APHEX TWIN - SYRO

[petina]

why is the limited edition $400? looking at the info page it just seems to come with a booklet or something? i don't get it

[A Reggae Lee Bowyer]

I ordered the vinyl. I thought that was quite reasonably priced. I paid 3x that for Radiohead's In Rainbows vinyl set.

[BCM]

ordered the fuck out of the vinyl

[ieatacid]

I don't even own a record player and I pre-ordered that shit. Big baby jesus, I can't wait.

It's the hand printed Syrobonkus intaglio print that's making it limited.

[dr lopez]

it comes with a high quality art print -- that's what intaglio blah blah fancy paper blah blah means

Cover says something about a listening party in Paris? There is also a bit about CDs being sent out for UK radio promotion? We will hear previews, I magine.

big lol if it's a high quality print of the cover.

How much with shipping did it end up being for those who preordered the vinyl in the US?

[Guest couch]

On the limited edition one:

 

"300 × 300mm Intaglio print from a metalwork mother plate, hand printed on 280gsm Somerset Velvet Radiant White, presented in casebound print folio."

WTF does this even mean. Is it just a bunch of jibberish to make it seem like that $400 is getting you something unique?

Intaglio is the process of screenprinting something so that the ink has a distinct relief against the paper. Like fresh US money, where you can feel the print.

 

that's what it means.

Nah I mean the total cost with shipping included

[ieatacid]

I bet we'll have an actual track to listen to before the album comes out. I bet within the next 7 days we'll hear something off of it.

[Kavinsky]

poor marketing boys at Warp didnt have really a choice i guess but well its going to be sold out anyway

[ferro4prez]

Who is this sorcerer who accurately predicted the tracks in 2011???

[jhonny]

Great spot that

Come on you cunt!

[BaggerMcGuirk]

Ok, I finally believe this is really real. Adding aka the manchester track' is Aphex's way of giving WATMM the double guns, isn't it?
