I hear tell that Warp are pressing up 200,000 copies of the Aphex Twin's SAW2: 50k for the UK, 50k for the rest of Europe, and 100k for the US. At a rough guess (from someone in the trade) they will net Mr. James a cool half a million by the time they are all sold. Meanwhile, Beaumont Hannant (of Tastes and Textures & Basic Data Manipulation) reckons that his next album on GPR will have twenty tracks: ten on vinyl (totalling 68 minutes) and a further ten on CD (totalling another 72 minutes). Yes, the two formats will have entirely different track listings! Why? Because otherwise he reckons half of the tracks will simply never be released: he is already working on the album to follow. -malc.
