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...
