I think there is really nothing to it, it is just a track-length listing presented in an interesting way. The "first three songs" you mention is surely a red herring based on the way the text is formatted, as for why the totals are repeated, who knows; it's the sort of thing the designers republic like to do - I just see it as a bit of a joke - just look at a receipt from a grocery store one day when you buy one item. Like as not the value occurs at least 3 times, more if you pay with the right money. Item: 0.67 ST: 0.67 Tot: 0.67 Caten: 1.00 Ch: 0.33 I think that may be the stupidest thing I've ever posted to idm, but who cares!?

Well, i think that's the same as the normal album...however, the copy i got(i traded with someone, so i don't know if this is a normal buy, or if its special) is a double cd with two sections on the second cd: Anvil Vampre, and Garbage...i can only assume these are from other releases, and included in Tri Reptae...i dunno...anyone?

I believe that is correct. Ali "It means we'll manage I'll master your language And in the meantime I'll create my own" (Tricky)

I picked up a used Autechre disc without the liner notes etc. that claims to be a promotional copy of tri repetae++. I was wondering if it differs from the album. It has 10 tracks: 1 deal (6:40) 2 clipper (8:34) 3 leterel (7:08) 4 rotar (8:04) 5 stud (9:41) 6 eutow (4:16) 7 c/pach (4:39) 8 gnit (5:50) 9 overand (7:33) 10 radio (10:09) Thanks. PS.
