I was order #31, and received it (in Austin) on Thursday via the postal
service--yours is probably enroute as we're typing. Mine got here in 95%
shape, a minor seam split in the vinyl sleeve holding the actual 12".
Wouldn't be an issue at all except for the embossed Aphex logo in the lower
righthand corner of the vinyl sleeve, which will surely make it impossible
to replace. Nice touch, btw.
The binder itself isn't as epic as it has been made out to be; in addition
to being a sometimes Aphex spotter, I'm also way into Factory...and while
the concept behind the Analord binder is Factory-esque, the execution lacks
the full attention to detail of Manchester's best imprint ever. No
ingenious catalog #ering, no inset design or artwork, and the brass
electroplated binder rings look as though they'll start to discolor quite
soon. Maybe not, but I've got a hunch...
The music itself is pretty choice--although I'm sure it's intended for 45,
I like mine just fine at 33. It's rich, dense, and warm on both sides; at
33, it's melodically and thematically as complex as RDJAlbum, but the
overall musicality and tonality are, to my ears, all about SAWI. I expect
to play the shit out of the final CD comp.
