Hi, I have the opportunity to buy Aphex Twin's SAW II (the limited brown vinyl version on WARP) at a nifty price. However, I already have the 2cd version (missing one track of course). I wanted to know if the brown vinyl version is very limited (how many copies) and if it is at all valuable (as a collector's thing). Thanks, dv8

speaking of Aphex Twin SAWII: less then 30 seconds after I finished sending that last post, my girlfriend walked in and threw a copy of Aphex Twin "Words & Music" at me...she said she found it yesterday in a local bookstore for $.25! does anyone know the scoop with this CD? Now I've got 3 copies and none of them have a front cover booklet. It sez "Promotion Only" and I found one in a thrift store, one in a pawnshop and the other in a bookstore...but never in a record store. wierd isn't it? I wonder if they sent these promos out to all of the Newage / EZ listening stations and they said "whoh, look at that scary guy on the CD, we can't play something like that" and then threw them out with their old clothes, toasters and shit. oh well, I like it! word to the mothership, brock np: "Flying High" - The Irresistible Force (still)

They didn't come with a front cover booklet. It's a US promo-only interview disc... some tracks off of SAWII, very short interview bits with RDJ, snippets of live performances, and an *exclusive* track (if you want to call it that - but then again, why the hell not?). I would imagine that they were sent to all of the undeserving record shops, radio stations, and periodicals throughout the US in an attempt to actually be listened to. Instead, they just ended up as lunch money [trade fodder] for those who got them in the first place. Liberate the promos I say! cisum. .`-). @@ -' christopher miller o.' evil@digital.net ' on: "Interactive Music" by INTERACTIVE MUSIC (aka Atom Heart).

I've had lots of request for info on this CD so I'll give you all I know about it: APHEX TWIN - Words & Music (1) Intro Words :27 (2) Track #1 7:15 (3) Words :33 (4) Track #2 7:55 (5) Words :47 (6) Track #7 5:50 (7) Words :22 (8) Words (Processed) 5:02 Promotion Only. Not For Sale CP 1994 Sire Records Company, marketed by Warner Bros. Records Inc. Tracks 2,4,6 are all off SAWII. SAWII track #'s are 1,9,7 respectively, all on disk 2 (Sire release) The words are all mixed over older, harder RDJ tracks like Tamphex. The last track is RDJ talking, but distored and filtered, with no music. I've also had may request to take the extra disks off my hands... their all spoken for (you lucky few know who you are!) But as I know how many of you are RDJ nuts (like me), I'm going to try using my SGI to digitize the "Words" tracks. All I need is someplace to put them and what format (I can do AIFF, AIFF-C, WAVE, NEXT/SUN, M-PEG-1). If anyone is interested, please e-mail me. hope this helps, brock np: WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS - "Spare Ass Annie" "I know who they are, their FRENCH people"

This has got to be the most disturbing three or four minutes of audio available anywhere. It sounds like Rich's end of the phone interview, but I can't make out a single word. Terrifying. .grant.h.horne .http://delta.is.tcu.edu/~ghhorne/
