Yeh Hey! I finally have it, complete with artwork! Here's what you slow coaches are in for. WAP LP21LTD Triple LP on Limited edition Brown vinyl (the colour's not as bad as it sounds). The front cover is an Aphex logo but in very badly faded paint, giving a 'textural' effect. Tho' it's a tripler it's just in a normal (chunky) gatefold. On the inside there's all the infamous textural pictures and the time circle segment things. The length of a track is indicated by the size of a circle segment. Inside there is a sleeve sized poster thing with all the dedications on (written in RDJ's own handwriting (wow :^). Mmmm any way.... As for identifying any of the track texture's, just relised it's almost impossible because the only link between a texture and a track is it's segment size (on the actual label each texture is a ratio-ed segment of the label itself) and lots of tracks are the same length. Oh dear. I think were going to have lots of fun going "you now that track that goes like....." Right all I have to do now is go home and listen to it!! greg 3 0 3

Oh dear. I think } were going to have lots of fun going "you now that track that goes } like....." In the interests of saving us confusion, might I propose the protocol "SAW2.x" where "x" is the number of the song, i.e. "SAW2.13 twisted my brain last night!". Of course, this supposes that the track listing is in the same order between all three formats (and that the extra tracks are at the end).... Brian p.s. - I was listening to 808 State's Utd State 90 last night, and my girlfriend Laura noticed that the main melody at times was "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" - it went on for two bars, so it's not coincidence :)

Now don't go about suggesting influences... You should hear the beating I got from Black Dog by joking that they were Zeppelin fans... :) Actually, personally, for some reason I love that song, although I think that altering it to sound modern would be bastardising it...
