Am I the only one who has discovered this...? Out new this week is a digital-only companion EP for Quaristice. This EP is only available in Japan's i tunes store (at the bottom of the home page of the i tunes browser there is a drop down menu to select stores from different countries). Here are the track details with track lengths... 1. IO (mons) (7:40) 2. 90101-51-4 (7:40) 3. Blyz Castl (5:36) I haven't downloaded any of these tracks yet, I've only listened to the 30 second samples. "IO (mons)" sounds like it might be the exact same version that appears on the limited edition Quaristice, although it's running time is about 12 seconds shorter. "90101-51-4" is a remix of Quaristice's "90101-51-1", but sounds closer to "90101-61-01" from the limited edition. Confused? At 7:40, it's the longest version yet. "Blyz Castl", as you can guess, is a twist on "Bnc Castl" from the standard Quaristice release. From the sample at the store it sounds NOTHING like the original! Not bad for my first post, dontcha think? |

|
yeah! good work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyone who buys this is stupid |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
thanks, rad smiles. I tried purchasing the tracks using my iTunes account, but it keeps bumping me back to the US store. Does any Xltronic readers have an iTunes Japan account? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, you can't download it unless you have a Japanese account. Apple = Bastards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's definitely elements from Theswere in Blyz Castl... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not Apple's fault, they don't decide what policies the record companies should have... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and there i was, coming into this thread expecting a 4 track EP of brand new material, along of the lines of Envane or EP7. bollocks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, digital releases available only in certain countries... that'll work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surely it would be up on Bleep then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry for everyone expecting something more exciting, BUT my topic title was accurate and truthful. At least two of the three tracks are new from my guess. So what's the deal with Japan getting all the exclusive extras anyway? First, they get the bonus track on their standard Quaristice (which, interestingly, is not available at the Japanese iTunes), and now this EP. I wish this was commercially available to everyone around the world. |

Marketing BS like always, for thousands of years, there have been european only cds/singles and jap xtra tracks, not to mention other countries Th3ere are even Canadian singles, for the northerners But why is really that way, ive never understood, even in my high school years, never really got it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
don't hold yer breath, futureimage. Bleep has still yet to put "nu-Nr6d" (the bonus track on the standard Quaristice) up on the site. Beatink Records, which jointly releases AE's music in Japan with Warp, must have some exclusive contract to acquire these tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
please give me the link for previews |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good point... Any reason why out of all countries, JAPAN is the one notorious for expensive music imports, bonus tracks, etc. etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so who is here from Japan? They should buy it. Burn and re-rip to remove DRM & convert, and then share it w all of us. If it gets released domestically at some point, then i will gladly pay the $3-5 for the EP. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
while im on that is there a better way to convert protected itunes files to other formats besides burning and reimporting? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A little disappointed there isn't more....But I contacted a Japanese person and asked him to hook me up. All new I-tunes stuff is DRM free I believe. In America at least. Hope it is the same in Japan. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i get releases that are both ways. if it says itunes plus, no DRM, if it doesn't, pain in the ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I'd gladly pay for it too, but I'm scouring Soulseek at the mo cos there's no other way. Grr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you have iTunes, wb41? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
downloading right now |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

With the inclusion of the new "Bnc Castl" on this EP, and another version of "90101-51-1" you'd think there were more material from Autechre from the Quaristice sessions to make a proper companion EP. It'd be cool if the cover for this EP had the same typography design as the LP, but perhaps a green or red bkgd. Ah, I'm just dreaming now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
give us your review after you've given it a spin, wb41 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh autechre are so gay |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, the first track is from special edition-as we all know. the second track is a mash up from album and the special version- quiet intresting and the third is something new - i'm not sure about that huge background reverb- is it from theswere or what it is. the 2008 tour is more intresting to me, should I say better of any steril Quaristice album tracks. after hearing this previews my focus will stay on unborn soundboard release. But definiately this is today's headline news! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
did you manage to download the tracks wb41 ? or you've just heard the previews ? If you managed to get the tracks, please share them with us man ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry man, just the previews. but blyz castl - as keyword is locked in mine search engines on high priority:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
same here ;) I've got a japanese friend living in tokyo, I'm sending her a message asking her to download it... hopefully she gets it soon... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
from the preview "Blyz Castl" sounds like Geography-era Front 242 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rapidshare or megaupload this shit. Apple are cunters for restricting the release like that and deserve to be ripped off by as many as possible. I prefer to buy CD's than pay for lossy digital media anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just thought of an idea. Release an album under the name of a popular artist only have each letter a weird character from another language that only appears like the english letters of that artist's name to avoid copyright infringement. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not try to avoid tricking people and make something that you want to share. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well that's an okay idea too I guess... but it lacks wholesome sociopathology. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
proxy that shiznit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suppose. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't fucking sit through IO or IO (mons), absolutely the worst track on the album... and I like the album, and yet everyone seems to like IO or IO (mons), I must be fucking deaf and fucking stupid. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, the repeat of IO (mons) is the most disappointing part of the EP. Wasn't there an alternate "Simmm" or "WNSN" they could've used instead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blyz castl is all machinedrum presets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because Simmm and WNSN are good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"because Simmm and WNSN are good?" I mentioned those two tracks above because they are among the ones without an alt version yet. I love Simmm, and WNSN is ok. Both are a lot better than 90101-51-1 or bnc Castl, which are two of my least faves on the standard Quaristice. Actually, an extended "fwze" might be nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm listening to IO (mons) right now. Even though I hated IO at first, now I just can't get enough of it. I had my friend listen to a little bit of the song and he said "I'm sorry Evan, but thats just plain scary". anyway, Blyz Castl does sound to be pretty amazing. I would love it if iTunes made it so that you could easily switch stores. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what I was trying to say is that there probably aren't as many versions of tracks like Simmm because they are more 'complete' or 'better' tracks than the others? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm, that might be true, Exaph. Perhaps the tracks without alt versions were ones they nailed down without having to do much messing about. It seems those happen to be some of my faves on the standard Quaristice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can someone put it on rapidshare please |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't expect blyz to sound that way, it sounds nothing like bnc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didnt either! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Anyone willing to share this yet? |
