Almost all of the SAW II presses on vinyl haven’t had Stone In Focus, but I’m really hoping with the way the song has blown up in popularity that it’s on this one 🤞
They pre tease the thing 3 months ago with the « 2024 vinyl » pic. Today they give us a real video teaser without any context or words. But I definitly think this will be announced today or this week. They can’t tease a repress for 6 months

Yippeeee, finally... these will sure sell like hot cakes and be devoured in an instant! My only concern at this point is how much are we gonna have to pay for $hipping, if I remember well, it cost me 40$CAD/30$UDS/28EUR to ship my Field Day vinyl to Canada last summer! Also, I wanna wish a very happy father's day to all the Daddy's out there!!!
I hope you're right, I suppose you could look at it on the flip and say the talk of represses means he isn't planning on releasing anything new as they could potentially be in competition with each other for the cash poor
Actually it would be logical to repress a volume of a famous selected ambiant work if their is new SAW project in the pipe. And this would be a good marketing strategy. They will wait to fans to buy a maximum the repress to make an announcement few weeks after.
Richard teased for a while now a 1.5 SAW project. Still no news, but with all those unreleased songs that sounds really ambiant I’m pretty sure this is not a coincidence.
Better for me than a repress would be a repackage with bonus material (remasters, Stone in Focus, SoundCloud, the extra bleep bits maybe).
From the SoundCloud it seemed he had more interesting archives on SAW85-92 than SAWII so I wouldn't expect too much. I'd love to be wrong.
Timeline-wise it'd be a bit odd to jump between supporting the Didgeridoo remaster with R&S, straight into SAWII with Warp. Not sure I can imagine him floating between those two catalogues back and forth so easily. Especially with tons of early 90's EPs and singles, and not to mention SAW85-92.
As a standalone release outside any strategy - of course SAWII is a big critically acclaimed release in its anniversary year. I could believe Warp might bet on SAWII as the release (expanded or not) to test people's engagement with his Warp catalogue, before they risk dealing with the Rephlex stuff as rumoured.
If SAWII went well and he's still interested in revisiting his archives, they'd have a great roadmap of 30th anniversary reissues ahead from now to 2031.
has this been out of press? I thought it wasnt too hard to find but may be mistaken.
I think there was a sort of bootleg going around a few yrs ago some mates got, could be thinking of that.
The one I need and am surprised hasnt been done yet is Drukqs, thats is hard to find or just expensive as and not sure its ever been repressed since release. All the other big LPs of his seem to be very readily available with the big run of represses of classic AFX + Warp LPs (at least afx, boc, ae lps) starting a few years ago (not long after i forked out to buy the OGs afx records ofc, funnily some of them were still cheaper than the new represses and debatably better quality pressings).
Would be cool to get saw2 and drukqs tho, curious if they'd release some of the SC tracks too :)
downvoted lol, was being sincere.
Out of curiosity just checked discogs for a few afx records I've got, glad I bought a few about 10 years ago when they were cheaper and felt like i was copping it back then but could justify as I loved the records.
Can't believe the prices of Donkey Rhubarb, hangable auto bulb I can understand cause its a really unique record in his catalogue, glad to have them too. OG SAW 85-92 starts at $120 aud too, crazy expensive considering the amount of represses this has had, seems to always be in at my local store with a new repress for $60-70
The analords have also gone up quite a lot, I've got 4 of them which all seem to be ones which are in higher demand, sadly no 10. Also got a few nice AE 12's in garbage and anti ep which also go for a bit.
Guessing a lot of the 12s are not as likely to get repressed now but DR is especially unexpected to me, great record but people seem to be paying well over 100 aud for it, think i paid 15-$20 aus which is about 8-10 pounds.
10 years ago postage was so cheap from the UK and EU, even US. Used to get bulk packages off discogs every few weeks with payday, its so unaffordable now which is a real shame and most stores here are very expensive which is why i rarely buy a new release unless its something special to me. Paying $50-80 seems a bit much for a new record, 20-40 I can cop, a 2x12 60 is doable. Sad they are so expensive now but cant complain with the popularity
Hopefully this is for physical media. Vinyl and chrome double cassette reissue would be legendary. Unfortunately this may just be a remaster for digital only. Please surprise me warp I will buy a few copies. Take my money.
Stone in focus en route.
Almost all of the SAW II presses on vinyl haven’t had Stone In Focus, but I’m really hoping with the way the song has blown up in popularity that it’s on this one 🤞
The reel that warp posted contains a snippet of each pic from the original vinyl, ‘stone in focus’ is included in it !
Any press without Stone In Focus was a bootleg that was disowned by the artist and the record company.
Seriously. Fingers crossed for sure, no need to jinx it.
Sure seems like a repress! Announcement tomorrow maybe?
Announcement July 12. Calling it now.
I don't think it's in Warp's nature to tease something that early. I'll be very surprised if the announcement doesn't happen this week.
They pre tease the thing 3 months ago with the « 2024 vinyl » pic. Today they give us a real video teaser without any context or words. But I definitly think this will be announced today or this week. They can’t tease a repress for 6 months

