from soundmurderer again :
"like it says on the rephlex site, the binder is "made to hold several editions" so i wouldn't call this a market tester at all. when i made my comments above i was speaking of all analord songs. i have no idea which two are on the first release.
i wanted to write a long diatribe about people talking junk about it being on abunch of vinyl 12"s... but nevermind, people can think whatever they want the music will speak for itself. i can tell you from personal experience that rephlex is not concerned about just trying to make a dollar (or pound, in their case). there's a lot of things people don't consider, and maybe rightly so since i would assume the majority are not directly involved with the industry side of things (things such as, only 12"s with 3 or less tracks can be considered to be charted, etc). but it's sad that the first thing some people think of is the they're just trying to coax an extra buck out of their fans."
peace

fuck off.
he is finally rewarding hard core music fans , who let's be honest tend to own turntables/a vinyl player , i acknowledge being a fan doesnt mean having to own a record player or whatever , but fuck it for those who have one , this is a fucking delight. why the hell is anyone complaining - its fucking old school style AFX from what senor vibert , mike p and soundmurderer are saying... and i'm sure they are more clued up than any of us.

and just look at the planet-mu label..Mike Ps says that he dont even release shit on vinyl becaue he dont make any money from it, a lot of planet-mu releases aint even on 12".
There u go, this release is for the ardcore fans.
He could make more money if he releasd 3 EPs on CD a la 4 tracks.

...of course not, that´s why it´s bit of a hoax to have all this talk about analogue this & analogue that, isn´t it??!!?

Why would that be a hoax? Wasn't there all kinds of rumours floating around about Richard's next release(s) being purely analogue "acid" style? And wasn't someone talking about reports of Richard spending all kinds of money on a Roland Cv-Midi converter device, etc. (If anyone was to go purely analogue in this day and age, and still have a somewhat modern type of sound, it seems that would be a good tool, and Richard obviously is a likely person to do such, since he probably has quite a bit more money to invest than the average electronic music producer...) And taking into account the name of this new release, and the fact that it is being released exlusively on vinyl, I would think it is a fair assumption to say that this release will be analogue.

Eveyones gunna be buying up analogues now. And yes, People on Analogue Heaven have been selling to a Richard James without realising it was aphex. Until someone pointed it out on the list. They give good trader comments on the list. He was a good trader.

check how vinyl (raw 10khz) measures up to cd. Then be happy.
"This means that, by definition, a digital recording is not capturing the complete sound wave. It is approximating it with a series of steps. Some sounds that have very quick transitions, such as a drum beat or a trumpet's tone, will be distorted because they change too quickly for the sample rate."

i will join the speculation dialectic:
why it will suck:
if mr. james were to ask himself, 'how would i go about making a killer profit?', his answer presumably would be:
1. release a couple of non sequitur tracks. 2. make them analogue so audiophiles want to get the vinyl. 3. press them on an exclusive medium to generate mystery. 4. generate hype by remaining mute on details. 5. ventriloquate some friends to bust a nut over this online.
6. charge $$$.
why it won't suck:
even if this is a money-making ploy, why madden everyone and release junk? undoubtedly it wouldn't be especially difficult for him to assemble 13 minutes of excellent material.
why it will suck:
why madden everyone and release junk
because richard loves to laugh at his fans, especially for their monotheistic devotion to him. my guess is that for a long time now he has been releasing under psuedonyms and using the afx moniker to abuse the fanbase (i.e. us).
it is typical for artists tauted as brilliant to be struck with fear.. after the public lynching drukqs received, maybe richard is afraid to destroy his legacy with a release that will be misunderstood.. he might be more inclined to leave the aphex twin moniker and its legacy of perfection and hide behind pranks..
why it won't suck:
goddamnit, because want it not to.

thats like total bollox, because cd audio quantizes the analogue signal into 2^16 steps, so its quite hard to tell the difference between cd, dvd and vinyl on not-so-good systems.

Yep, £100 CD player hi fi sounds a lot better than £100 hi-fi with turntable.
However, in high end audiophile systems (not that I own one, but I'm fortunate enough to of used a friend's) vinyl is the bizniz.

how could the membrane of a speaker possibly move in a stepfunction? and the data is NOT stored in this way on a cd. my feelings as a physicist are hurt.

fuck audiophiles, i say you wont get much diference between listening to afx anal shit on simple Cd player and some serious expensive audiophile shit. afx is not from mars, hes doing his stuff in normal way, its not cosmic technology, besides, whats the fuckin purpose of making trakcs that are best to listen at the best hi-fi system ? thats stupid.
if you wont have anything to say, you say about how audiphile it will be, just because afx wants to earn wnother pot of gold, and he will laugh at the end of the day. so he releases another vinyl with two (sic ! ) tracks , and none of aphex fans wont admit they were waiting for more, just say how audiophile it will be.
AFX time is over i think, and all his pathetic fanatic fans must admit it one day. hes not invincible.

I don't think anyone is saying that they would't love it if he released more music, it's just that some people are pointing out the sonic advantages of a release of this type, rather than only griping about it only being two songs.
I think everyone here knows if they don't want to pay for this release it will be possible to pirate it over the internet, but they will be losing the superior sound quality that one always receives when actually purchasing a physical copy of the album.
