Yo Peeps, I got Geogaddi today, and, frankly, my opinion is my own and I can't be bothered with THAT debate. However, I was a touch miffed at shelling out twenty pounds for a lavishly packaged triple vinyl set, one side of which is just an etched picture. I feel they could easily have squished it onto two records (possibly at the expense of some of the more dispensible short tracks, although it's just my view that they're dispensible yadayadayada). After the lifesize surfboard that was 'Drukqs' on vinyl, it seems to me that Warp are edging towards the sliperry slope of Mo' Wax-isation. Does anyone remember the period they had when they were just releasing preposterous, humungous feats of architecture for covers e.g. Money Mark's second lp and that fucking ace Divine Styler album that I paid a small fortune for, which respectively featured a spinning kaliedoscope type thing and a cover that turned into a huge oregami pyramid? Now THERE was a good reason not to do coke, especially if you ran a record label! Anyhoo, it's all just a little too much expense for too superfluous a result if you ask me. You didn't, of course. marciablaine.cjb.net forthcoming: e.p. on Dalriada inclusion on Benbecula "Music Volume 2" inclusion on Law & Auder "I Am:Bient" inclusion on Struktur _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

This has to be the first time I've heard someone complain that they are getting too much for their money. Sure you could squeeze 5 lp sides down to 4, at the expense of either content length or sound quality. Oh well, whatever makes you happy. ;) dan On Mon, 18 Feb 2002, production unit wrote:

Um if you 'squeeze' 5 sides worth of tracks onto 4 sides, you run into having to cut the master half as loud. Or didn't you know that more time per side == skinnier grooves == lower signal to noise? By the way, the vinyl is $25 in my town ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

well.....you could always just buy the CD ;-) definitely agreed though that the aphex twin vinyl packaging was moronic... although at least the wax itself was good quality.

Actually I was complaining about getting too much unnecessary guff for too much money. Just so you know. I believe sociologists refer to it as conspicuous consumption.