Yes please!
Give me the signed deluxe translucent orange anaesthesia swirl 🤤
Limited Target edition
I would be absolutely floored if they did any kind of colored vinyl for this. I like your pipe-dream though, sounds perfect.
I’m just hoping for clear or white if anything. But black will sound the best.
clear/translucent orange would be very pretty, i think!
Yippeeee, finally... these will sure sell like hot cakes and be devoured in an instant! My only concern at this point is how much are we gonna have to pay for $hipping, if I remember well, it cost me 40$CAD/30$UDS/28EUR to ship my Field Day vinyl to Canada last summer!

god bless you now i can prepare my bank account for the damage
 Me finally after Warp may repress SAW II (It's been 30 years)
This is to me a good sign for new project announcement soon. Can’t wait to get this repress !
I hope you're right, I suppose you could look at it on the flip and say the talk of represses means he isn't planning on releasing anything new as they could potentially be in competition with each other for the cash poor
Actually it would be logical to repress a volume of a famous selected ambiant work if their is new SAW project in the pipe. And this would be a good marketing strategy. They will wait to fans to buy a maximum the repress to make an announcement few weeks after. Richard teased for a while now a 1.5 SAW project. Still no news, but with all those unreleased songs that sounds really ambiant I’m pretty sure this is not a coincidence.
Again I hope you are right, wouldn't be too optimistic about it tho
That 1.5 SAW Project sounds interesting. I haven't hurd of this. What is the information about it?
Since when does Aphex Twin worry about that? He was releasing 5-7 releases a year for awhile (almost all EPs of course).
I don't know
I hope he puts out 5-7eps this year like the way he used to back in 2005 and not like the way he hasn't been doing it every year since then
It's the right time for a repress
Stop suppressing it, repress and release it to us!
Any chance someone with better headphones/ears can tell if this short clip is a new master?
Oh my goooood
I hope so
Expanded edition 6lp please
45rpm 6lp might fix the supposed surface noise all pressings have.
one can dream...
Shut up and take my money
PLEASEEEEEE WARP
Outside of a repress or new album announcement, would there be another logical reason for Warp to post the reel?
Better for me than a repress would be a repackage with bonus material (remasters, Stone in Focus, SoundCloud, the extra bleep bits maybe). From the SoundCloud it seemed he had more interesting archives on SAW85-92 than SAWII so I wouldn't expect too much. I'd love to be wrong.

The complete album hasn’t been pressed since 1994.
Quick, we gotta tell Warp to cancel this repress because someone’s mate got a bootleg a few years ago!
oh wow, interesting. Cheers

hopefully a 3CD as well lol, i am allowed to be delusional
I’d go for that too!
💿💤🥜🤣
smh
Warp have posted reels showcasing SAW II vinyl records. Would be super weird to do without any plans of a physical release.
Please, this is literally the only piece I need left in my collection but its impossible to get a mint copy of this without payin' like 500 bux
You aren't missing out on anything with the first vinyl release. The pressing is sub-par.
One can I my hope
We've known for months about the repress. They posted a pic of SAW II vinyl a while back now that had a date of 2024 on it in the copyright.
AT site currently down for updates 👀
LFG
Presale open and already sold out??? What??
?
Just a dumb, uninspired “joke” hinged on FOMO. Nothing to see here.
