(idm) Ripoff alert: Aphex Orange single CD

I was pretty excited to see this Orange(TM) CD single in the Aphex Twin
bin today, which purported to be "Come To Daddy Remixed."  There are four
songs on it from the original "Come To Daddy" CD, and they seem not to be
remixed at all.  Be sure you get to hear this before you pay import prices
for it in the US, or anywhere outside of England.  It's half as many
tracks you already own for the same high price.

How can they do this to us?  Is it only to help us associate MTV and
advertising with rip-offs?  I already knew that.  I want my money back,
and I want an apology, Richard.  I work for my money, unlike Warp, in this
case.

Speaking of which, I spotted the Plaid "Not For Threes" CD (Warp import) 
in Boston for the _first time_ today.  Why isn't this getting proper
distribution?  The copy I saw was $26.99.  Oh, come on.
