution, or is everybody getting this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 So is this a one off customer service type resolution, or is everybody getting this? This appears to be a one off, as the product page still says that you only get MP3 download with your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 They caved in to the nagging bitches from watmm!? This wont help getting us any less annoying than we already are. O well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscillik Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 They caved in to the nagging bitches from watmm!? This wont help getting us any less annoying than we already are. O well... is there a reason why you're disavowing the fact that many purchases expected the already established practice of giving pre-order customers the full range of downloads?

Hugh Mughnus Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I don't know anything about formats... Would it be the same to just rip your CD or vinyl to flac vs you downloading their flac? IE are they sourcing it differently than you would when ripping in iTunes or whatever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goDel Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Well, I was assuming they had some thought processes behind their decision to do it different this time. By caving in like this, it's like they're saying "herp derp" at WARP headquarters. I was expecting a tougher fight, to say the least. Next thing you know, they cave in to our petition!!! :O ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the flac / WAV has the same quality as the normal cd release So I guess I'm confused why anyone would be disappointed that flac/wav aren't available if we can rip it to flac/wav off our disc. But it looks like they're available to most people anyway so problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some people only bought the vinyl, and were expecting the same download formats they got when they ordered the last 3 Autechre albums.

Didn't think of that (sorry didn't read the whole thread). I'm thankful my turntable can rip via usb :) (pro-ject debut 3 carbon usb) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
