from www.grooverider.com:

For a limited period only, the album will be available as a Quadruple vinyl
LP sheathed in a heavy slipcase and pressed on supaheavyweight 180gsm
virgin vinyl
(top quality for the true vinyl connoisseur) and a Double CD in special
packaging. The limited editions have a total running time of just under 2
hours, while the standard single CD album contains all the same tracks but
edited down to just under 80 minutes.

that should clear that one up...
speaking of grooverider, i got this white label of his 'rainbows of colour'
track in the mail the other day from this promoter... 2 mixes.  not the
album version or master's at work mix (from what i can tell from the above
website)... could be the optical and grooverider mixes i guess... pretty
decent, yet nothing too special dn'b.

as far as a new autechre release... last time I spoke to the interscope
peeps (when the warp/nothing releases were coming out) she said there was a
new full-length (not lp5) coming out on nothing in the new year... and she
"thought" it might be a nothing-only release.  she didn't sound overly
knowledgeable about it though...so whatever good that gossip does for you...
