Grr, Amazon price fixing

Amazon just put Draft 7.30 up to £11.99 from £10.99.

I guess preorders showed that it would be more popular than
they had imagined.

I got 'Polka Trax' for a total of £10 from amazon.co.uk and
about a month later it came back out on warpmart.

Amazon "Now you've been done"

I guess they can. I wish I had pre-ordered it before.

I was trying to buy Squarepusher - Big Loada EP the other
day but Warpmart didn't have it up for sale anymore. I
nearly went to Amazon but I decided to buy a big order from
Warpmart because (a) I got a sampler CD with an Aphex remix
on it for free with my Red Snapper album, (b) they send me
pretty stickers and (c) I like them.

Polka Trax is very minimalistic in my opinion. You can play
it and if you don't pay attention you can all too easy think
that it's bland. However, if you play it while you are
attentive to the sound you pick up the small changes and
detail. I like playing Polka Trax 4 on my mp3 player while
I'm high as I get the best affect this way.

I got the vinyl but wanted the Polka Trax on CD so I didn't
pay much attention to the other tracks yet. The CD is like
two singles in one y'see.

Still, Chris Clark - Ceramics is the Bomb is available to
pre-order, and Plaid's Parts in the Post

That sounds like the Black Dog peel session. I put it on as
soon as I got it, but was doing something else at the time.
Before I knew it the CD was over and I couldn't even
remember hearing anything.

Listen again! I don't follow The Black Dog (Tho I really
should) but that Peel Session is great to my ears. Polka
Trax has less to it then The Black Dog but I get what you
mean. Polka Trax 4 is like a 4x4 beat with little polka
blips that change slightly over the top.

Warp Peel Sessions Vol 1 (Japanese Import) is one of the
best purchases I have ever made. I'd have paid £6 for Milk
DX alone. :>

Yeah I like the Black Dog stuff. I got all the peel sessions
separately before that Japanese one was available.

It was an impulse buy to me. It got me interested in AE
which is annoying since I have way too much music to explore
already.

Hold on a few days!
