It sounds like PUCKERED1 must have >some other personal issues with on-line shops that may be the >real reasons of his ranting. 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! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
