Just seen an article on this, I didn't even know this was going on. Was anyone lucky enough to get a copy. There's also a test-pressing going for 6,000$ on ebay.
| quote: | | More than 4,000 backers pooled money to set the long-lost album free. A Kickstarter campaign to release Aphex Twin‘s test pressing-only Caustic Window album has raised a total of $67,424 – more than seven times its original target. Backers who paid $16 each will now receive a digital copy of the LP ripped straight from the vinyl in a lossless audio format. The 16 tracks include two that previously appeared on compilation releases (‘Phlaps’ and ‘****’) and two recordings of Aphex prank-calling his friends. Some of the tracks have been heard in live DJ sets and mixes, but outside of the two that turned up on compilations, none have seen commercial release. The LP initially turned up on Discogs at the start of April (just a few days after FACT unearthed another mysterious Aphex Twin track) with an asking price of $13,500, which led fans at the WATMM forum to hatch a plan to release the album on Kickstarter, bringing Rephlex on board to make it official. |

| i guess it's cool that it'll get released, but 67K to make it happen? it's probably not even that good. |

They only needed $9300 to make it happen. When it was first announced they were only going to give out 500 vouchers and later switch it to unlimited...but the time window was short.
There's some nice gems on this release.

| Yeah, my mate's been banging on about this. The conspiracy doing the rounds in the IDM community is that RDJ himself is the mysterious Discogs seller. Apparently he’s currently getting divorced and any of his official Aphex income could end up being shared with his ex-wife, so he sold this anonymously to keep the money for himself. Make of that what you will. |
