right, we all know warp released the promos this spring  (that's what labels do) and we know they're the ones who  delayed it (that's what labels do). if the video was  finished in november, and the music recorded during the  confield session(s), and the "re-edit" of SBV finished for  the magic bus tour, then *we* don't know why it's been  delayed. my guess is they're still creating things for the  dvd, and when warp sent the promo discs out they thought ae  were further along on the dvd than they really were or are.  ae fucked themselves sales-wise (if the ep is going to be  sold separately) by not communicating with their label.
 
  as for warp being good about keeping releases under raps,  they did well with geogaddi but everything else has been  pretty poor. they're an indie label so they have to get a  major buzz going before releasing ep's and albums. drukqs  promo was sent out 3 months before its release, double  figure 2 or 3 months, confield about the same too. p-brane  was online a long time before warp announced it, but then  again plaid were SELLING it at their shows before warp  announced it. me and hundreds of other people have had mp3's  of the new prefuse73 ep for a couple months now and that  release still isn't announced yet. it's kind of a lose/lose  situation for warp - either release promos late and get  lackluster sales without reviews, or release it to  journalists months in advance to generate buzz and lose  sales because of piracy. i think they lose far less sales  the latter way because some of us are responsible about  buying albums after downloading them. i think they're asking  a lot for us to pick up the 3 track ae untitled ep in august  (or september!) after we all downloaded it in march or april  and got over it by may.
