clipped the text at the bottom from the skimo new release list. at the risk of starting an annoying thread, what the hell is with this ongoing warp/nothing crap? who is really to blame here? it seems like Nothing trying to make a few more cents by reducing production costs, but maybe warp really is at fault for some reason. i honestly don't understand it. it seems so simple to me. if you want people to buy the US version, give them the same product on the same (or at least close) release date. why is this so hard? Nothing's plan may have worked before the internet came along and made it easy for anyone to get details on UK imports and buy them on-line. besides, don't they realize the typical autechre fan is not some average casual music listener, but rather someone very likely to actually care about hidden bonus tracks and unique packaging and be willing to put down a few extra dollars for it? and the import bans are just a joke. has anyone noticed the Nothing version of the LP5 CD is now coming in some truly ugly generic white package? >AUTECHRE: EP7 CD (WARP) $15.99 >Whoever is to blame, this completely stupid and thoughtless move on >either nothing or warps part means that the import version is the only >one that has a secret "hidden track". limited supply on the import so >let me know which way you need to go.
