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.
