I'm pretty sure of this. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why so sure?... I can't help feeling it would have surfaced in some form by now... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Only four copies exists to my knowledge. Given out to trusted people. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Arn't you confusing this with CAT023, phobia?... the Caustic Window LP that never got released... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I feel it doesn't exist. Nobody knows MP3's on the net. Many people in the recent past claimed to have it on MP3 while after downloading, you hear immediatly they are fake. People who are claiming that they own the record have always different (thus false) descriptions. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If there are just 4 copies around, it's pretty obvious that there ain't no MP3s. There have been some stories around this record... like Grant "lost" his copy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There are just 4 copies of the Caustic Window Album, but it is not known how much copies there are in existance for the Q-Chastic EP, probably 100 or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I doubt this record exists. I mean, even Richard James doen't have a copy of it. Anyway, I think James just does these little things for a laugh, building up huge interest in records which don't even exist. |

I agree, it's the old Aphex/Rephlex bullshit factor... There must be more disinfo about AFX than anyone else...I think thats the way he likes it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, Artemis. But I'd say part of the reason why I'm so interested in AFX is because so much of his stuff, being hard to find, has developed a near mythical status. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't understand why they create records, let everybody know about them and then never release them... Seems senseless to me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Rephlex is more interested in developping a mythical status than satisfying his fans i suppose. It's the same problem with SKAM. Why is the MASK-serie so limited? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a mythical status doesn't sell records... How make money then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Selling a few more on ebay when they're worth a shedload apiece. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, that's right, i have seen people bidding for over £500 for MASK 100 (no joke). The seller was also from the SKAM-crew. |
||||||||
|

Think a lot of MASk series is limited because of samples used & not wanting anyone to notice... And doing limited stuff is often a matter of economics...easier to finance a 1000 12" that do a huge release...and also making things limited makes sure you don't have loads of costly stock lying around... and perhaps sometimes it's good when things stay small... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's a pitty of that this serie is so limited, it's one of the greatest IDM ever made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've not heard any of it. Which should I buy first? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Buying the originals ? Ahum, you must be very rich. I have it all on CD. |
||||||||

Rephlex did most of this "bullshitting" well before the popularity of the internet, and eBay, and thousands of dorky teenagers having opinions even though they have not even bought a single Rephlex release. this record is probably one of their "abortions" as they call it, maybe they tried something weird with the vinyl and it didnt work, was all fucked up... so they abandoned it? if there are really 100 Q-chastic around, i find it very, very hard to believe that nobody has had the urge to profit off their copy. its only 4 tracks anyway. |

Q-Chastic wasn't a proper release, it was a test-pressing, and far less than 100 were made. There were a few distributed to shops in the early days of Rephlex, and most who owned it were already friends of Richard/Rephlex anyway, hence you not seeing it on the net. It DOES exist, but just like the early BoC stuff, it's in "the right hands" at the moment and thus why you cannot get your hands on it otherwise. From what I heard, the Q-Chastic tracks are nothing special anyway, so the only real reason to own this would be for the collectible value, not the actual music, and for me, that kinda defeats the purpose. |

Someone on this very board was saying a couple of weeks back that he finally got MP3s off a record shop owner, and he was going to share it out... Never seemed to happen though...hmmm strange that :) So do all those BOC releases actually exist? (the ones they used to have listed on their website) |

on the inside of my CD of caustic window compilation, it has a list of rephlex releases from winter 91 up to spring 98, and CAT 002 is listed thus "Q-CHASTIC Q-CHASTIC EP" -- more mysterious is the release after it, CAT 003, which is "UNTITLED UNTITLED" - anyone know what THAT is? |
