i agree with lance 100% about this. i was much happier to pick up the
single disc warp version of come to daddy three weeks earlier for an
extra $4 than wait for the sire version to come out. then i saw the sire
version the other day and it looked like crap. all of the text was just
flat black. no cool silver and greys. i just don't think the US is ever
going to get its shit together. like the pending mu-ziq ep. what a load
of crap. to my ears the mr angry remix is awful. i don't even like the
fact that it's on mealtime. but to have this vote thing just for show?
talk about screwing over your customers. wait... one domestic release
that i was *really* happy about was FUSE's train tracs ep on
TVT/waxtrax! with two more tracks than the warp release, but even with
tri repetae, if i had known more about autechre at the time it
*originally* came out, i would have bought it then, and the eps
seperate. i'd rather have all the artwork.
take care,
alan!
