astrobotnia II

any thought on this?

i have listened to most of it now, and am enjoying it
greatly. the first track is acidy with sweeping pads on and
these mad drill'n'bass fills - v. nice.

the second track (the first part of the mp3 samples) is the
best in my opinion.

anyone else posess this yet - what d'you think?

Should turn up in the morning...so I'll let you know
then...

But Pt2 was def my fave of the 3 AS sample MP3s...

i haven't listened to all of my pt1 yet (i got them both at
the same time), but pt2 sounds a bit less ambient and a bit
harsher...still very cool and space-age though. an excellent
ep.

I played Astrobotnia part 1 to a david bowie-a-holic friend
of mine and he loved it.
He's got hundreds of rock CDs and I'm slowly getting him
into the electronic world with regular lessons in
Warp/Rephlex stuff.
He doesn't like Venetian Snares at all though...

Pt 2 is my favorite, from what I've heard of the rephlex
extract. I'm still waiting on my fucking warpmart order,
its been 3 days, hurry up! =)

There would be a cd version too, imo. Take a look to the
pictures on www.rephlex.com

I had a deep listen session last night in the darknesss...

pt 2 is one of the best records in my collection. totally
awesome! they even left out the best track (a1) off the
rephlex samples....

this just can't be a new actor on the scene. neitherless i
wanna shake his/her/their hand(s).

yay!!..just received Pt2...(along with a free AE LP5 Promo,
cheers WARP)...

And yeah, this is more my cup of tea that Pt1...still think
Pt2 it sounds very very AFXish altho there arn't any clues
on the sleeve or anywhere...

Woofer: Just a Vinyl only release...the pics at Rephlex for
Pt2 are the Vinyl itself & a sticker thats on the
outside...Big Pity really as I'd love to have this on CD...

But the fact that it's Vinyl only is kinda suspious I
reckon...it is 2002 and vinyl-only releases are rarer than
hens teeth so what gives?...maybe it's someone who's not
allowed to release stuff to too wider an audience and this
is a way around contractual obligations...

ho hum...months of speculation and we still don't know for
sure but with music this good, it doesn't really matter...

believe em...

Remeber when Joyrex announced on his site a long while ago
that Aphex was going to release a EP with 6 tracks (almost
direct after Drukqs) very soon....hmmmmmmmm he talked about
a march date but it got delayed...mabe this EP is Aphex Twin
material afterall, and I dont "give a flying phluck" what
Grant says.

Even if he tells us that it aint Aphex or Ovuca it can still
be. (We will never know even if Ovuca tells us its his album
we dont know for sure ;)

vinyl order.....
It's not a limited release is it??
if it is I should hurry

i've said that a few times before and i'm more and more
convinced that part 02 is the only part that has made not
only by ovuca, but afx has pushed a button or two too...
