The search button on the xltronic page is missing.?.?> I wanted to post this in the general Oversteps thread that was started already. anyhow... I got the Japan edition of Oversteps in the mail yesterday. It has the bonus track "Xektses SQL" on it. While I don't regret the purchase I would say the bonus track is only mildly interesting, but much better than the bonus track on Quaristice. It is beatless, and reminds me of the second half of "Sublimit" in that it has this submerged quality to it. It sounds like a disturbed sea monster waking from a deep sleep, building to something more aggressive that never materializes. At three minutes, its the shortest on the album. The Oversteps packaging is digipack. There is an obi card that hugs the right side and on the back of it are thumbnail pictures of every AE CD since Confield, then more below of the Warp20 comps. I like that the design incorporates the name of the bonus track in big letters in the interior along with the other names (and listed on the CD face too). There is also a small printed foldout, with the blurry band photo we've all seen, and what is my guess a essay on the band written in kanji. |

Bonus track with the Japan edition. Just for marketing purposes. Clever, but annoying... Europe should have the bonus tracks |

it's an interview actually, a pretty good one, with Rob Brown |

i guess you don't understand how the Japanese music retail market works then. they need the bonus tracks to get their natives to buy locally instead of importing, which is cheaper for them to do. |

Oversteps is such a great album,i feel within time it will go on to cure AIDS and the common cold. |

i know it was you :p on a side note, my vinyl copy of oversteps arrived and it is brilliant |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok i can't take it anymore, upload the track now and let us download it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i ordered the vinyl too. i guess cause i live in the states i got to wait a bit more. :( |
||||||||
|

somebody else has to do that. the CD drive on my computer is shot to hell. "Xektses SQL" is a good track, but it is only of the quality most bonus or "hidden" tracks usually are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. and depending on when you ordered, you may have to wait even longer. the original run of vinyl went out of stock, and on March 6th they announced more stock. if you ordered after March 6th, the records wont be despatched from the UK until the second week of April. things usually take about a week to reach the USA once it's been despatched from the UK, so if you ordered before March 6th you'll have it in around about a week's time. if not, then you should expect it in the 3rd to 4th week of April. |

I ordered in mid-Jan, so I should be getting it sooner than later. I'm content with the Japan edition I have, so I can afford a bit more patience. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah you should get yours in the next week or so |
