why can't ae put out decent quality vinyl?
i hear all the time in their interviews how they think mp3 is worthless, shite quality, etc...
yet every vinyl (now untilted) i get of theirs is flimsy as cardboard.
very, VERY unimpressed with the weight of the untilted vinyl.
not happy at all.
the artwork on the otherhand, a++

I hate it because If I want the vinyl I will have to wait until later next month. If I want the cd I can go down to the shop and buy it.
Oh but I would love to have it on vinyl... but. Fuck it. Im going to buy the cd. If I want the vinyl sometime down the road I will get it then.
I cant believe I havent heard the damn album yet. Off I go to buy the cd.

I like vinyl where the edges are kinda square, and not the ones that are like sawblades. Thats from an ergonomic standpoint, mind you.

oh it sounds lovely, no doubt about that. yeah i take that back about draft,
untilted is just, i was all excited...ripped open the packaging, the vinyl flopped out, and i grabbed it and it felt so flimsy, it was kind of a let-down
sigh, oh well ....

hmmm. example: saw 85-92, donkey rhubarb, abb3, iss:sa, abpoitc, hi scores, twoism lp's are all flimsy but sound great... though the 150+ weights are nice. draft is a nice weight, too bad untilted isn't.

also to further protect from warping...

How gay is this? My bank will let me cash any american cheque over the counter no questions asked, but if I directly deposit the check into my account via the teller, it takes 25 motherfucking days before I can touch it. Thats is the reason I could not buy Untilted today.

the vinyl is cheap quality ...
i dont like the feel of it ... it's thin, and my main concern is how long it will last.
you know, thinner vinyl tends to warp easier, right?
im talking about down the road.
you would think people like autechre would make sure their music goes out on quality vinyl.
....that's all im saying/

If you take care of your discs, there's hardly a chance of them getting warped or fucked in any other way, thick or thin. I mean I've got 2nd hand stuff from the 70s and they're not warped.
Keep them out of the sun and kiss them goodnight, and you'll have them for a long time.

for the last fucking time, im not talking about the QUALITY OF THE SOUND, im talking about the QUALITY OF THE PHYSICAL VINYL RECORD.
my intent of this thread was that ae always talk about how everything they do is quality ,,,, they hate mp3s ,,, etc on and on, yet when it cmoes to physical stuff, their quality is lacking.
there is NO PROBLEM with the sound (duh) ... stop saying that.
vinyl is made to last ... i want something to give to my children one day, kinda like my pops is now ... thicker vinyl could last longer and less prone to warping.
it's just preference, but damn ... after going to 180g+ vinyl it's kinda hard to go back and take all the other shit seriously.
hope you cansee where im coming from im not all pissed off about it but damn, would have bene nice to have some heavier weight

i understand completely how you feel about the quality. after having 180g+ vinyl, it *is* quite difficult having anything else.
i reckon i'll just purchase the cd.

yeah, i can't justify buying cds anymore.
hard to explain, but only if the production and packaging is good (i.e. the hafler trio/ae release, wow)
i like buying vinyl though ...
you'll be happy with the cd, but personally id buy the vinyl and download a flac rip of untilted from the cd and burn that.
