is it different from the original? cos like a month ago went to my cd store and they had it with the normal cover, and today as i went again they had a version with japanese title on the left... what is this about? (i already own the original, just curious) |

i just bought Druqks today also SAW I & SAW II what a good day, long missing tracks are now mine :) |
||||||||

|
so well i guess there are no differences between the two versions... lol only now or did u lose them or something? |
||||||||

All Japanese releases have a paper thing wrapped round the outer edge of the cd to say the name in Japanese... That is the only difference. Sometimes Japanese releases have extra tracks and stuff but I dont think any of the Aphex records do. |

yeah, and that paper is called obi-strip. |
||||||||
|

obi strip? fascinating the fact they have to name a stupid paper on a cd cover... and whats the purpose? some collections or they havent enough non-obi strip in the shop??? wtf? :, |
||||||||
|

|
|
don't diss obi-strips! they're cute!! (sort of) ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hummmm and do the otakus love that too? im pretty sure bout it !!! tons of people must collection that... but is it the only point??? is that some guy entering the shop and asking for japanese drukqs cos of the obi strip? nooooo wayyyyy!!! |

well makes sense - they want the cd to look how it would in its country of origin - but want japanese-only literate people to be able to read it i think its a great idea obi strips are great |

i want swedish obi strips on my BoC cds then thats just pointless imo |

The Funki Porcini one on fast asleep is in English as is the main CD. Mind you, I think it's because the title is so hard to read on the cover you can't tell who it is. It was seeing the obi-strip that mad me realise it was porcini and hence buy it... It does get in the way and I can imagine it getting quite tatty in the near future. |

The Japanese version of Surfing On Sine Waves has a bonus track on it from the Quoth EP, Bike Pump Meets Bucket I think. Lots of WARP releases in Japan have bonus tracks - AE, BOC, Squarepusher, Aphex, etc. |

why is that? why is Japan the designated country to get cool things like obi strips and bonus tracks.. ok well im only curious about them getting the bonus tracks.. |

because cd's are more expensive in japan. Apparantly for japanese people it's cheaper to import cd's from somewhere else. So in order to make people buy cd's in japan, they have to put something extra on it. |

everything is so expensive in japan... like almost 6 dollars for an apple...! :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ha! Its not quite that expensive! I found CDs to be about the same price as here, and their ciggies are much cheaper. food is about the same price, & often better quality (in resterants.) (arg i've forgotten how to spell!!!) |

||||||||
|
|

|
|
btw the apples or fruits in general are more expensive than the rest, cos japan import all their wood, vegetables fruits, cos they dont want to change the nature into a production machine, they dont want to cut their trees... strange |
